rural glamping escape

comfortable duvet electric blanket self service

the bell tent included two double beds with comfortable duvets. electric blankets! we also appreciated the available firepit. breakfast was self-service, and included boiled eggs plus freshly baked muffins, along with coffee. it was tremendous.

i found the single track access road almost inaccessible because of potholes! there was nowhere to pass other cars. the gravel path to the pods only had one light at night. i also saw some foliage that could be cut back.

Dining

the breakfast barn operated on a 24-hour basis, so that was really fantastic! the waffles, jams, butter, cereals, fresh eggs and other breakfast items were wonderful, with a range of choices. there was no cooker, but an egg boiler, a microwave, an airfryer and a toaster were present.

comfy duvets electric blankets special evenings fresh muffins

I loved the bell tent. It had comfy duvets and electric blankets (such a treat!). the firepit made the evenings really special. self-service breakfast included boiled eggs and freshly baked muffins. coffee was tremendous, and i appreciated this greatly.

the single-track access road had some significant potholes. this made entering and leaving a little tricky.

The staff provided an fantastic welcome. the rooms were lovely. I particularly enjoyed the bed. the access road is narrow. but patience is key, it's fine.

quiet location electric mattress single shower uncut grass

the location was very quiet. a lovely pub served great food in the village. it was a ten minute walk to the pheasant inn. i loved the electric mattress and fridge to keep the beers cool.

only one shower served possibly twenty plus people on site. this was not really sufficient. grounds around the tent were not kept well. grass needed desperately cutting.
