Your comments really sum up what we offer here - so thank you.
Our caravan rental was a bit of an experiment and our aim was to offer 'the best bits of off grid camping in beautiful countryside without the hassle of setting up a tent' and it has proved to be really popular this year.
Best wishes and we hope that you visit again soon.

We are sorry about your tent but we are pleased that David could help. He spent his working life building cars and repairing boats so tents are a new challenge for him:)
