We had the most wonderful stay at Caracol. The location is glorious. So peaceful and relaxing . The facilities were exceptional. Lovely chilled out communal areas. The kitchen was really well equipped . The tents were spacious and the beds were so comfy. We will definitely be back as we all loved it. Even the teenagers 😂

We stayed for 2 nights at Caracol recently as a family of 3 adults and 2 kids and cannot recommend the place enough.The location was tucked away, very quiet with lovely views across the local countryside and the owners Claire and Ade couldn't have made us feel more welcome.The tents were clean, spacious and the double beds were warm and comfortable. There's even extra blankets and hot water bottles on site should you need them.Facilities were excellent and included games for the kids, a modern shower/toilet block that was cleaned every day, a communal kitchen that included absolutely everything you could possibly need for cooking/storing your food, a covered lounge area with a fire pit and comfy sofas, and a large communal marquee with plenty of tables and chairs for enjoying a bbq and a few glasses of wine.All in all this campsite was a real gem and we're already looking forward to planning another visit next year!

Been wanting to go to this campsite for a while and it didn't disappoint. Claire and Ade met us all at the site - super welcoming and friendly.The site had everything - so nice to go to a glamping site where everything apart from food / drink / toothbrush / clean clothes etc etc is provided.Lovely space with plenty of room between tents. Great communal spaces to hang out if the weather is not on your side.Will definitely be going back next year.

The whole family came together to celebrate a big birthday at Caracol Glamping and it couldn’t have turned out better. Bell tents to accommodate everyone, including the children. Everyone slept comfortably. The amenities on site are very clean and tidy, with everything you need to hand. Sitting around the fire pit and enjoying dinner on the BBQ each evening was idyllic, we couldn’t want for more. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

An amazing trip to a fantastic place. Just a beautiful location with the most wonderfully dressed luxury bell tents. We visited as a group of 13 adults and 12 kids and had the best time. Absolutely tonnes of space in the meadow, fantastic communal areas kitted out with everything you could think of needing, great chill out areas including a covered sofa area, and the cleanest shower/toilet facilities we've seen. Couldn't recommend Caracol and the wonderful hosts enough.

I'm not sure how to explain how beautiful and wonderful Caracol is - it's the most perfect hidden gem with everything you could possibly need for the most perfect weekendMy friends and I just stayed for the weekend and all left with the biggest smiles on our faces and talking about how soon we can next book!The place has everything you need - we turned up with clothes, a towel, food and drink and we were good for the entire weekend. Every comfort has been thought of. We also had a 10 year old and a 12 year old and they also had the most wonderful time too.It really can cater for everyone and the setting is incredible.We didn't want to leave ❤️

Absolutely delightful few days with friends at Caracol! The facilities were brilliant - and there are loads of lovely touches where they had clearly thought of everyone a family might need. Really impressed by the tents themselves as well as the lovely communal spaces. Will definitely be going back next year!

We had a fantastic stay here. Claire was there to meet me and show me around when I arrived. The facilities are really good, with a well equipped and large kitchen, and books and boardgames available in the lounge area. The view is amazing, and the tent we stayed in was comfortable and cozy. The site was very quiet and peaceful while we were there. Nothing to fault, we're looking forward to returning.

Great experience from first enquiry to the end of our stay. Claire is super helpful and has thought of everything to make Caracol an easy but fun get away. We had the whole site with a group of families. 16 kids were in their element running or pulling each other around the site on the trailer or crafting in the sofa area. BBQ and kitchen facilities were great and toilets/showers were very clean. The sunrise (if youre up that early) was truly stunning. We will definitely be back!

My sister hired out the entire Caracol glampsite for my hen do and I cannot express how happy I am that she did! We had the most amazing stay, complete with an alpaca visit in the day and live music in the evening to create a festival vibe! Each tent is beautifully presented, with really comfortable beds, and the communal areas are very clean and well-kept, decorated brilliantly, and have everything you could possibly need. The site itself is situated in a beautiful, picturesque village with a couple of lovely pubs not far from it. The owners, Claire and Ade, were super welcoming and accommodating too. I couldn't recommend this site highly enough :)
