Liked: Thank you to Claire and her lovely Ernest Retreats Site. We had never been before and were so happy with the site. It was clean and peaceful and the views were incredible. Such a relaxing weekend. The Ramblers Pod was perfect for us. We enjoyed every minute. Such a stunning area. Claire and her family were very friendly and helpful. A real family site. Wonderful space for children to enjoy and play also.

Liked: Nice site that still feels peaceful even when busy. The showers/toilet blocks kept clean there’s even an accessible/family bathroom. On arrival staff are really friendly and update you with things that are going on on the site ie visiting food trucks. The view from pod was lovely and on a clear night you can see stars for miles. There are loads of local walks if that’s your thing and I would definitely recommend visiting the heights of Abraham, which is only around 15 minutes away. We went on a rainy day and still had a brilliant time! Only a short drive away from supermarkets also Which is handy. Reasonable sized field for kids to play and let off steam. Everyone seemed to stick to the 10:30 quiet time ☺️

Liked: Ernests retreat is a fantastic place for children. The space in the pod is great so lots of space to set up games and colouring if the weather is miserable. There's also lots of grassed areas where children can play. Having a wood fired pizza oven there on select days is a brilliant added bonus. A really family friendly campsite!

Liked: Very easy to book with Pitchup. We have visited this site a few times now and always enjoy our stays here. The pods are clean and just about right for a short stay in the countryside. Our dog seems to enjoy it just as much as we do! The owners are lovely people and always willing to help with ideas for visiting the locality. We'll be back again for sure!

Disliked: Nothing to dislike at all.

Liked: This place is beautiful. The view is simply stunning. It is a small site so very peaceful We stayed in the 5 person Glamping Pod. These things are insulated well - we barely heard any noise outside. Even with the small window open. This does also mean the pod stays very toasty warm - for me this was lovely as I love warmth but my partner found it far too hot so we kept the door open for the evening to cool it down until we turned in for night. The double doors work a treat for cooling it down. The single bunk bed and bed above double fit our children wonderfully. They are 4ft2, 4ft8 and 5ft1. The children slept in sleeping bags we brought ourselves, with room to spare. The double bed fit both myself and partner snuggly but we both slept well. The bed was quite comfortable - however you do need to bring own bedding. (For this we do this anyway as we prefer our own) There is a freezer onsite with a honesty box to purchase icecreams (£1.20 at time of our stay). We did not use but felt this was a wonderful idea. The facilities (showers, toilets, pot wash area) were very well kept. The man who came to check us in came very quickly once we called the number on the check in desk. The man, Peter, was lovely and informative did not miss any information out that we may have needed. Inside the pod there is a kettle, hot drinks sachets provided including biscuits. There is also a small raidiator provided if needed. There are 4 plug sockets in the pod. We were expecting only 2 so this was lovely surprise. I did not check for WiFi. We have enough data we used mobile hot-spot. ID mobile network coverage was great.
