We went on a family trip and between us had a yurt and a two bed safari tent between 6 adults and two children. The safari tent had two ample sized rooms, one with double bed and one with two good size singles, a large open plan living area with double sofa bed, well equipped kitchen area with gas stove and a wood burner, covered compost toilet and hot shower room. The accommodation also came with a wood fired hot tub which was large enough to get six adults in. The yurt was a large open space with double bed, and two sofa beds, also with wood burning stove. A well stocked outdoor kitchen (covered from the elements) with gas stove, compost loo shed and heated shower, also with a private hot tub. Everything was spotlessly clean and well maintained with exceptionally comfy warm beds! The site also had a large barn with electricity with fridge/freezers with prepared ice packs and enough sockets for charging phones/home comforts. The location was truly special, the landscape and views were beautiful, completely surrounded by fields and woodland. The accommodation was far enough apart that it felt private without feeling secluded, a perfect escape for large parties and families to get together around an open fire without feeling on top of each other should you wish some time relaxing on your own. The woodland in the surrounding area offers beautiful peaceful walks and there are sheep and chickens which the kiddies loved seeing. We travelled with a two year old and 6 month old and a travel cot was provided as well as a box of toys to play with. We loved splashing in the crystal clear stream that runs through the farm (so bring your wellies!!!!) The hosts were just lovely, a warm and welcoming family run business that clearly take pride in their home and the business, nothing is too much trouble, we even left a bag of clothes and Becky was kind enough to post it back to us, so grateful 🙏🏼 Overall the whole experience was just fabulous, family friendly and attention to detail was second to none, we would absolutely recommend Cuckoo Down Farm, its definitely a place that will stay with you long after you’ve left!

Everything about our stay here was perfect. Our daughter was taught how to ride a horse, we collected chicken eggs and fed the sheep. We all wanted to stay longer. The yurt was clean and comfortable and the hot tub was used every night. Lovely local farm shop near by so used the BBQ. Made full use of everything there and didn't need anything extra. Had an amazing time, will be going back again.

The most peaceful, relaxing place to stay. Who wouldn't want to go to sleep to the sound of owls hooting and awake to a gentle, bubbling brook in the background?! We stayed in the yurt, nestled in its own little field with a hot tub, compost toilet, shower and outdoor kitchen area. Becky and John are excellent hosts and have created a perfect haven on their farm for families to enjoy. And if you get the chance, do book a hamper to be delivered to your tent or yurt - the cream tea one was superb!

Visited as a large group for a 40th Birthday! Sublime location, very quiet, left to our own devices. Good scenery and plenty of space between each tent. We played laser tag as a group which I believe can be organised by Cuckoo also. Couldn't recommend more.

We had a fantastic time in May, with amazing weather too. We stayed in one of the Safari Tents (Daisy!) and our friends were distant neighbours - there is just so much space. The Safari tents are a great design and everything is beautifully and practically organised. It's like having all the benefits of a house, but feels like your so much closer to nature. Being effectively "off grid" was such a pleasure. The hot tub was a great extra luxury to enjoy too. The kids had a wonderful time exploring the field and woods and feeding the animals, riding on the pony, Ebony. Our 3 year old son didn't want to leave. Becky and John were great hosts and we definitely plan to return.
