Our tents are 'off grid' meaning they have no mains power supply and all lighting is by storm lanterns, solar lights, candles and torches - a fantastic way to create a memorable experience for the children and a truly romantic atmosphere for the adults once the children are safely tucked up in bed! Although the tents are off grid, there are power points provided in our Reception building a short distance away to charge mobile telephones and plug in the all important hair dryers and straighteners.... We also provide a large American style fridge/freezer within Reception for your perishable goods. There is a well stocked information room on site, a therapy room for sports, relaxation and aromatherapy massages and additional Bed and Breakfast accommodation is available nearby for extra guests. Children (and one well behaved dog per tent by prior arrangement) are welcome and the tents are open all year round. With horses, sheep and cattle surrounding the tents field, dogs must be kept on leads at all times. The tents are located in a spacious grass field and there is plenty of space for children to run around. For their own safety we ask that parents do not allow their children to run in and out of the tents and that they ensure that they stay within the tents field whilst playing. If they need to leave the tents field for any reason they must at all times be accompanied by an adult.
