Hilarious evening

The welcome and service was good and friendly. Good food. Actors brilliant with interesting twists. Good accommodation with delightful 4 footed ling eared neighbours. A few practical points: Entrance sign on the road hidden behind trees on inside bend - no time to turn left safely. Instructions on use of shower need to be provided, particularly with warning that water can become scalding hot.

Great experience in a wonderful location

We enjoyed a short break in one of the Rosebud Meadow pods - there are very comprehensive instructions about what to bring and what was already provided, so we knew what to expect. The pod was warm and cosy (and we had dry weather), and the shower block is immaculate (great water pressure and plenty of hot water). We enjoyed seeing the horses and goats abs bought some goats' milk toiletries as souvenirs as we left. Rosie always answered emails quickly leading up to our stay, and as everything was so well-prepared and explained, we didn't need to contact her whilst we were there. Thanks for a lovely relaxing break, Rosie!
