Liked: Excellent stay at Ducklings Den, the bell tents were lovely, really well equipped, the beds were comfy and warm. We were allowed to bring a gazebo which was lovely so we had more space for food ans outdoor games etc. My daughter who is 8, really enjoyed staying here, she loved seeing the animals. The farm was very peaceful and I don’t have anything negative to say. Looking forward to our return :)
Disliked: Nothing I can think of.

Bell tent
Liked: The facilities that come with the bell Tent you can not complain. The beds were very comfortable and the extra blankets kept you nice and cosy. The shared BBQ and Pizza was a nice touch but unfortunately we did not use it due to bad weather.
Disliked: The two bell tents are just adjacent a single farm track that seemed like some locals were using as a cut through so at time you had cars coming through which is not ideal if you have young children. The toilet and shower facilities are adequate if you are the only family staying at the site but if there are more people staying just 1 shower and toilet is not sufficent enough.

Bell tent
Liked: Everything was clean, tidy. Even though there was only one toilet which was in with the shower it was immaculate! Tea, coffee, milk and biscuits were a lovely touch. And providing firewood was great. Washing up facilities were good and plates etc. Lovely surroundings and easy walk to hope cove
Disliked: Confusion as to wht bins to use for recycling except cans or glass. But that's not really downside just me being picky. No Internet signal/very intermittent. But again, not essential when you are in a lovely place like that.

Bell tent
Liked: We loved the remote location which was quiet and safe for the kids to play. Alice was a great host. My little was ill and Alice was there within minutes to help us out. The bell tents were surprisingly spacious and everything was there ready to use such as towels, bedding etc. The bbq area was brilliant as we had family to visit. Shower room and toilet were very clean.
Disliked: We would've liked a bit more privacy from the bell tent adjacent.

Bell tent
Liked: Nice peaceful spot, with just two bell tents in the pitch. Good facilities in the tent. Excellent bathroom facilities - very clean and nice with good hot shower.
Disliked: Quite cold in the spring as no heater inside the tent but lots of blankets provided and fire pit outside. Gas cooker didn't work very well. Better lighting inside would have been good too as solar lamp not bright at all.
