    Nothing to report.

    A lovely warm welcome from Sheila and very enjoyable guided tour of the yurt and the acres that surround it....although it was intermittently rainy and muddy we loved the outdoors here....fish pond and fish feeding, the best play area ever with zip wire, mud kitchen, Wendy house, swings and more...watched the daylight come up with my 6 year old granddaughter chatting by the pond...a very magical experience in nature...

    Our kids were nervous of the nighttime walk to the toilet but that's camping for you. It didn't bother us adults.

    The retreat was quiet and beautiful. Lovely surroundings. Great for kids. We enjoyed exploring. scones on arrival was a very kind welcoming gesture.

    A small thing- A sign/ arrow saying "Yurt" or similar- we weren't 100% we were in the right place!

    What a beautiful yurt! The owners had done a spectacular job of fitting out the yurt with a beautiful furnishings and wonderful fixtures and fittings. The cooking facilities were amazing, with everything you would need to self cater with ease. The owner had provided (homemade?) scones, jam, clotted cream and a pint of milk as a welcome gift and it was a lovely gesture and very appreciated- thank you! There were also board games to play! Communication was brilliant and Brian messaged me immediately after booking to let him know I could contact with any questions. He was lovely on arrival- incredibly welcoming- and didn't bat an eyelid at my children repeatedly blinding him with torches! Outside, the yurt has access to a large deck, BBQ, table set and small fire area and is beautifully set within trees. At night, you could hear owls and wildlife and it was magical. It really did feel like something of a faerie tale hideaway, with a pinch of pixie and whimsical. The outdoor playground built for the owners' grandchildren was amazing! I am in awe of your DIY! What a magical space for your grandchildren and thank you for including this for your guests- my youngest was very sad to leave the play area and my middle was in awe of the zip line! The toilet is a little walk through the woods (not far) and made for a more special wee! We were glad of the torches provided by the owner, but didn't mind a short walk to the loo (not any further than a recent campsite we visited). It was nice to have the luxury of a flushing indoor loo and real shower. Also inside is a large washing space with washing machine, sink etc. The washing/ toilet area is attached to the back of "The Lodge" Building, but accessed through a back door, and fully private (for sole use of the Yurt). I didn't meet anyone on the way to have a wee!

    Outside lights didn't work , which wasn't just aesthetic, but also necessary when returning from loo, as so many little paths through the woods. Also toilet block I had assumed was next to the Yurt but it was actually a few minutes walk through woods , which I wasn't keen on in the middle of the night, when my bladder decides its time again.

    Was a fun camping experience without all the hassle of camping ! Good sized yurt , fully equipped , lovely welcome touch of scones, clotted cream & jam, plus fresh milk in fridge . Plenty of interior lights, plus rechargeable torches for evening trips to the loo. Set in a secluded wood, with a large pond with viewing bench , parking if required, fairy garden area. Lovely touch of a very friendly young cat who is clearly used to being allowed in the Yurt, and miaowed outside the door til we let him in, then happily snuggled up to my daughter !

    The Urt is great. Well-appointed with everything you could need. The location is great. Secluded little sanctuary of peace and tranquillity in its own area of wood. There is plenty of space for the kids to play safely in the woods with a good little play area with a climbing wall and a zip line. The owners provided fresh scones, homemade jam, and cream for us. Within a good distance of local attractions ( car is needed).

    There wasn't anything we'd change.

    The location was absolutely amazing and the hosts had thought of absolutely everything. We were made to feel so welcome, the kids and dog especially, it's an amazing place to escape to.
