Secret garden: swim & wildlife
Beautiful glamping site!!
We had an amazing time on Rob & Amanda's land. It is so beautiful and relaxing and the swimming pond & sauna was such a treat. It's one of those places where photos and words can't do it justice, you have to see it! All amenities were there, accommodation was gorgeous and we were very well looked after. Would come back in a heartbeat!! The outdoor kitchen area is amazing and well equipped and the walled garden is magical.
