Overall Rating

Excellent

What a wonderful secret escape. I only stayed 2 nights (in Squirrel lodge) but it was amazing and I can’t wait to go again. The glamping pod I stayed in was semi accessible. I took my own ramp as I knew there was a step up onto the wooden decking. Once inside I had plenty of space and power to charge my chair. A fridge was also provided. I took my own fan as I knew it would be hot. The wood chip paths were great for my wheelchair and well lit at night. The bar was busy but still accessible and the food venders were great. The shop had everything I had forgotten including a toothbrush and more. I was able to order freshly baked croissants for breakfast, and my assistance dog had an icecream. There is a pond with some huge fish, and you can feed them if you ask for a fish food jug. They had 2 large wetroom / accessible toilets. One was easier to get into than the other due to the door layout. The campsite is mostly dog friendly although only assistance dogs can go in the shop and the showers / toilets. All dogs were being kept on leads at all times and everyone was so friendly. There is a small info shed with local attraction leaflets.

Disabled Access In and Around

Good

All the glamping pods / cabins are on decking. I took my own ramp to be able to wheel up on to the decking. The whole campsite is adults only.

Parking & Transport

Excellent

The parking was close but not right next to the cabin. I had help carrying all my equipment and luggage to the cabin.

Accessible Toilets

Excellent

There are 2 accessible toilets / wet rooms near my cabin. One is easier to access than the other due to the door configuration. A shower stool was provided. I don’t believe there was a changing places toilet available.
