Goshawk Lodge Reviews

Emma
Would be good to have had a axe to chop the wood and a broom to brush the grass away other than that couldnt fault it defiantly be back again
Vanessa
Beautiful site, perfect in every way! Thank you!
Jenny
Perfect location. Accommodation ideal. Lots of walks and choice of nearby places to eat out or can eat in. Local roads nice to drive on. Bit cold at night (once the fires gone down) in early easter so would recommend a hot water bottle :) Host great, very helpful. Definitely recommend.
Elaine
Fantastic glamping site. We had a great week here in October with our 2 primary school aged children. They loved the cabin bed. There is loads of space right outside the tent for playing, ball games etc and the owners also have provided some board games inside the tent. There is a playpark in the village a 10 minute walk away which also has footbal l, basketball and tennis courts. A great relaxing break in a really well equipped tent in a lovely location.
