Bell tent
Liked: The setting was beautiful, the bell tent was more than spacious enough for the 3 if us, but could easily have had 5 in there. Bbq and outdoor gas hob were perfect for our needs with both a lovely seating area for us and a larger outdoor communal space available. All cutlery, crockery, pans, sharp knives etc was provided and even a small cool box with ice blocks (refreezable in the communal fridge freezer). Showers were lovely and warm with provided soap, shampoo and conditioner. We had our own composting loo "hut" which was cute. Hosts, Simon and Sarah were super friendly and even left us with scones one morning which was a lovely touch. Kids also took a liking to the affectionate Oreo (one of their outdoor cats). A thoroughly enjoyable week was had with lovely walks and super surf and if you're lucky you may see a barn owl! Would certainly look to go back.
Disliked: Phone reception is dreadful (I loved being "off grid" but the kids didn't like having to wait to get out the valley for their "snaps"). I saw this as a positive to get them off their phones so didn't even ask about wifi!
