Generously furnished, you’ll find a cosy log burning cooker, private bathroom and WC, and well-furnished bedrooms. The tents even include free WiFi and electricity so you can make your Instagram followers suitably envious!
You’ll find plenty of outdoor space for the kids – whether large or small! – to play on, and decking to enjoy the invigorating outdoor air, equipped with a coffee…or a glass of wine. There’s a games compendium to keep everyone entertained well into the evenings, and oh – why not select a tent with its very own wood-fired hot tub for that extra touch of luxury?
If you prefer a more authentic woodland living space, the wood cabins are just the ticket! Fully insulated to keep you toasty whatever the weather, each cabin sleeps up to 8 people on a double bed, one twin and two bunk beds – ideal for a family-sized group adventure!
