    The fridge could have been a bit bigger for so many sharing it. Wished we had our own washing up area...the other people on the site were brushing their teeth in the shared sink we were to wash the dishes in. Traffic was a little noisy in the night.

    Loved the wildlife, the clean and stylish facilities that we didn't have to share! When we requested more wood for the fire it came swiftly. The fairy lights were lovely as were the flowers left in our bathroom.

    People who are sensitive with noise, I suggest to pick up ear plugs for better sleep. We had strong winds and heavy rain every night witch made a big noise in a tent and there was crying baby in a neighbour tent.

    Staf was very friendly. I liked the area up on the hill. Every tent has a separate kitchen for basic cooking and separate shower.

    Need proper lighting in the kitchen area & bathroom as it can be dangerous during the night.

    A lovely setting, quiet & secluded. Bar the first night we had the site to ourselves for the trip. Our 5 year old befriended a cat & that added to a memorable trip. Easy reach of many attractions/activities.

    This is a beautiful clamping place! Gorgeous location, beautiful views, nice and quiet. The host Sian was very helpful and welcoming! This is the perfect place for a peaceful break. The shower was hot and powerful and it was great to have our own private bathroom. The kitchen nice and clean. We will definitely come back!

    There was nothing we didn’t like.

    Really lovely camping site with thoughtful extra touches- blankets to keep warm, all the utensils you might need for cooking on the camping stove, marshmallows for roasting on the fire, jars of flowers decorating the toilets and communal washing up area. The tell tents were really cosy and spacious with plenty of room for us and our dog. We arrived sceptical that glamping showers will be substantial enough for a nice shower to feel fresh in the morning but they were some of the nicest showers we’ve used away from home! Sian was brilliant and really helpful, her welcome message included their website which was really clear about what we did and didn’t need to bring for our stay. We messaged asking where she’d recommend for dinner on the night we arrived and weren’t disappointed by her choice at all. Lovely quiet site for a perfect get away. It was raining on the day we arrived but it certainly didn’t dampen our stay. Would recommend to anyone.

    Nothing

    We were really impressed with the glamping tents. They were so comfortable, and the little kitchen attached to each one was well equipped. The site was lovely and we had great comms from Sian before we arrived. We have all been glamping before and ended up feeling that things were not quite as we would have liked, but this was spot on. Everything was clean and in good order

    Would benefit from more hooks in the bathroom so some where to hang clothes while using the shower, and a bigger surface to but toiletries.

    The owner Sian was friendly and welcoming. The view was lovely from our tent. The site was easy to find and an easy drive to the beach. There was a nice walk through the fields around the site. The bed was very comfy, the tent was decorated really nicely. As was the kitchen and shower room. The whole site was lovely and clean.The vases of flowers dotted around was a lovely touch. The swings in the trees were fun. The hill from the car to the tent was a good work out.

    The private fridge could be a little cooler. Did not see where you could set it colder, and dit not bother asking Sian about it, which should tell you that it was not exactly a major issue.

    Very comfortable sleeping. Great location and view. Sian was very friendly and welcoming and happy to help if you needed anything. The deluxe bell tent definitely had more privacy than the other tents, but it is a bit farther away from the communal kitchen sink and it's toilet is further from the tent than the others, but I preferred it above the other tents. The private kitchenette with bar fridge and the essentials to cook with was just what you needed. We will defiantly return.

    Not sure why the negative comes up first when you post. Please read all of my review as this is a minor thing that I just feel is worth mentioning. We had a great stay here and I would highly recommend it. Each tent has its own bathroom. This is in a block of three. We had the middle bathroom (Tent number 4, which is for adults only, has a separate private bathroom next to their tent)...the bathroom was lovely and I have no complaints other than the door is a wooden shed type door which has some gaps in. They aren't massive gaps, but I could see out of them, so I'm sure if someone was looking, they'd be able to see in. This did make me feel a bit uncomfortable once more campers started arriving as I didn't feel like it was private enough for my liking. I could see when someone walked past to go to their bathroom as I was about to get out of the shower. It's not a complaint as such, like I said the bathroom is very high standard for a camping facility, and it wouldn't put me off visiting again. It's just an observation that could easily be adjusted by adding a bit of extra wood to make it more private. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling a bit uneasy about strangers potentially seeing me in the buff 😆 or maybe not, each to their own.

    Had an absolutely lovely weekend with my husband and 8 year old son. Booked very last minute and we were very happy with our choice. This place has everything you need if you like camping but with some extra luxuries. Personal bathroom for your tent and private mini kitchen. There is a shared fridge freezer and wash-up area for your dishes. Proper double bed and a camping bed for the little one. Private decking with a picnic table and a firepit, which could also be used as a barbecue. They provided some wood and firelighters. They did provide toilet roll, but it wasn't there when we first arrived, so take some with you just in case, or I'm sure if you had none and asked, they would get it for you. The family who own it are very friendly. All plates, cups, pans, utensils, kettle are provided. Only things you really need to take are your clothing, some towels, food, and toiletries. This site comprises of 4 bell tents in an elevated area away from the main campsite. This place is great for families and couples alike. Would love the book all 4 tents and come back with friends. But I would equally come back as a family. My son has done nothing but ask if we can come again. Would definitely recommend it 1000%.

    The spot is beautiful. The bell tent is super well set up with your own private bathroom and kitchen. We made a nice fire in the evening and had our meal outside. The host is super nice and put out some beautiful fresh cut flower in vases in our bathroom and the communal kitchen washing area.

    Our bed which was a double was fantastic, the kids didnt sleep so well on the camp beds. They are teenagers so maybe a full single bed would have been more comfortable.

    Amazing place, everything catered for. For a taste of the outdoors with the little extras that we all need - perfect :) Would definitely return.

    If anyone wants to visit a Fairy Land can book immediately. As I am not a big fan of camping, this place Will actually give you the best experience ever into glamping. I wish we could stay longer than a weekend.

    1st time glamping for us and we loved it! Sian the host was super nice. The glamping tent was spacious and nice, the bed a bit soft but very comfortable and cozy on a colder nights. The kitchenette and own proper bathroom was also great. Everything you needed was provided. Except WiFi and we had no signal whatsoever for 2 days which was a great break from the Internet really 😂👍

    Long way around the tent for the toilet, set of stairs to the left of the decking would be awesome. No light that I could see in the kitchen area? No way to turn on the lights set into the decking. Could have just been me though!

    Location is great. Setup is awesome. Provided equipment is more than enough. Love the fact you’re just left to it.
