Squirrel camping pod
Liked: The location was beautiful, with lots to explore nearby.
The toilets and showers were clean and close.
There was a semi outdoor kitchen.
The pod was lovely inside.
They kindly let me pitch my tent too.
Disliked: There was a small gap in the pod which the wind whistled through, quite loudly!

From the manager: Thank you for leaving a review.

Fox Den with hammocks cabin
Liked: Loved the fact the site was so peaceful
Booked the fox one that had 2 hammocks it was just bliss the fire pit was set up ready for us
Also loved the fact we were the only ones on the site! Until later on but that’s fine. I love places where you’re unbothered
Disliked: The was a caterpillar in one of the beds wriggling around which was gross. So I’m
Hoping the sheets were clean!
Bed was really uncomfortable but wasn’t asleep for long as was up most of the night anyway sat by the fire pit

From the manager: Thank you for leaving a review- And an answer to your question, yes the sheets were 1000% clean..... and Caterpillar's only like clean sheet's :)
If you read the Description the Bed"s are Camp Bed's to fit in with the Camping experience ... But we apologise for your uncomfortable night, feedback is always welcome when it comes to comfort and we will be changing them to normal bed"s this week.
We will take your comments onboard like we do with any other review about people getting grossed out with the Bugs, Spiders, Birds and all The Wildlife that"s around the Camp the only advice I can give is- Find a Hotel not a Camp site.
We are not in the middle of the City, We are VERY rural, you will see wildlife, hear Sheep, Cow"s and Foxe's, hear the Bird's in the Tree's singing their morning chorus and see plenty of Bugs, also If you sit by a fire all night then the bugs sometimes hitch a ride on your clothes and find themselves in your Cabin.

Cwt Cariad shepherd's hut (deluxe)
Liked: Cozy hut with amazing views. Quiet site but not too far to local amenities. Clean, comfortable & quiet.
Disliked: The last section of road to the site was awful to drive in a non 4x4 though very authentic.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
The last 100 meters of road is a single farm track but has now been re surfaced. No need for a 4x4 to get to the Camp.

Rabbit shepherd's hut
Liked: Only option for the review is young, middle age and mature! I'm going for young but mid 30's... Beautiful setting, really convenient location. Showers were amazing, hot and powerful. Camp kitchen had all the things you need to cook simple dinner. We stayed in the rabbit cabin mid October. The cabin is so well insulated and lovely. We were the only people staying so hard to judge what it would be like if full but really enjoyed our stay
Disliked: Cabin would benefit from a little porch so there was some shelter to sit outside if it was raining. Would be really handy if the kitchen had some stock items like salt and pepper sachets.

Squirrel camping pod
Liked: Best camp there is. List:-
Manager:- I liked how I paid for Fox den (65 quid) and later realized it does not have duvets included in it ( I did not read the description.I called the camp manager Vicky and she sorted out the squirrel pod for me which costs 70 quid. Not only did she provide me with duvets but also did not charge me the extra 5 quid.
Services:- There was hot water in shower , toilet and kitchen. The kitchen has all the utensils you will ever need, stove to do your cooking as well and soap to do your washing. There was a separate tap for drinking water as well.
Disliked: None of the things listed here are the issues with campsite or manager but the weather and the timing.
I came during winter (4 degrees) and nevertheless the pod was cold too the duvet kept me warm the catch being "don't get out of it"
I came late ( cancelled train) and had to leave early due to a planned trip so I couldn't take pictures as both the times it was extremely dark.
