    Easy to find, lovely and peaceful even next to an A road. Tent cosy and cute, beds super comfy and warm. Breakfast was lovely, home cooked English, plus cereals, toast, yoghurts, fruit, coffees etc all available. Hot tub was lovely and private, again nice and cosy. Only a 10 minute walk to local pub for food and drinks.

    nothing! 😊

    lovely personal area with fire pit, bbq, private hot tub, shower and toilet. the bell tent has a tv and heating, electric points and a dressing table area. the beds were really comfortable and tent was a pleasant temperature. it was great to be able to bring our dog. The games room was a big hit with our 11 year old. Two dog friendly pubs within walking distance.

    We can't think of any improvements - Sheila really has thought of absolutely everything.

    Our stay was absolutely fantastic. Sheila couldn't do enough for us - upon arrival she checked that the tent was warm enough for us, and added extra heaters in case we got cold. Breakfast was absolutely fantastic and we were blown away by the quality and comfort of the yurt and hot tub. The facilities are absolutely outstanding and Sheila really is a great host. Can't thank you enough for making my other half's 30th birthday weekend away extra special and we will definitely return.

    The property could just do with a few more outdoor lights now that the dark night are coming.

    Our stay in the Bell tent was amazing, it was like our very own secret garden, great facilities with the hot tub, bbq, fire pit and outdoor kitchen. Everything was very well looked after and maintained, the bell tent was so cosy with beautiful decor! We loved every minute of our stay! Shiela was amazing and couldn’t do more to help, helping us with the bbq, fire pit and local recommendations and ensuring we had enough milk for a morning cuppa, thanks so much.

    The ‘bathroom’ was an enclosed chemical toilet, with a very small portable plastic hand basin. You had to hold the tap in place with one hand to use it. The door did not close from the inside, so whilst sat on the toilet you had to use one hand to hold the door closed, giving no privacy re the shared ‘lounge’ , hot tub and other tent in the rear garden. Unless you used the hot tub, no other means to wash or shower. Obviously only cold water. The one mug available to make a cup of tea was dirty. The very busy A17 runs behind the location so unless you are used to the noise of constant heavy traffic (which I’m not) then it is very noisy. At £110 it cost to stay here, I wished I had not cancelled my 2* hotel booking 10 miles away at a cost of £57, as I thought it’s location to the showground would be worth the extra money and although I appreciate it is ‘camping’ at that price I thought the facilities would have and should have been better. Glamping it was not.

    The host was very pleasant; close proximity to Newark showground

    All looking a little tired and overpriced based on facilities. Tent had a lot of green mould on the outside layer which could be seen from inside the tent, and this detracted from the whole look of the accommodation. No lights working in toilet or kitchen area during first night, was sorted when brought to management’s attention. Site is next to a VERY noisy A road, 24/7 traffic and this wasn’t mentioned in property bio. Also next to working pig farm, so noise of animals & tractors.

    Bell tent was in a private part of garden with a hot tub in another tent nearby.

    Bell tent was very warm and comfortable and the owner Sheila could not do enough for us. The hot tub in another bell tent was clean, warm and we'll set out. Had a very enjoyable stay thanks.
