Beautiful.
Stayed as a family of 4 in tadpole lodge, with an 8 and 3 year old. Had the best family weekend we've had. The site is beautifully clean as is the lodge.
We thought the hottub would be the big hit, and it did get used frequently, but the outdoor natural swimming pool was the highlight. We were all in it every day. It was only around 18-20 and family overcast when we stayed but was still great fun. If you get lucky on a really hot week it must be even better. The onsite gym is one of the best equipped gyms there will be on any site in the country, can't believe how good it was.
Hosts are very accommodating and friendly as are there dogs. Kids enjoyed seeing the chickens and donkeys too.
Overall just so relaxing and tranquil, and we don't want to leave.
Only thing I would say is it says there's a playpark on the booking site, this is actually just a couple of swings. Although we did expect this looking at the pictures, might be disappointing to some. The kids were never bored however.
Surrounding areas give some of the best views we've ever seen. Some steep climbs around but well worth it. We also went to Queenswood Country Park & Arboretum, which if you're staying with kids I'd highly recommend. Great forest walks with park and cafe, and free!
