Ernest’s Retreat

Me gustó: Surprisingly warm and spacious. There was an oil heater which i was relieved about in case it was quite cold as we went during Whitsun, but we didn’t even need to use it. I would say its warmer than in my own home without the heating on. Had light switch and electric so could plug in anything we needed. There was a kettle provided with some complementary tea/hot chocolate sachets/biscuits etc which was nice. The french doors meant that during times when it was raining we could still sit and look out while keeping warm and dry! Good view for watching the sun rise in the morning! Water in the toilets and dishwashing area was nice and hot! There is a big freezer in the dishwasher area where you can keep your own labelled food and there are also some ice lollies you can buy by using their honesty box. Toilets were clean and always stocked up with sufficient toilet roll and soap. Washing up area clean. Site overall was clean and tidy. Theres a grassed area where kids can play ball games etc. Great location as near the town with shops and also near to the parade which has plenty of ice cream parlours/sweet shops, fish n chip shops, amusement arcades.

No me gustó: Was given a wifi password but it wasn’t recognised so didn’t have WiFi for any of our time there.
Different food trucks come on some of the days. It was good to have but they do take a very long time to cook everyone’s food. Its quicker to drive into the town and get a takeaway.

Me gustó: Really lovely site, fabulous glamping huts which were well designed and more spacious than expected. Very clean facilities. We were running later than planned and Laura very kindly waited for us. Very friendly family. Fab views. We would definitely stay again.

No me gustó: Dislike is too strong a word but the shower was a tiny bit on the hot side. The two parts to the matresses on the children's beds in the glamping hut could maybe do with some poppers on as they kept slipping off in the night. Neither of these things would stop us staying again though!

Me gustó: Kettle with tea coffee and even hot chocolate!!! Double bed was more comfortable than some hotels and heater kept it perfectly warm. Food vans were a huge bonus and well priced and good quality both days. View is spectacular and location ideal for exploring the peaks.A very friendly welcome and a nice couple of walks directly from the site.
