Liked The yurt was very comfortable, with a large bed. However the futons for the children weren't particularly comfy for them. The two yurts are situation in a very quiet area, there is a barn for weddings up the road but the music didn't disturb our stay. The toilets and showers are communal, which wasn't an issue for us as we were the only ones there. I would recommend staying in Hattie over Olive, due to the path layout - Hattie is tucked away in the corner but Olive will have foot traffic of only a few meters away from the yurt from the other visitors using the communal toilet or kitchen. Also it would be good for parking to be provided next to Hattie to save walking across the field and right past Olive yurt with all of your things.

Disliked On site are three Shepherd huts and if these do not have toilets, then a gap should be put in the fence near the toilets to stop all the guests walking past Olive to get to the toilets. I do think the fence gaps and paths should be laid out differently for the guests of Olive, i wouldn't want all other guests constantly walking 2 meters near my Yurt. We only saw the owner once on the day we arrived, which wasn't an issue but it would have been nice to be given information on how to purchase more wood on site as we had to go to B&Q instead. Also the wood provided in our purchased basket on arrival was not good quality and very dry, so it smoked a lot and produced a lot of embers. No additional stove wood was provided for the indoor stove, only enough for our first night and again we had to go buy more from B&Q. I also don't feel that the BBQ and firepit should be charged as an added extra and should be included in the price.

From the manager: Thank you Lianne, for your comments and for choosing to stay at Godwick in one of our stargazer bell tents and your 8 star review. Just a couple of points: The shepherd's huts are ensuite, so do not need to use the loos and the shower facilities, which are just for the Bell Tent users. So the only foot traffic past the Olive is the guests staying in the Hattie, and as we only have two tents it is quite minimal. Secondly, we do send all guests an email with a Touchstay guide, that can be accessed online and explains what is available to buy onsite, when their balance is paid. Unfortunately, the system didn't trigger this email in this instance, because we agreed a different arrangement on payment of the balance. Something for us to be aware of in future, so apologies we didn't spot this before. In terms of the layout and parking, we thought it was a better idea for the parking to be kept outside the Bell Tent area, and for guests to walk the short way to their tents and provided wheelbarrows for transporting goods. You found the perfect workaround by parking opposite your tent on the track and unloading your gear and then parking your car out of the way. Overall, I hope you enjoyed your stay and thank you for staying with us. Warm regards, James
