Fabulous setting, it felt safe. Gorgeous tents
Rowan 2 bedroom safari tent
Liked Beautiful campsite, the safari tent was really special, all the toiletries, towels, and cookware were high quality and lots of nice touches.
The hot tub and pool were very warm and relaxing.
The staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful.
It was a little world of rest and relaxation.
All in all , a nice pitching site
Woodland non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Hot tub great , loved that it was no restrictions on using the pool and hot tub, liked the trees surrounding the camping pitch , the toiletries on the shower rooms really nice and handy , the fire pits was great to have and use
Disliked The toilets and showers being unisex makes it a bit awkward when grown mens have to face young girls coming out of the showers and viceversa, the cleanliness of the pool itself and the glass covering it wasn't up to a good standard
8.5/10
