    Unfortunately the weather was too poor to stay in the tipi due to high winds. However we were quickly re-located to a cabin that was on site which was perfect for the night! A lovely wee stay with incredibly friendly hosts, and animals galore!...

    It was great fun to experience this night in the dome. Despite a rainy day and a damp atmosphere, the dome was sufficiently equipped to keep us warm throughout. The facilites were well equipped and simple to use. The hosts were very friendly and...
