Best experience

I honestly can’t highly recommend this place enough. Me and my partner broke down on the way hear and thought we wouldn’t make it to our booking. The staff were amazing. When we arrived late the staff were so friendly. The glamping pods are just what you need very spacious and look out onto the lake. So beautiful in a morning.

Fabulous One Night Break with a difference

We were bought a one night Glamping. It was fab. So clean, everything you need for a night away. And so very peaceful. The facilities offered were amazing, the pool, bar area. Breakfast great at the Wildboar Cafe. Our only regret is that we didn’t book 2 nights. We will return.
