Normally,
my
school
friends
(
all
hitting
40
now)
meet
up
annually
for
a
glamp,
this
year
for
the
first
time
we
decided
to
stay
at
home
for
the
glamp
(on
the
island)
with
the
group
getting
bigger
each
year.
This
year
it
was
38
people
from
all
over
the
uk
travelling
to
garlic
farm
yurts
(
mine
was
a
8
minutes
drive
luckily)
got
there
and
still
can't
believe
I
lived
on
the
island
all
my
life
and
never
been
here.
Felt
like
a
different
country,
beautiful
setting.
Facilities
are
on
point!
Yurts
are
lovely
with
good
ovens,
tea
making
facilities,
showers,
double
bed
and
single
beds
up
stairs
holding
up
to
5
or
6
people
in
total,
suspended
egg
chairs,
clean
and
tidy
with
treats
such
as
garlic
farm
chutneys,
pickles,
fig
dressing,
IOW
milk
and
a
welcome
booklet
to
flick
through.
Tennis
court,
football
pitch,
games
room
with
pool
table,
fooseball,
air
hock
and
table
tennis.
A
separate
laundry
room
and
beautiful
walks
all
around
the
glamping
site.
With
the
garlic
farm
restaurant
where
you
can
hear
the
live
music
like
we
did
today,
all
very
hungover,
It
was
absolutely
lush.
The
hot
tubs
x2
fired
with
bubbles,
logs
burners
in
each
yurt
with
a
fire
put
outside
each
one
and
herbs
in
the
yurt
name
boxes
(
helpful
for
drinks
and
cooking!)...then
theres
the
main
firepit/bar/kitchen/bbq
communal
area.
They've
made
a
bar
with
this
beautiful
slab
of
rescued
isle
of
wight
oak,
which
was
the
perfect
size
for
the
38
bottles
of
gin
and
mixers
we
had
bought
for
the
weekend.
Enough
fridges
and
freezers
to
hold
all
our
food,
ice,
drinks
etc.
A
good
BBQ
is
next
to
kitchen
which
is
bridged
by
a
firepit
chimney
surrounded
by
these
3
people
homemade-benches
with
a
pizza
oven
near
the
entrance..we
later
set
up
our
music
in
this
area
where
it
could
easily
fit
all
38
of
us
either
dancing,
socialising,
warming
up
at
the
fire
pit
or
drinking
at
the
oak
bar...for
a
big
group
like
ours
it
really
was
spot
on.
The
first
night,
2
caterers
cooked
all
of
us
a
beef
bourguignon,
and
as
a
chef
who
worked
in
France
and
made
it
every
week
for
4
years,
it
was
traditional
and
spot
on!
It
came
accompanied
by
Tenderstem
broccoli
and
sautéed
new
spuds-
stuff
mushroom
veggy
option.
Later
on,
one
of
the
caterers
Ed
and
host
Hugo
joined
us
for
some
gin
and
a
dance!
On
the
Sunday,
Anna
the
other
caterer
and
Mel
(
hugos
wife)
joined
us
for
a
wine
as
we
chatted
about
our
weekend,
really
funny
accommodating
hosts!
I
honestly
could
go
on
about
the
little
things
that
you
pick
up
on
and
compared
to
anywhere
i
have
been,
this
has
been
a
far
superior
venue
of
its
type.
Oh,
the
dog
Ruthie,
the
chickens,
an
array
of
birds,
the
wild
rabbits,
and
i
think
a
peacock?
Also
stars
of
the
show!
Definitely
a
5
star
experience
and
so
proud
to
have
something
like
this
representing
the
Isle
of
wight.
Well
done
garlic
garm
yurts!
