    The best two night stay of our 2 weeks travelling around N.I. Our kids loved the animals, especially Romeo-the kitten. M

    A mirror in the bell tent would be great, but we didn’t ask and I’m sure Kerry would have got us one.

    Made to feel at home, nothing was to much trouble, Kerry is so lovely and the best host ever. Our children have said it was the best 2 night stay in the two weeks we travelled around northern island. Pizza and bread are to die for xx

    Wasn’t aware when booking it was so close to owners house. Wasn’t an issue as they were all lovely and friendly and it was peaceful and quiet but just needs to be made more clear on booking.com I think.

    Lovely scenery, main bed very comfortable, nice to have the fire pit for the evenings. Family were lovely and so welcoming. Had everything we needed and more and the family were always doing all they couldn’t to make our stay that extra bit special.

    Everything was just perfect and a great set up. Credit to our hosts and for our special dance show- thank you girls🤩 the tent was very comfortable for 4 adults and 2 dogs. The animals were an added bonus so was the beautiful freshly baked bread. Hot tub was so relaxing and fire pit was just lovely to sit around and enjoy your beautiful surroundings

    The chickens got a bit up close and personal but that's to be expected when camping on a croft!

    The tent was bright and welcoming with everything we needed. Kerry was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. It was a great way to spend quality time together as a family. We enjoyed using the hot tub and the log burner in the tent made everything so cosy. Loads of blankets and wee nooks to sit on added to the comfort. We loved the commitment to recycling and keeping things natural and Kerry is amazing with all the things she makes from soaps and pizzas to smores kits. She is really providing a great experience.

    Nothing.

    Kerry was an absolutely amazing host, she really couldn't do enough for us. We came as a group of ladies for one of our friends birthday. Kerry decorated the tent with a lovely home made birthday banner and some balloons, It was just a beautiful personal touch. The tent is so cute and girly, we especially loved the pillow corner, it was sooo comfy and great to chill out on. The hot tub was lovely and the surroundings are beautiful especially at night when the lights come on. Kerrys 2 young girls are just wee darlings, they came and took our pizza order and even let us pet some chickens and baby chicks. I really wish we booked to stay an extra night!

    Would be good to have a small electric kettle available inside Tent

    Oh my .. what a lovely place host Kerry and family have created .. a happy home from home .. its a credit to them. Lovely surroundings peaceful setting and and the tent has all the comforts of home , small fridge , comfy bed and nice bedding .. fresh towels , wood burner , hot shower .. and not forgetting the the most welcome addition of a unique hot tub .. lovely to soak in as you watch the sun go down surrounded by nature. Such a welcome we received.. especially from dogs Rufus and Lilly ... Kerry made us feel at home right away and made us lovely homemade pizza and sides which was amazing .. nothing was a bother to her but we had everything that was needed, including fresh eggs from the chickens it was just the perfect place to disconnect and reconnect.. oh and there are llittle goats 😍 My daughter and I loved making memories here and look forward to a visit in the future

    I loved everything about the place. The setting is beautiful and Kerry and her family made me feel like part of the family. The facilities are great with everything you need plus things you didn't even know you needed. Kerry provided aromatherapy bath salts for the hot tub allowing me to totally relax and wind down. The bed was so comfy and everything was spotless. I was even given a taste of Kerrys home made bread fresh from the oven which was divine. With no tv there were no distractions and it was exactly what I needed. Easy to find and well off the main road providing total privacy. A massive thank you to Kerry for sharing a little part of her home with me for the night

    We were very lucky with the weather so got to enjoy the whole experience at it's best 😎😎 it's a great location with lovely scenic country views. Really friendly hosts who made our 2 girls feel so welcome straight away and they loved getting to meet all the animals. The chickens kept us entertained 😊 And the pizza was delicious !! 😋 🥰

    Attention to detail is excellent. Tent is fabulous, warm with wood burning stove, well ventilated and furnished. Facilities are great. Fire pit, outdoor seating area, gas stove, barrel hot tub and showering/ washing facilities. Perfect getaway and something different. Hosts are very welcoming and so accommodating. Every glamping need is covered 100%. Eco friendly also which is a plus. Even free range eggs for breakfast from their very own chickens! A great experience to glamp in a beautiful part of the world.

    We didn't like the amount of chicken poo in the gardens and found it difficult to keep the inside of the tent clean with this. Perhaps a run for the chickens to explore and the children to pet might be an idea.

    We loved how welcome we were made to feel! Kerry and her wee daughter were lovely! The children enjoyed the animals and the freedom to play in the garden. The pizzas were great and meant we didn't need to worry about venturing out for something.
