I hate to give a negative review, I realise how hard things are, but I have to be honest. I was really disappointed with the glamping set up, everything looked tired and worn out and given the cost of £150 per night (including hot tub) it really wasn’t good enough. The shower and toilet facilities were also not really up to scratch, no washing basin to wash hands in after using the toilet.
A little more care and thought with the facilities could have made the experience seem like good value for money, but I’m afraid that as it was we cannot recommend it.
Lugging our gear down from the car park to the tent was also a pain, would have made a big difference to have a trolley or something similar to help carry our things to and from the car.

Thank you for your feedback, we always like to listen to our glampers & their thoughts.
I think your disappointment with the glamping set up is due to your selection of the glamping site. We are not a site where you can drive right up to the tent or pod, walk down to a concrete path on to a raised decking into the pod.
We keep the cars in the Car Park, one for safety reason and secondly we don't want someone revving their car up at 2am next to your tent. No!!
So there is a short walk to get to your tent, across the wooden bridge and lovely stream into a woodland clearing, with a huge oak tree. This whole area is yours to enjoy with no adjacent tents!! Don't forget the Canadian Spa Jacuzzi, fire pit in the evening (free firewood every night!) Comfortable double bed, two single futon beds, electricity into the tent and your own field kitchen, quite reasonable for £149 per night.
OK - the toilet and shower wooden building is tired, they will be replaced this winter ready for next year. The actual toilet & shower are kept clean and work very well. The toilet is a composting toilet but is an 'actual' proper toilet from a yacht!! The gas powered shower provides plentiful hot water.
With regard to the 3 mins walk from the tent to the car park my wife and 10 year old daughter helped carry your bags! The trolley is a nice idea but in reality doesn't work, more likely to tip over.
We actually provide a wheel barrow for you to use!! but you ignored it.
Anyway I always urge people to do the proper research - if you are after an immaculate set up, concrete paths, loads of decking we are not your site. If you wanted a peaceful, natural site, set amougst a back drop of woods, stream and amazing views with a great tent set up on grass!! - we are here. Well worth checking other people's reviews as to there opinions!! Yes next year will have a sparkling new toilet & shower block!!
