Really enjoyed our time at the tent. Location was lovely with the lake. Accommodation excellent, beds v comfy and our child loved the treehouse bed! Access to the playground after-hours was an unexpected and much appreciated bonus. We recommend wellies due to there being lots of bird poo surrounding the tent. Having the hot tub lit on arrival was brilliant, as was the complementary afternoon tea. Thank you. A warning about the masses of animal and bird poo surrounding the tent would have been appreciated - wellies were essential. Instructions for the hot tub said to drain the water after every use. When we asked, we were told this was not necessary (despite it being in the information book) so the second hot tub was in somewhat scummy water. (We also couldn’t get the water much hotter than 32 degrees but had followed the instructions so don’t know what we did wrong). Didn’t think the accommodation was perfectly clean - lots of cobwebs, esp on terrace where you hang your swimwear. Would also have appreciated some hooks nearer the hot tub to hang towels :)

It was a lovely family break, great hot tub. Little chilly in the evening so just wrapped up when you're going to bed. Cleanliness of the pods

We were welcomed as soon as we arrived and they were thorough in giving us all the information we needed to have a brilliant stay! The facilities in the tent were excellent. We didn't find anything that could have been improved! All the kitchen things /bedding/towels we needed were there.
