Beautiful stay- looks exactly like the photos, and felt even bigger that expected.

Had a brilliant night sleep in the location, and was perfect for the outdoorsy style trip we were looking for. The shower and bathroom was exceptional for a “glamping” style tent. Had a very complete kitchen too with large fridge.
