What our customers say about their holidays

• Rajesh - Verified booking

  This was our first family glamping Holiday and although it was only for two nights but it truly was a wonderful experience, especially for the kids.

  The hosts, Nigel and Emma in particular, were both wonderful. Since this was our first such Holiday with kids, Nigel was very helpful over the phone to answer our queries prior to our trip and gave all the information that we required. Emma, once we reached was there to greet us and took us to our safari tent and explained what all we needed to do and where everything was. The toilet in the tent we were booked in was broken so we were moved into another safari tent and it was very clean, including the shower and toilet and everything was neatly laid out in the tent. Emma had also left us lovely fresh apple welcome drink and homemade lemon drizzle cake which was just scrumptious! Following morning we were shown around the farm, including milking of the cows and meeting the lovely grand parents who also help out on the farm too. This is a family run farm (three generation old), which is well looked after with all the family members helping out on the farm. In the tents there is no electricity, however, there is provision for hot water for both, shower and sink, via gas cylinder and solar panels. The tents do not have any fridge but a cooler box is provided and ice packs could be borrowed for free from their quaint little pantry where the guests can use the farm’s fridge & freezer to store any personal food items. In the pantry there is facility to charge all your gadgets and phones. On the all it was a great glamping experience and for us since this was our first time, 2 nights and 3 days, was just about good… however, the kids wanted to stay for one more day! Thank you so much Emma for hosting us and for the added bonus to give us some home grown lovely beet roots…

  From the moment we arrived, the view from the quaint road was a sight to behold.

  The two properties against the wooded backdrop and luscious green fields. Chickens and fresh eggs daily. Thanks to the hens, for letting us collect their bounty. The welcome pack and sweets was a lovely touch, something for the big & little kids in our group. The property is spacious, inviting whilst homely. Every small detail has been carefully thought out. No fighting over sockets for phones, tablets etc. Layout is extremely well thought out. Heating controlled at the flick of a switch. Fans and wide opening windows and doors, to let the Welsh air in. All bathrooms are large with excellent rainfall showers. I don’t know where to start about the beds, bedding, comfort to sink into. Sunny days, or showers the upstairs bedrooms views are simply beautiful. The patio at the back allowed us to fully take in nature. Whilst the grounds, secret seating, pond created with love and the sound of the steam in the background. The balcony with a large barbecue, heating and seating in two areas, allowed us to unwind and take in the hills over yonder. Those sunrises and sunsets were a sight to behold, We were even treated to a double rainbow, after storm Agnes passed through. We were not able to think of any missing items for cooking, the owners have thought of everything. All weathers taken care of, as the very large hot hub was so inviting with privacy and superb views. Last but by no means least, Vickie & Grant were welcoming, charming and knowledgeable about their properties and the local area. There if we needed them, by no means intrusive. Thanks for a fabulous stay, we will be back to their little peace of heaven. Book you will not be disappointed.

  The lodge was filthy, including the linen, towels and scatter cushions (some of which are actually on the beds).

  The floor was dirty, and left the soles of feet/socks black. There are lot of cobwebs in the high ceilings. I had to clean the kitchen worktops before use as they were covered in a white substance. Some of the pans in the cupboard were also dirty. The windows are so dirty it's difficult to appreciate the views through them. There is also mould in the bathrooms. This is in addition to the unacceptable level of dust and grime found pretty much everywhere else. Added to this is the general state of repair of the lodge. The paintwork is very noticeably chipped/scuffed/dirty in all rooms. Some windows didn't open. The longer curtains were stained/mouldy at the bottom. Unfortunately there are no cup coasters, so trying to protect furniture is difficult, despite the strict instructions in the file. There was no welcome pack, in fact there wasn't even a single toilet roll in the whole lodge, but thankfully we had the foresight to bring some. We also had to find the black bin which had been abandoned at the other side of the park. The previous occupants appear to have used the recycling bin for general waste as a result. To say we are disappointed, especially with the price paid is an understatement. I contacted the owner with the issues and photographic evidence, and requested some form of compensation for the time and effort it took to clean the lodge and launder the towels/linen. As you can imagine this was met with silence. Spend your money elsewhere. Holiday ruined.

  Cowslip lodge was situated in a perfect position, furnished out very nice,lovely furniture, beautiful views, nice accessories and a very sunny position all day, we were happy with the above comments.

  However the main thing that let this lodge down for us was the hygiene / cleanliness, very bad in the bathroom and shower and toilets, mould and stains. These can be rectified with a thorough cleaning. There were stains on the single duvet and hairs. I spent a full afternoon cleaning the lodge, but not the mould areas just a spray. We would be more than happy to book this lodge again, if the cleanliness and hygiene is rectified. The response from the property owner was first class and a very nice person. Please rectify this for the next guests as it is important for such a lovely lodge. Dryden company very polite and quick with their response, nice gentlemen that came out to the lodge. We were offered a cleaner to come out to the lodge but this would have been too disturbing for our guests. The lodge would benefit greatly with a gate for dogs as other dogs wander in and spoil it , this is an important fixture for a dog friendly lodge. Other dogs wander around the lodge and leave their mess which we had to clear. We had a lovely time in Cowslip and we would gladly return should the above issues be rectified as I wouldnt want to come away and clean whilst on holiday. More relaxing with a gate for the dogs and to keep others out. Thank you to the owner of this fantastic lodge, who will be proud to own Cowslip

  We really enjoyed the fabulous cottage and location The cottage is a brilliant design with open plan lounge and dinning areas The windows at high level allow natural day light to illuminate the rooms The bedrooms are great giving room for four adults and and four children The Cow Slip Cottage is the best site on the complex in our opinion as its at the end facing the fields towards the view of the castle This is light up at night creating a great spectacle Bamburgh is great spot to be with fantastic beaches all the way down to Sea Houses Bamburgh Castle is special Holy Island is nearby too Bamburgh Golf Course is one of the best scenic courses in the UK The club house is a great place too with top notch food with friendly staff Also fish and chips in Sea Houses is a real treat with fresh fish from the fishing harbour The beach is in our opinion the best in the UK with lovely sand stretching from Bamburgh Castle to Sea Houses With healthy sea walks and air while the brave swim or surf We would recommend it and would like to think we could go again sometime
