I like how quiet and peaceful it is. View was fantastic, had good facilities and staff responded to my inquiries fast via online.
I brought my dog with me and had limited access where they can go. I understand about the nature of animals and people privacy as well though. Some areas were lack of maintenance especially the gym area, lots of ants as well.

The view from the room and showers were the only thing we enjoyed.
Room was filled with tiny ants everywhere. We didn't have any food in the room, everything was stored in the kitchen. Ants even in the sheets that bit me on my feet and these ants were everywhere on the floor (have videos and pictures). No salt/pepper in the kitchen. Definitely didn't feel like the stay was worth the money paid, no beech on property as mentioned either. The beach bar and pond were pretty inexistent.

View and ease
A teepee or pod nearby talked all night and we could not sleep . A sign up to be considerate of guests after ten and not talk all night would be helpful .
Rubbish out side the teepee and on the path . Bottle tops and string and paper bits
Around taps cleaning would be good . Also soap dispenser did not work and was empty by basin

This was a tranquil spot with stunning views of the sunrises. We will definitely stay here again.

We liked the view and the fact that dogs are allowed.
Room was quite small and we had ants in the room. Also it is quite far from the beach, shops and cafes (nothing in walking distance).

Great location. Was raining day that we arrived, would be great on a fine day. Will be even better once gardens more established.

it’s beautiful, and really idyllic. the facilities are clean and tidy and it’s got stunning views
maybe the only thing would be to have toilets closer to the glamping tents as you have to walk a little bit to get to them!

location to the beach and the position on the hill, amazing view!!!
Needed more space in the fridge, was there for 4 days with a child, and only allocated one small arm on the fridge door.
Also busy time of year, the bathrooms could have been cleaned more / shower dooms needed a good clean

Location was fantastic!
First morning we were there, we went to kitchen to make a coffee to bring back to room, the coffee tin was empty which was disappointing, then no key to our room to lock up when we went out however service for the key was very prompt! They got onto that immediately which was appreciated. Other than that, stay was really good.

Excellent host with great chat. We were lucky to have the place almost to ourselves, and loved the serene view from the eco pods. It was a lovely place to refresh and replenish, even during winter.
Rooms a little cold and hard to heat during winter. Otherwise it was all lovely.

My partner and I came up with our dog for the long weekend and we were blown away by this place! We stayed in one of the pods and everything was perfect! The view was amazing, everything was so clean and the staff members were all friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately, the weather was not the greatest during our stay so we didn't have the opportunity to enjoy a surf lesson (another reason to come back). Fortunately the bed was huuuuuge & very comfortable, free wifi and SmartTV and less than 10min drive to great takeaway options - I cannot recommend this place enough!
