Bell tent (no pets)
Liked: Stayed for one night with 2 children. First thing we noticed was the lovely surroundings and the tents placed a well-kept idyllic garden/ woodland setting with plenty of space and privacy.
Was able to park very close to the site and was met by the welcoming and helpful host who showed us around.
The tent itself had plenty of room for all 4 of us and we'll decorated. The bed was comfy and there were plenty of extra blankets available for cooler weather. At night you can light it up with fairylights and there's also BBQ and firepit available for cozy family evening.
We were surprised a games room was available with fussball table and pool table. And nearby there was a kitchen and bar if you need any food storage or other appliances for cooking/ washing.
Bathroom/ shower area very clean and pretty.
Overall we had a fantastic cozy getaway with the family for day and we would definitely come back

Fieldfare shepherd's hut
Liked: Brakehill farm lodge is in a beautiful location and the property itself is extremely well kept. The family that runs the property prioritizes customer experience over everything and it is apparent from the quality of service. The toilets, kitchen, bar and games area are very well equipped. Heating and lighting in the stay is good and hot water is available for showers. Parking is available just beside the accommodation.
I highly recommend visiting. Thanks Alex and clare

Orchard powered grass tent campsite
Liked: We absolutely loved this site. We stayed on the tent pitches. There was one other family tent pitch on the bank holiday weekend with the shepherd huts and tipi’s set up in separate fields. It felt like we had the place to ourselves with loads of room for the kids to fun around and play hide and seek amongst the trees.
It was windy during our stay but there was a line of trees braking the wind which we hardly noticed. We had one rainy day so we spent that morning in the games room which the kids (3 & 6) loved.
You have everything you need with a kettle, washing up facilities, fridges and charging points. 2 toilets and 2 showers which were kept clean and were always free.
It’s a tranquil and peaceful site based on a quiet farm with the owners available should you need anything. As other reviewers have said the pizzas on Saturday night were fantastic, just make sure you put your order in before. We’ll definitely be back

Bell tent (no pets)
Liked: We loved staying here for 2 nights with our kids (5, 3 and 0).
Facilities are great with toilets, showers, little kitchen area with fridge, kettle, hot running water.
The rustic barn is also used for weddings and the whole area had a lovely feel to it. It was beautiful!
Glamping tents were very clean and came with kettle, mugs, some plates, currently, cooking utensils etc. They also provided towels, bedding for the double bed and sleeping bags and blankets for the blow ups.
Homemade woodfired pizzas were available at an extra cost which were delicious.
We loved it and would definitely return. Thanks for a great stay! ✨

Orchard powered grass tent campsite
Liked: Loved the welcoming from Alex & Clare within the beautiful grounds surrounded by Poplar trees. Very peaceful setting, in the middle of nowhere, horses grazing, ducks wandering around the site, one is at true bliss. We camped for the two nights and the facilities there are very good. Homemade pizzas prepped and cooked in front of us alfresco on the second night from the hosts themselves was a great experience, my son quoted "that was the best pizza I have ever had!". Would recommend to all.

Bell tent (no pets)
Liked: Quiet, remote and relaxing location, small number of bell tents onsite. Good set up for each tent with everything needed to enjoy a relaxed stay.
Disliked: Very little to dislike in reality, tents maybe a little close to each other to allow better privacy, but a minor point.
