Our family had a fantastic two-day stay at Gravel Pit Farm. The kids were thrilled with the tractor rides and loved collecting fresh eggs. The home-baked flapjacks were a delightful treat! The location is stunning, and the tent was well-equipped with everything we needed. It's clear that every detail has been carefully considered. Annabel and Simon were outstanding hosts, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Highly recommended for a fun and relaxing getaway!

The tents are perfect and very well equipped. The farm around is a lovely place, with friendly horses and chickens around. Couple of minor negatives:• Hosts charge you quite a lot for wood/kindlings, etc. as well as requiring a £100 deposit for your stay. It's a bit over the top, considering the price per night is itself really high for glamping.• The tents do get REALLY cold at night (in October)! Be prepared.

Glamping tents super nice and very well equipped. Host was very friendly and helpful. We had terrible weather for our visit which was unfortunate but still had a lovely time. Tents were super freezing at night despite the log burner so be sure to pack extra warm stuff when visiting outside of summer!
