Absolutely first class. From website details, booking and staying. Excellent location for us skiing. Pods are beautiful and cosy. Wood fired hot tub and fire pit is an absolute must, especially after a days skiing. Finally, The Bothy was an added bonus that we didn’t think we would need. But was fully kitted out with everything possible and loved the communal feel. Can’t recommend enough. Well done Helena and Nathan, you’ll definitely be seeing us again! Xx

Friendly owners, beautiful location and we loved the animals! Great showers / toilets and having use of the very well equipped Bothy for cooking and hanging out in when it's raining makes camping here a great experience. Will definitely be back.
