5/5 Catriona W. 1 year ago on Google
We
stayed
here
this
weekend
for
a
mini
half
term
break
with
our
five
year
old
and
five
month
old
baby.
The
host
was
amazing
and
very
helpful
leading
up
to
and
during
our
stay
-
we
appreciated
how
easy
the
communication
was
given
how
busy
our
lives
can
be
with
the
two
smaller
family
members!
Instructions
for
finding
the
site
were
very
helpful
and
we
arrived
easily.
The
castel
cabin
was
chilly
when
we
arrived
and
we
briefly
worried
it
would
be
too
cold
for
the
baby,
but
the
log
burner
heated
everything
up
in
a
very
short
time
and
then
stayed
warm
until
we
left
two
days
later.
It's
a
fairly
warm
late
October
(down
to
about
13/14
degrees
overnight),
but
we
were
still
impressed
by
this.
The
space
was
great
-
surprisingly
roomy
especially
with
the
turret
table/bed,
and
very
well
appointed.
For
anyone
else
who
isn't
sure,
there
is
a
toaster.
The
outdoor
kitchen
in
the
other
part
of
the
site
has
everything
else
you
might
want
for
cooking
including
a
gas
hob
and
proper
oven
if
you'd
rather
use
those.
The
electric
hob
in
the
cabin
was
great
though.
The
outdoor
space
near
the
castle
was
fab
-
a
large
sail-like
tented
area
for
shade/rain
cover
and
a
big
shared
fire
pit,
plus
the
cabin
and
castle
both
have
their
own
smaller
fire
pit
and
also
a
compost
loo
(great
for
middle
of
the
night
loo
trips).
Shower
facilities
were
great
-
large
and
the
water
was
hot.
There
are
two
loos
and
two
showers
per
block
of
men's
and
women's
facilities,
plus
a
disabled
loo
(which
possibly
had
a
shower
in,
we
didn't
use
this
so
didn't
check)
and
three
outdoor
showers
at
the
end.
I'm
not
sure
if
they
were
heated
as
well
as
we
used
the
indoor
ones,
but
they
looked
very
nice.
The
block
is
under
the
trees
so
it
all
smelt
lovely
and
pine-y,
and
had
nice
views
towards
farmland.
The
swimming
pond
is
really
cool
-
we
thought
from
the
photos
that
it
was
a
pond
that
had
been
artificially
deepened
and
a
jetty
added
but
actually
it's
a
very
cleverly
designed
outdoor
pool
with
a
deep
(2m)
swimming
section
in
the
middle
surrounded
by
little
banks
with
nicely
planted
gravel/rocks.
I
am
not
keen
on
wild
swimming
because
of
the
weeds
etc
but
this
was
weed-free
and
looked
very
pretty.
On
a
hot
day
it
would
be
great!
The
woodland
next
door
was
beautiful
especially
at
this
time
of
year
with
millions
of
toadstools.
We
saw
lots
of
wildlife
including
bats,
birds
of
prey,
and
deer.
All
in
all
a
wonderful
stay
and
a
place
we
hope
to
come
back
to.
We
love
privacy
on
glamping
campsites
and
really
fancy
the
bell
tents
next
summer,
with
their
self
contained
little
glades.
