  This was a perfect fit for us; for one of us with new chronic illness, the other with limited mobility and a young lively dog. It is 3 minutes from door to centre of woodland if you can clamber over some logs/stones, a minute more if you need to walk on flat. We found it so peaceful/ serene. Our dog was much more at ease with so little surrounding noise (except a military flight path which didn't bother us at all, somehow it was still just so quiet there).It's small which makes it very cosy with the log burner and rainwater shower plus roll top bath adding restorative cosiness. Fully equipped kitchen, there were even lots of useful things like oil and kitchen foil which made everything easier.If, like my illness, you have extra sensitivities, ask that the scent diffusers are removed in advance. You need caution with the spiral staircase in lounge area as you could bump head on it, so it could be issue for some disabilities, but we placed dog bed there to remind us not to cross the room that way.Very helpful responsive owners. We will certainly try to return. It was hard to find especially in dark. We gave feedback so hopefully instructions will improve. It's a very long off load track that not all cars/ people would enjoy/ manage well, but if you can, the remoteness is wonderful.As pictures illustrates, we were there in Autumn but the yard looks like it would be lovely for summer al fresco dining and was good for hot chocolate under the stars. Also look at our dog's smile on the last morning. He was refusing to leave the forest.

  Excellent location and hot shower but everything else is poor.

  No BBQ or fire pit as advertised on the property listing. Could not light the stove as fuel provided would not light even with fire lighters and kindling. So not able to boil kettle for hot drink or heat the tent. This meant very cold nights. No welcome folder with instructions on how to work stove etc or who to contact for help. Would have been nice to have had some info about local area too. Bedding was stained. Poor attention to detail such as would be nice to have some hooks in shower area to hang clothes and towels, sink is too small to be able to fill bottles etc from tap. Description on website says electric heater which gives impression that there is electricity. There is but no sockets available for phone charging or hair dryer etc. This should be made clear on the description as well as no cooking facilities or cooking equipment. Overall a frustrating and cold weekend. Definitely camping not glamping.

  We have just had the most perfect stay at the Old Dairy . Hosts could not have been friendlier or more accomodating. The Old Dairy is spotlessly clean. Very tastefully put together with fabulous attention to detail and comfort. The welcome pack was very generous and delicious and so super helpful to get through first evening and breakfast meals. Our Dogs enjoyed there welcome gifts too. The Old Dairy is situated in beautiful peaceful surroundings with lots of lovey walks. We were even treated to a fabulous walk with our host to show us where the best sunsets were to be observed. Local pub food was perfectly acceptable and a great atmosphere was enjoyed. Great beaches a short car journey away. The information folder provided by our lovely hosts was very informative. Could not recommend more highly The Old Dairy . Thank you once again for a super holiday can't wait to return.

  What can I say about Bumbles Retreat!

  !! FANTASTIC, BEAUTIFUL, COMFORTABLE PEACE & QUIET . Simply the BEST place to totally relax,chill out to recharge our batteries . We also had lovely weather, which was a bonus.Everything you could think of was provided, a tin of treats for our boy FLINT & a lovely basket of goodies for us. Our hosts too were so lovely, they've created a wonderful Retreat ❤️& I would highly recommend going there if you need to totally relax. Flint,our dog had a brilliant time to, so much room to run around as much as he wanted, in pastures of wild grasses & flowers &plenty of 'sniffs' to explore. Seeing the beautiful Barn Owl 4 out of the 5 nights was a huge bonus, plus all the other wildlife too. Local pub is great for either a takeaway or on Wednesdays, a gorgeous Roast, with digs allowed inside, perfect for us. We didn't want to leave! Will certainly be visiting you again in the future

  I recently stayed at Bumbles Retreat and had the most wonderful experience.

  The peaceful, idyllic scenery was exactly what I needed for a relaxing getaway. The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making sure everything was just perfect. The shepherd’s hut is beautifully done up with so much attention to detail, from the cute bathroom to the cozy little reading lights. The bed was super comfy, ensuring a great night’s sleep, and the hut had everything you could possibly need for a long weekend away. Little touches like the baskets with wine and beer, as well as books, really added to the charm. For dog owners, they’ve thought of everything – there was even a little bag of goodies and treats for my dog, Bandit, which was such a thoughtful touch. The whole atmosphere at Bumbles Retreat is peaceful and serene, making it a perfect escape. I can’t recommend it enough – we had a lovely time and will definitely be back!
