Owl Valley Glamping

Líbí se It was very peaceful, the setting is stunning, the hosts were lovely and helpful from arrival to departure, the hot tub water is changed daily and pre heated for you to adjust to your preferred temperature (by adding cold water). The sound of the owls was lovely at night and the trickling stream was nice to listen to. Steves shack is a cool feature and we enjoyed a few games of pool and tried to play darts. The cooking area was well stocked and we enjoyed a meal cooked on the stove on both evenings of our stay. Lots of robins that land really close to you whilst you are relaxing outside your accommodation.

Nelíbí se There were a few small things we feel could have improved the overall experience for us, the main thing was the no electricity, we feel that 'glamping' should be a more luxurious experience with ample facilities to charge devices, watch TV etc, the toilet being compostable and not a flush as well as the outdoor shower which didn't get hot, lukewarm at most isn't up to 'glamping' standards. We aren't used to having to go outside to go to the toilet first thing in the morning and we felt that we have been to campsites with better facilities. The games shack didn't get enough light to be able to play darts, the pool table had a bit more light but would have had more if the perspex roof panels had been cleared of the build up of leaves. We tried all the fairy lights, torches and candles but it didn't really make much difference.
The bed was hard and we could feel the wooden frame under the mattress so had sore hips the following days from sleeping on it, also there were discrepancies from the photos advertised on the website and what was actually in the accommodation, the flooring was different, there was no mirror, the yellow sofa which was only in the last couple of photos was wobbly on one side.
There were a lot of spiders webs in both the games shack and the shower/toilet area which is to be expected given it's location so if you aren't a spider person this may not be the best place for you.
There is very little phone signal which we weren't too fussed about but some people might not like that.
I don't want to put people off at all because it's a nice place but these are the honest points to help others make a decision if this place is for them.

Líbí se Fantastic little private cabin in quiet countryside. There's a little space and foliage between the different spots, and they provide all the basics for cooking on the little gas stove.

Toilet was much nicer than I'd expected a composting toilet to be.

Chris was lovely to chat to as well.

Líbí se Wow! What an incredible place. A real gem! Chris and his family have created a real treasure of a spot at Owl Valley. The little touches were so well thought out and it really felt like luxury. Our kids had the best time adventuring and it was encouraged! The shack is brilliant! Chris says nature did all the hard work, but I don’t think it was just nature, him and his family do too. Thank you so so much for having us. We will see you soon!

Nelíbí se That we had to leave…
