excellent glamping experience

comfortable beds wool throws
the safari tents offer comfortable beds and electric blankets. welsh wool throws and indoor sofas were provided. the wood burner and private bathrooms were a great addition. the location is close to many area attractions.
i found dim lighting in the tent. this made it difficult to do things indoors during cold weather. more lighting is certainly needed inside the tent.
Service

the staff can help with needs but without intrusion. they offer privacy while remaining available. one can observe animals and a farm trail just outside, great for convenient interaction with farm life.

the venue included a bar and seating near a barn. a 'secret campfire' was available in the woods with marshmallows and cookies. the setting also included wandering dogs, ducks and wild ponies heightening every walk through the farm.

Relaxing Farm Getaway

relaxed owners beautiful location friendly staff hard chicken small serving rude owner
I appreciated the friendly and relaxed owners. Mixing with other international guests was nice. I liked the beautiful location and the wandering dogs. Ducks and wild ponies heightened every walk through the farm.
We booked a barbecue meal. I was served a small hard chicken wing. I was told only one wing was allowed per person with salad and half a potato. I was provided with no cutlery despite asking two times.

The safari tent featured comfortable beds and Welsh wool throws. I found both indoor and outdoor sofas. a wood burner, and that's amazing! The private bathroom offered plenty of hot water, which I really liked (perfect after hiking).
