*Disclaimer - I am not a camper - I much prefer hotels!*
We booked 4 glamping domes as a surprise for one of our friends for a weekend away. Beds were comfortable (make sure to bring sleeping bag). The bed can be kept as double or separated into twins. The grounds around the domes are immaculately maintained ... no rubbish anywhere.
FYI
- Welcome pack of logs for first night including firelighters and matches provided (if staying for one night, little point bringing extra logs especially in summer)
- BBQs provided outside with grill but make sure to bring foil trays and utensils
- LED lamps provided for bedside
- Pillows were provided in our domes so you can save space by not bringing one
- No candle holders provided
- Make sure to bring enough torches/lights for night time as we found them very dark without our combined group's torches.
- Shared kitchen was very useful as it rained the whole weekend and we were sadly unable to use the BBQ. Two fridges to keep perishables cool!
- Book Bistro in advance if looking for a meal in restaurant. It fills up very quickly. #
- Early check-in/late check-out can be arranged if you contact Reception well in advance.
- The communal fire pit and BBQ area can be hired out privately, but is quite pricey. I believe £50 each. But if hire both, then you get a deduction.
Only gripes were:
- No sheep skin rugs as shown in photos.
- Wifi pretty unreliable
- Not very secure - just zips up with padlock, and when inside, unable to lock. We were fine though - nothing went missing. But a safe would have been preferred.
- Toilet facilities very far away for middle-of-the-night toilet trips. Really disliked that. It would be better if they had closer festival style toilets.
-They ran out of toilet roll in the loos for awhile but after contacting reception, they refilled it pretty quickly.
But all in all, we had a great time, it was just a shame the weather was so terrible. Oh and if you get a chance, definitely try the archery, it was such wonderful fun. Andy and his team were amazing with our group. Very patient and helpful. We felt like pros by the end of it :) read more
