    Absolutely nothing.

    The cabin is very comfortable, beautifully designed and furnished, and very well equipped. The host, Claire, could not have been more helpful, and the sustainability ethos and practice of the site are exemplary. It was also wonderful to be able to see both sunrise and sunset from the cabin! And, while in the peace and quiet of the Cambridgeshire countryside, it was only a five minutes drive to beautiful Ely.

    We stayed for two nights and have had the best experience you could ever ask for from a getaway. We had all the utensils and equipment we need at the cabin and the wood burner logs we provided to us by Mad Hatters. It was a very quiet and pleasant place that we needed and had its own private porch which gave us our own space. We also liked the hospitality of the staff and how easy it was to communicate with them when we needed something.

    It was December and there had been a lot of rain, but the path to the cabin was very wet and muddy. Fortunately we had our walking boots. This was truly our only criticism. A more all weather path would have been better.

    Fabulous. Even better than the pictures. We found it cosy even in December and we had every thing we needed.Lots of thought has clearly gone into this from the themed decor to the electric blanket A real fairytale hideaway for two. Great area to visit. We enjoyed historic Ely and WWT welney marshes. It was great returning to our comfy cabin after a day exploring to sit and watch the sun setting behind the cathedral. Many wonderful memories. Thank you.

    Being new to camping/glamping, the separate toilet block, but that is more we are not used to that aspect.

    For me and the kids it was an adventure which we all enjoyed. Facilities for showering and toilets where very good.

    There are no shops or supermarkets nearby. So we need to plan well before reaching there. If possible they can increase the time of stay, because it's nice to stay there.

    I liked the house, it was beautifully arranged. Very calm and quiet place, no outside disturbance. Good customer service, clean and tidy. We can enjoy a day with the beauty of nature. If a person loves village style stays than urban area they can definitely visit there.

    The cabin has a lovely wood burner but unfortunately we were not provided with enough kindling to keep it burning for the entire weekend. There were plenty of logs but without kindling it was impossible to light the fire. It was December and below freezing when we stayed and this made the cabin unbearably cold. We did ask the host for some more kindling but we were ignored, which resulted in a very cold night for us. The next day when we explained again about the lack of kindling and how cold it was, we were not met with the apology that we expected, instead we were told that there was enough kindling.

    Beautiful cabin with lovely finishing touches. Good kitchen facilities. Great location, close to Ely and Cambridge.

    Mattress wasn't comfy. It's a campsite, so you share your accommodation with a variety of bugs.

    It felt very unorganised, we ended up having to go back out for little things, for example, you advertise a bbq to use, but have no means of lighting this bbq, so we had to go back out to get coal. Also we paid on booking.com, but then had to pay another £60 as we brought dogs, but this wasnt mentioned until the middle of our stay.

    Very nice place, very secluded, clean, and good facilities
