Kevin and the TEAM COULDNT OF BEEN MORE FAB! What an amazing find we are looking forward to coming to see you all again very soon. Thanks for having us and making us feel so at home. Kr Mary, Nick and Dave

Host met us onsite.

The chalet is huge and has everything you need. Its great for dogs, and our dog made friends with 4 others who live on the site. The site itself is difficult to describe, but here goes there are poly tunnels with people growing their own veg, fruit trees and lots of small wooden structures which kids would spend hours exploring given half a chance. A few people live on site in a mixture of chalets, caravans, and occasional tents, there are communal spaces to sit and make/have a coffee or chat. It is a very friendly place. The only downside is the extremely bumpy road to get on site, its a bone shaker but other than that it was great.

Overall, we had a really fun stay once we settled in. The accommodation itself was spacious and perfectly functional, with everything we needed for the night, and the owner, Kevin, was friendly and welcoming.

That said, the property could definitely do with a deep clean and a bit of TLC. The furniture and flooring appear old and worn. It’s tucked away on a unique setting, although the chalet itself didn’t feel quite as “off-grid” as the listing suggested. When we arrived, Kevin explained that the cleaner had been due to clean the property before we arrived, but for some reason hadn’t, so he ended up changing the duvet cover and sheets himself whilst we were there. He did reassure us that a friend had stayed the previous night and that the bathroom and beds had been properly cleaned beforehand, which was reassuring. The toilet, shower, beds and hot tub seemed clean enough which were the most important areas. Unfortunately, there were still a few signs that the general cleaning had been missed. We found cracked eggshells behind the bin, the bin lid was broken and needs replacing, there was toast left in the toaster, crumbs on the kitchen side, and even a hair found in the freezer. We also felt we had to re-wash dishes before use. None of these things completely ruined our stay, but they did give the impression that the property hadn’t had the thorough clean it really needed before new guests arrived. Despite those issues, we still ended up having a great evening. With a bit more attention to cleanliness and some general updating, this would be the perfect place to stay.
