Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your comments, I was very pleased to read you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you again one day.

A aimé : The sight was beautiful, with lovely views.

N'a pas aimé: The air bed was flat, I pumped it up but woke at midnight on the floor. There was no one to speak to on the site. Thankfully I had taken two spare beds incase I needed them. Also we had adults in the bell tent next door who kept me awake from midnight until 4:30am. They were shouting loudly and were swearing etc.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your review. We blew up the airbed for you after you informed us that it had gone flat, indeed we replaced it with a new one. I am sorry that this happened. Regarding the people next door - this should have been reported to us - we are contactable every day by telephone, we come to site daily and in the village when we are not on site, we were on site Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings running the coffee hut so could have easily spoken to the guests next door - everyone is strictly informed about the quiet policy and I am sorry to hear you experience this - we are a family site, as such have quiet time rules from 11pm until 7am and could have spoken to them for you but on this occasion we were not informed so couldn't assist you. Our rule states that guests will be asked to leave if they are noisy. I see you will visit again and I hope that next time you will find everything less disturbing.

A aimé : Swietnie, Czysto milo, dostepne sniadania .

A aimé : Breakfast and coffee offered in the mornings. Lovely staff and good quality food.

N'a pas aimé: Stayed in a teepee tent and a cushion mattress on a wooden frame on the floor was uncomfortable not very romantic. The wooden bench outside could have done with a lick of paint was old and falling apart.The toilet was at the opposite side of the field

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your review. The bell tent description clearly states air beds and futons, we invite you to bring your own bedding as it is a pre-erected tent. I am sorry that you were uncomfortable on the bed. Thank you for your feedback on the benches, new benches have been re-ordered and we are still waiting for them to arrive. The map on the site shows where the loo and shower facilities are, it's a tiny site under 1 acre so it's not far to walk, & most people love the fact that the loos are not "right on top of them", otherwise it would be a composting loo next to your tent where there is another issue of smell. I hope you visit again, please consider the safari tents next time which have proper beds in them.

A aimé : Wonderful kid-friendly site. Very secure so kids will tend to all group together and play across the site. This is great for grown-up relaxation.

N'a pas aimé: The stocks of firewood etc are not renewed often so people had to bring their own.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your review. I am pleased you enjoyed your stay, we aim to be as rural as possible and I'm glad you found the site safe & relaxed. The stocks of firewood are regularly made, regrettably, the man who supplies this last week had problems with a vehicle which meant we became short of stock very quickly. This has been remedied today, often others grab more than is necessary and infact today have found much surplus around the site. I look forward to welcoming you again.

A aimé : Easy access, great field, lovely location very positive, lovely little morning cafe on a Saturday and Sunday.

N'a pas aimé: The facilities for showering and using the toilet are great but what let this site down for us personally is unless you are up and showered before 9am it’s just a little bit embarrassing. The great little onsite cafe opens at 9am- lovely food and staff. It attracts cyclists and others to come to the site which in itself isn’t a problem it’s just you have to walk through all these people enjoying their breakfasts with your change of clothes and shower stuff to get to the shower block and then share the toilets.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hello thank you for your review. I am pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and will visit again. The cafe area opens at 9am and we've not had any negative feedback in the past about this and I was surprised to read this. Indeed we have planted trees to screen this just to make the cafe area defined from the camping field, I guess it's only really "embarrassing" if you go to the showers in pyjamas/onesies rather than being dressed, so my apologies that you felt uncomfortable. I will look at the seating to see what can be changed. Delighted to see you enjoyed the breakfast. Hope to welcome you back one day.

A aimé : First time at Rural Retreat, nice quiet site in a lovely village. Caroline (the owner) could not have been more helpful, before and on arrival, she was friendly and a very happy person. Had full English at her cafe, spot on with local produce and friendly staff.
