Long-eared geodesic dome
Liked: Amazing site and hosts. Everything had been so carefully thought of making the stay brilliant and so easy. We stayed in the dome and it was warm, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The outdoor kitchen had everything we needed. The wood-fired hot tub was incredible - we used it every evening while listening to a cacophony of owls! The site itself was stunning - hidden away so you can only hear the birds and the stream and with hidden places for the kids to explore. We loved the small shop! We’re planning our next visit there and can’t wait to go back.
Disliked: Nothing!

Barn Owl cabin (hot tub)
Liked: It was exactly what we wanted. For one, no phone service so the teenager was forced to socialise lol, but also ment we felt fully away from it all. The hut was the perfect size for four, and lovely and warm on a rainy February. Chris had already lit the fire for the hot tube when we arrived and it was the perfect temperature. The kitchen had all you could need to cook and was covered enough to keep the rain out. The bathroom was very clean.

Barn Owl cabin (hot tub)
Liked: We had an absolutely wonderful time! Would highly recommend. Chris and the team were brilliant and very accommodating.
When we arrived, Chris met us in the car park. He drove our luggage down to the hut on his quad bike to save us carrying it (the carpark is a 5-10 min walk from the accommodation).
The accommodation was amazing! The hut was clean and had all of your essentials for a cosy night away from reality. There were board games available to play, there was a private hot tub on the decking and if that's not enough the quiet, secluded location made stargazing feel extra special. There were Plenty of blankets and hot water bottles available. We used them late evening to sit outside and watch the stars. Our 9 year old loved spotting the shooting stars!
When we arrived Chris had already started the fires for us so the cabin was warm and the hot tub was ready to go! There is plenty of wood included to keep things going but more available on site to purchase.
We had burgers for tea in the evening and used the gas grill but there is also a bbq available to use. There are all of your basic kitchen essentials provided. Pans, plates, cutlery, cups and glasses. There is also a kettle.
On site there's an entertainment room with a piano, pool table, dart board, books and games.
The honesty hut had a range of essentials and was a 2 minute walk. We used this to top up on the wood several times so this was super convenient!
There is no electricity, internet or phone signal which made a lovely change and really did give us a break from the every stresses of normal life.
Really would highly recommend! We will 100% be returning.

Tawny cabin (hot tub)
Liked: Unbelievable find, excellent location accommodation and host. The host went put of his way to meet us when we arrived and took all of our luggage down to the site to save us the walk. Very friendly and encouraged the kids to have fun and explore. The site is perfect for that getaway and enabled us to just relax. All the small details that have gone into this site make it a very special place.
Disliked: Nothing

Short-Eared bell tent
Liked: Chris was a fantastic host, very welcoming and took all our bags down to the bell tent, it was fabulous, well stocked, clean and such a beautiful place. Lovely to have time off grid without TV or phones. Games room was full of stuff to do. Recommend building dens with the kids, we had great fun in the dark hunting for random sticks. The fire pit was a lovely ending to our night with wood and fire lighters already there. Listening to the owls and running stream, even the rain didn't spoil it. The compostable toilet and hot shower were clean and tidy. Beds comfortable, everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. We had a brilliant stay, wish it could have been longer. Thank you for a lovely night's stay.
