Old Pound Smithy

Everything. It was stunning.

The family in the next tent with a yappy dog. Really unfair on the rest of us who wanted to enjoy the peace.

Nothing to dislike

Everything was great

The location was gorgeous; each tent was well enough apart for privacy; the fire pit was a perfect addition to the experience; a heated blanket on the giant bed meant three of us stayed warm through the cold night. The toilets are not close to all tents and require a walk, so waterproof shoes (or urine bags) might be a good idea in very cold weather. It was a very unique experience. We hope to come back when we can also take a blacksmith course.

The pull-out cot ended up not being warm enough, but we all fit in the big bed. Next time, I think we should prepare better and bring an appropriate sleeping bag.

Bella la tenda, ben allestita, chic al punto giusto per una bella foto su Instagram.

La sala comune presenta bene ma è poco mantenuta, mancano accessori essenziali e se le tende sono tutte occupate non ha posto per tutti: non basta arredare cool per sopperire a tutte le mancanze pratiche. Noi siamo stati in piena estate, temperature insolitamente alte ma abbiamo dovuto accendere la termo coperta, se piove è un disastro. Alle prime luci dell'alba la tenda è illuminata a giorni. La zona è parecchio fuori mano. Il costo non vale la pena.
