    Wendy and David are definitely in the latter category. They are open, friendly, and non-obtrusive. The accommodation was immaculate and we really enjoyed our 4-day stay in the peace and quiet of Grove. Counting passing satellites from a hot-tub is not something I do every day! We will be back soon.

  • Josh

    Real luxury and exquisite attention to detail. Everything had been thought about and catered for to ensure our stay was our best Glamping experience we have ever had (and we've had a few!). Dave and Wendy were amazing hosts and ensured we had all we needed. They clearly love hosting guests and that showed through in their genuine care for our best stay possible. From gazing at the stars in the hottub to hearing the hourly chime of the village church bells and sampling food hampers from Paula at the local farm shop our break couldn't have been any better. 100% recommend staying here.

    We visited for 4 days and 3 nights to celebrate our anniversary. The huts have everything you may need and are super clean, essentials such as milk, sugar and coffee are also provided. The pictures really don't do them justice, they are even better in person. The hot tub was much needed as we went on many walks around the area which is beautiful. It was very clean and temperature was perfect. There are lots of shops and restuarants close by too in case you need to pop out for anything. We visited Yorkshire Wildlife Park and Lincoln after recommendations from the hosts which were both around 30 mins drive away from the property and were both fabulous days out. The hosts were amazing, they helped with any questions we had and were chatty and friendly when we saw them around. We particularly enjoyed hearing and watching the sheep when it was feeding time! We had a very peaceful and relaxing time here which was much needed (even with the wind which was rather fierce on our last few days!) and we would recommend to anyone. It was the best celebration and we hope to come back in the future. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!
