Me and my friends had a wonderful stay at the glamping site! The location was absolutely beautiful, close to the city centre, and very quiet. The tents were roomy (plenty for 3) and beds were comfortable - we slept so well through the night. Staff was very accommodating and helpful, the food cart was great for morning coffee and breakfast, and the amenities (toilets, showers, charging stations, games, etc) were better than we imagined. Everything was, in fact, better than we imagined there! I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

First time Glamping and an overall great experience. Appreciated the quiet hours. The one suggestion would be more food selection.
