Very good

The experience of living on a country farm with farm animals was loved by the whole family. The farmers cottage was cosy and warm with good facilities. Our family of 5 had plenty of space inside with enough bedding for all. The owner provided a continental breakfast for our stay which was a lovely touch. The kids loved feeding times with the animals and exploring the yard.

Will definitely be back to try one of their other wacky stays!

Loved the unique accommodation (we were in the yurt, unexpectedly warm in winter) and Kevin was there with a big torch. He was very understanding that we were slightly delayed. Also was a great stay with dogs!

An amazing family experience staying in a yurt

The yurt was amazing for a family of 4 plus the additional facilities of the bathroom next door and fully equipped outdoor kitchen.

The musty smell was pretty overpowering

We liked the quirkiness of the accommodation

It was all a bit of a squeeze. OK for one night but not great for a longer stay

I felt very relaxed after our stay here.

It was a perfect wackey stay, we had the house truck, which was probably smaller than the others. It was very clean and well presented inside. The dogs had a good fenced area. It made a welcome change from a motel whilst travelling South. I would highly recommend for the novelty factor.

Internet isn't good but the host knows this and is trying his best to sort it. The TV didn't have channels only a DVD player but you could borrow DVD's.

Not clamping at all.

The host was friendly enough.

The product. The pictures of the yurt and the yurt in real life were chalk and cheese. The yurt had a musty mouldy smell and it was damp. The owner had place humidifier in the tent and said it was how a tent is. The tent needed to be aired. The fridge area was mouldy. It was so dark and dank and not at all inviting.The power hook up is a safety Hazzard. The linen looked so worn and old. The decor look as if it was donated or pick up from people who didn't want the furniture as it was tired and its used by date was well pasted. We choose not to stay the night as our sinuses and eyes were burning and itchy after being in the yurt for 15 mins. Therefore we would not have been able to sleep the whole night in the yurt.We had to book into somewhere else.. The outdoor kitchen did not look clean and had issues with power. I wished I would have read the review by previous reviewer as the pictures and details were 100% correct This was not glamping. The owner thanked us for supporting small business due to covid. He would have known that we did not stay the night as nothing was touched at all. He has not tried to contact us therefore no questions asked. We went with such high hopes only to be disappointed and trying to find alternative accommodation. They are asking decent money for a very poor product.

Wow, my family were apprehensive about staying in a yurt but after our comfortable night want to come back again. Waking up to the llamas right in front of our door was amazing. I would highly recommend Wacky Stays but especially to families.

Loved everything

A fun experience!

Really enjoyed the experience of staying in the yurt. It was cosy and comfortable for 5 of us. Had some cold nights but stayed warm. Beds were comfy and facilities were good.

There's a rooster that went off each morning around 4am

Place to go if you are open for a more adventurous stay in a farm environment. Would do it again any time!

Staying in the converted bus was a great experience and only topped by the opportunity to feed a variety of animals. The place was very peaceful and staff was super welcoming.

The view from the wagon windows.

We felt the place had a very run down feel ie fence around bath falling down. Ripped vallance on bed.. Filthy couch.. Floors poorly vavcumed, & dirty. Thought the llamas needed more hay 2 supplement their diet.
