"It was amazing to get away from things in these beautiful woods.

Alex made us fantastic meals and cocktails using foraged ingredients which I had no idea were edible, let alone so delicious! We loved making pottery around the fire, and we were very cosy in our tent with our hot water bottles - one of many little touches which made the weekend so special.

Thanks again,

Catherine"
