    Couldn’t seem to find a sink. Not clean had previous people’s mess e.g disposable vape on floor and rubbish stuffed into bedside lamp, under the bed hadn’t seen a mop or hoover for a while. Battery powered lights had no batteries in.

    Easy to find Nice scenery Clean jacuzzi

    the port a loos weren’t clean, hot tub water was greenish brown, called twice to get directions and the answers we got weren’t helpful as they didn’t ask which way we’d come into Aberystwyth and just assumed which caused us to drive around for 30 mins looking for flags 🤦🏻‍♀️ overall wouldn’t recommend as the price is pretty steep for staying in a tent with a dirty hot tub and unclean portaloos.

    the location is great. Can’t fault it. Clearly is also a Tipi and hot tub with attached port-a-loos.

    Convenient one night stay. Too pricy for the facilities offered.

    Directions for finding the place were not clear - details could have been sent using booking.com once we had paid. No sink; only water supply was cold water from a tap on a tree hidden behind the shower (not specified as to whether this was drinking water ?). Although plates were provided there was no basin to wash them in. The only cooking facility was a barbeque. Information about the venue should have made clear that there are no breakfast making facilities and the nearest place that you can buy breakfast is in Aberystwyth. Price paid was too high given the lack of facilities - a hot tub did not make up for the lack of facilities for face washing and cleaning dishes.

    Lovely location. Amazing stars at night due to lack of light pollution. Hot tub was good to use.

    The grounds needed URGENT maintenence, it was overgrown. The bed was broken and very uncomfortable so you kind of rolled all to one side, not good when there is two of you. .. The portalaloos where disgusting and unclean. The facilities in the tipi where poor,scraps of dirty carpet for flooring, odd random tables. No coat stand so everything had to go on the floor or piled up on the tables. The hot tub, the only thing that was clean! I say sarcastically as it was so full of chemicals we literally couldn't use it. It stang our eyes and burnt our skin. A washing up bowl is provided with all you need for washing up. But no water facilities at all. Overall a very very disappointing experience. 😞

    The hot tub was on when we arrived so lovely and warm.

    Everything, the floor was not clean or have any attempt to be clean. The inner of the tent was covered in mold. The toilet and shower portaloo was not clean either you could tell they had not been used for along time! The bedside table when opened the front of the draw came off. Safe to say me and my partner did not stay the night. We got a last minute hotel a few miles down the road would not recommend this tipi to stay in as you would be let down on arrival.

    Nothing!

    I booked the tipi for 2 nights. We choose this site and paid more money than other places just because the use of a hot tub came with the accommodation but on arrival the hot tub was deflated contained dirty water and debri our tent floor was very dirty from dried mud and had no working lights which made it difficult for us, we got in contact immediately upon arrival to complain and was reluctantly offered the first nights stay in the cottage where we had use of the hot tub (which sadly also needed a clean )but was swiftly told we would have to spend the second night in the tent which on arrival on the second day was still in the same state so had no use of a hot tub for the second day. We conctacted you to find out if there was electricity and told there was, for it to be far away from the tent and outside. The shower/toilet situation. The toilet had a dirty roll in it that had obviously fallen into the toilet (blue dye on it) which made the toilet smell before we had even used it. The shower had no working water. We had no where to brush our teeth or access to any running water. The bbq had no gas (some was brought for us next day) but in all honestly I would not have cooked on it as it was unsafe to use due to the level of dirt and dried on left overs from previous use and rust. contacted property to find out what we would need to bring and told there was plenty there (utensils) and there wasn’t We were also told that it was very private but could hear and see people staying in the cabin behind. Very disappointed with our stay as it was nothing as described. This stay was not luxury as described and over all a very unpleasant stay. As far as I am concerned this is false advertising Rung multiple times and spoke to multiple different people the manager has refused to speak to us and has not called back like promised

    The location was not a far drive from Aberystwyth

    all was very very bad and dirty

    got to this property and wouldn’t even let my dog sleep in it!!! no lights whatsoever, kettle but absolutely no power so what was the point in that. there was a tiny battery light either side of bed which batteries had run out. went down to the toilet and it was full to the top of poo. the BBQ was that rusty and dirt was u unusable. we did get a upgrade to a hotel but when I looked on there web it was cheaper than I paid for the tent. absolutely vile !!!

    This is glamping NOT a hotel!

    Though advised of where to find the site, there was no signage to indicate the turning required to access it. The entrance is around 0.6/0.7 miles from the roundabout, not 1 mile as advised. Remote staff, though contact number is given if queries arise. There was no paperwork on how to operate the hot tub, barbeque or where to get water from. The shower had no hooks to hang towels or clothes up.

    This is glamping, as I expected, so be prepared and the stay is good. I have had the best nights sleep for ages during the stay. The sound of nature during the night.

    Basic facilities for one, water, electric and the ground was very rough. Toilets had not been cleaned after previous guests and was very smelly

    Bed was good, but some spare blankets would have been good. Hot tub was nice.

    toilet needed a good clean, couldn’t get the shower to work but they let us use the cottage free of charge so no complaints. hot tub could maybe use a clean, maybe sell some nibbles and drinks on site?

    quirky, very peaceful. unique snd different
