Tawny cabin (hot tub)
Liked: Chris should be awarded as the best host in camping category and so as his entire family. It was the pleasure to be there, to experience peace and nature outside of busy life. There is everything a family need. The stargazing from the hot tub was amazing, just magical while still listening owls and the fast paced stream. Thanks for making this site, truly needed.

Short-Eared bell tent
Liked: This is the second time I visited with my 2 teenage boys and as at the first time I was amazing. It’s like coming to an oasis or haven from the outside crazy world. Even when approaching the little valley it feels like a place completely different from anything else around. It is absolutely peaceful, the bell tent has ample space for 4 people, is well laid out with the big bed and futons for the kids. There is nearly everything you might need. Lots of lights in the tent, extra blankets, pillows etc. the kitchen has crockery, cutlery, pots and pans. There is a great gas powered shower and the play shed is the go to area at the side with pool table, darts and lots of games. Even though the weather wasn’t that great, we had a wonderful stay. And Chris is always happy to give advice or a helping hand. We will definitely come again. As a side note, please be aware that there is basically no mobile phone reception and definitely no Wi-Fi. A real get away.
Disliked: What could you dislike in a place like this?

Liked: How helpful Chris, the owner was, always on hand to help and nothing seemed to be too much of an issue for him when it came to assisting us through out our whole stay. Off grid location - no phone signal, no electricity - perfect for our children to fully explore everything on offer without a television in sight The site is large enough that you can spend hours exploring but small enough that it isn't overwhelming for total amateurs like myself. Making camps is encouraged, which I absolutely loved! Nothing is off limits for the children and they found a real desire to explore on their own The peace and quiet, the only noises that could really be heard are that of the wildlife or laughter from others enjoying their holiday Fresh ice packs daily, as well as wood Hot tub is emptied and cleaned daily and honestly, for me, this was my favourite thing to do at any time of the day. Rope swings, hammocks, Steve's shack............ all these added little areas that the kids loved
Disliked: The fact its 6 hours away and we cannot visit every weekend

Short-Eared bell tent
Liked: The location was perfect, hidden away in a small nature reserve but yes easy to get to towns and the beaches. The site itself was well run. The tent was great, so was the shower and toilet. The camp fire and kitchen area just what we needed. The tent had lots of space. We will be back!
Disliked: Nothing

Tawny cabin (hot tub)
Liked: Hot tub, how quiet it was, enjoyed listening to the owls and the running stream of an evening. Owner was very helpful. Tawny cabin is stunning, lots of little extras for u such as logs for fire, coal on bbq and tea and coffee. Beds made up, they were really comfortable. Great family time and environment to relax.
Disliked: Nothing. Kids were disappointed at first there was no phone signal however the environment soon won them over
