"This place is filled with so much happiness. So peaceful, healing, SO good for the soul. Get in touch with your wild, natural side - then try and keep a piece of that and take it home with you and use it every day! Light fires oustide; be silly; eat natural and observe nature" ~ Andie, John & their lurcher "Our favourite place in the world! This is the most magical place we have ever stayed. Although the website mentions the lovely setting, nothing can prepare you for the moment that you step through the gate and see the caravan and river below you. It really is quite wonderful. We've had another fantastic summer here." ~ Billy, Lou & Mouse the dog who have stayed 5 times. "The most romantic three days we've ever had. Sitting by the log fire at night before retiring to the fairie lights in the caravan was just wonderful! " ~ Steve & Michele Sorry, no children under age 10 years old (babes in arms ok).
