“We had a great overnight stay in one of the Oak Yurts. Inside was extremely cozy and warm even before lighting the stove, the facilities are great! Fully kitted out kitchen and plenty of toilets. We all agreed that the beds were some of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in. Thank you for a great stay x”
“This glamping was pure magic. On our 10 day trip this night was by far our favorite! The hosts were so extremely accommodating and very responsive. I would absolutely love to return in the future.”
“My partner, six month-old daughter, and I stayed in Hazel Yurt for two nights as part of a wedding party. The yurt felt very private and was in a beautiful spot. It was lovely to hear the wind, birds, rain etc from outside while being cosy inside.”
