Greenhillock Camping and Glamping

Μου άρεσε Apart from the one single person tenter on the glamping site with us, very, very quiet.
Very basic, in fact there were more beastie’(s) in the camping toilet than there were on the site.
Will not fault our hostess and partner, they were on the ball, but I’m afraid we went past them, and the site three times to the end of the track and back because of the very small poor single sign pointing to it, having to call the phone number provided before we located our host.

Δεν μου άρεσε I assumed the HOBBITT looked like the HOBBITT because of the name. Not a thing like it apart from the octagonal shed rather than the tents erected nearby.
Definitely would not return to such a place again.
Car park Yong’s away from site and we had to lug four barrow loads up to the HOBBITT before we got in, and back again before we got out.
No disposable area for our chemical toilet we carried ourselves.
Should have been there!

Από τον διαχειριστή: Thank you for your feedback. It is always disappointing to read that someone has not enjoyed their stay with us. I will attempt to address the points you raise here.

I have never had anyone complain the site was too quiet so that is new. I assume the suggestion here is we are not a popular site, far from it. You happened to visit us in the week following the end of the Scottish school holidays. As we are very popular with families it is normal for it to be quiet mid week at this time of year. Some might even say it was peaceful! We will never apologise for our Beasties they are key to our mission of habitat creation and environmental education.

I apologise you were unable to read the reception sign on the way in. I did give comprehensive instructions on finding us whilst you were on the phone and as I previously explained to your daughter we are also pinned on Google maps, which she assured me she would look up in advance.

I don't fully understand the comment you are making re Hobbit Houses. Our three Hobbit Houses are individually themed, come complete with a king size bed, two bunks all with memory foam mattresses and in the case of Sparrowhawk where you stayed, a double sofa bed. They have a fully equipped kitchenettes, log burning stoves, games, books and private outdoor decks. I'm afraid I don't recognise the description of them as sheds or the reference to the neighbouring bell tents which you were not staying in. There are extensive photographs of all our accommodation types and a list of equipment on our website and Pitchup site so it should have been clear what you had booked in advance. In any event, your wife was so delighted with Sparrowhawk when you checked in that she hugged me.

Our glamping accommodation is located in the North Paddock which is 100m from the carpark. It is our oldest and most beautiful meadow and as such we believe it provides the most tranquil setting on the site. Cars are not permitted on the any of our pitches so kids can roam freely, our wildlife is safe and to promote the peaceful atmosphere. We provide wheelbarrows for campers and glampers to move their gear around and make it very clear about this set-up on our website. Additionally, nearly everything you need for a stay in the Hobbit Houses is provided and you joked with me during check-in that you had overpacked and could probably leave most of it in the car.

Regarding your chemical toilet, no we DO NOT provide facilities for disposing of waste from these. Quite frankly they are an environmental disaster. Partially for this reason we also do not accept caravans and motorhomes at Greenhillock. Our waste management system has been carefully thought out and involves the natural biodegrading of waste such that no chemicals are discharged to the environment. This is a core principle of our site and one we are very open about when describing ourselves as first and foremost an eco campsite. The Glamper's Rest composting toilet is located 5m from Sparrowhawk Hobbit House.

I think the most important point I would make here is that all the information you need to make an informed choice about staying at Greenhillock is presented on our website www.greenglamping.co.uk. Eco conscious camping and glamping, conservation and habitat creation is not for everyone. However it is what we do, proudly, here and we welcome anyone who wishes to share that mission.

Regards 'on the ball' team, Kate & Stig

Μου άρεσε Loved the serenity of the campsite and that you are allowed a campfire at your tent. Sitting round a fire adds so much to the experience

Μου άρεσε Loved this site. Very close to main roads makes it easy to get to but still so peaceful. Lots of wild life around and great to see so many kids running around having fun. Great hosts too, I recommend Saturday night pizzas!

Μου άρεσε My girlfriend and I spent two great nights at Greenhillock. What a gem of a place. Such a friendly and completely relaxed atmosphere. The location is tranquil. Our tent was pitched in a beautiful wild flower meadow. Amazing woodland surrounds the site. The design is very clever, clearly the product of years of thoughtful decision making. It all comes together to create the best campsite that we have ever stayed at. And we have stayed at many.

Μου άρεσε Beautiful eco friendly site. Everything was thought through from the kids art shack and communal cooking areas to the tooth brushing stations and well maintained eco loos and showers.

We loved letting our two feral under 3s loose in nature.
