“We had a truly splendid stay. The bell tents were beautifully equipped, and the facilities were better than expected. We loved all the garden games that were available to us and so much thought, and Care had been put into how to have a great time whilst on the site. Georgie was a pleasure to work with, and we found the whole experience to be hugely enjoyable. All of the communication was easy and nothing was too much trouble. On the same day that we left, we were already talking about going back. Thank you for hosting us.”
