Baby Moon

Visited this week with 3 friends to enjoy some rest and relaxation. We booked Apothecary accommodation a wooden yurt with beautiful interior, comfortable beds, bed linen, and gorgeous tea lamps everywhere. We also booked the hot tub which was magical in the woods. There is toilet block with shower and kitchen area with double stove, crockery and sink etc. Overall the babymoon experience is wonderful, they provide everything you need and some lovely extras!

My friend was having a party at baby moon and we agreed to stay over night with children. It was a good venue for the party. The fire pit was nice and the field was large enough for the children to play. The downsides were that the site was untidy and rundown. There had just been a storm but this was long term untidy. Stuff all over that would be hazards for children, open shipping containers and old bits of bbq for example. The toilets and showers were very small and in bad condition. No locks on the doors, dirty. The accommodation is mixed. The round shed was very nice. The tents are mouldy and damp. The huts didn’t seem quite as damp. Our bedding was dirty, the accommodation smelt damp, one the children started a bug hunt and was telling me how many spiders and creepy crawlers he’d found inside our accommodation. It was very dusty and looked rundown. It improved when we had the fire on but that required maintenance and was difficult to keep the children safe around it. The matches were damp, we didn’t have fire lighters but found some in another hut. There wasn’t much wood left in the hut and the outside wood was soaking wet. There was not enough parking for the party and it caused a hazard on the road at one point. So that’s something for large party’s to consider. There was also more road noise than I’d expect for a rural retreat. I hear less road noise in my own garden. Overall I think it has a lot of potential and maybe was once really nice. It’s just not been maintained though and looks messy and shabby. It was an interesting experience staying here, but not one I will be repeating.
