Camping cabin
Liked: Everything! The site is in a great location with incredible views, and everything is clean and tidy. The cabin itself is immaculate and has lots of lovely features like lighting and a heater and kettle. The pizza truck on Saturday night was excellent, and saved us cooking. The site owners really go above and beyond to provide extras that make a difference like a freezer (with honesty box for ice creams), pot wash area, a car-free site, suggested walks and days out, and WiFi.

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 ☺️

Glamper camping pod
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.
