Site 1 - Boho Cartel Retreat & Glamping

We had a nice time but it is quite rough around the edges. It was very very cold and windy which is no one's fault. The tents were nicely decorated and the hot water bottles and bedding kept us toasty. Other than sitting in the tents playing games and reading there isn't much else to do. Would be nicer in the summer. The pit toilet was fine and what we expected. The shower was 37 degrees at maximum but fine. I wouldn't have been comfortable sharing the site with others as there is a big crack where the people in the kitchen can see into the shower. It would be nice to have some nice shampoos etc. There was a drawer with random sample bottles of stuff that appeared half used. Also a box of tissues would be nice. We were offered to use the shower block being built for the new section but it was a 200m walk in the cold and the girls didn't like the paint smell. The kitchen is ok but very rustic. Spider webs and leaves on the floor rather than rustic chic. No hot water in kitchen so hard to wash dishes when the kettle takes 15 mins to boil. We ended up leaving a load of dishes because we didn't feel we could leave them hygienically clean. Not sure how they do. The hammock was mouldy and ripped which was very disappointing to our girls. The new site looks nice with the pool etc. Overall it was ok but not very glam. The photos of the tent interiors are true but the rest of the photos weren't very representative. It wouldn't take much to make it nice.
