Sandvilla Gril hut is truly a magical and incredible experience. Jessica and Lee are such wonderful and accommodating hosts. We couldnât have had a better time if we tried! Everything... read more about this place is perfect, the hut itâs self is so cosy and beautifully decorated, the open fire for cooking is so much fun to us and the cookbooks provided were extremely helpful and lead to excellent nacho making! Although you are on a campsite the whole experience felt so private and secluded, feeding the alpacas was brilliant they are so friendly! Lee and Jess really have thought of everything to make the stay truly wonderful. We canât thank them enough.

Absolutely fab place to stay. Jess and Lee are so lovely, welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We visited the butchers at Lancaster Leisure Park, along with the 40,000sq... read more ft of antiques and collectables place. The lancaster Brewery was so great too, treating ourselves to some amazing beers. We visited Blackpool for a day, then the Lake District, driving through Hardknots Pass... That was a bit hairy. And we went to Morecombe Bay in an evening. The alpacas/sheep and chickens were so funny and great to feed. We cooked delicious steaks, alabama pork shops and coffee and pepper chicken skewers all from the Lancaster butchers. Enjoyed beers and Gin by the fire and ate outside at the little table. Fabulous stay, very relaxing, cozy and we were lucky to have the weather too! We would recommend this place in a flash. Thank you Jess and Lee.

Perfect little cosy cabin we had booked for the bank hol weekend đ„° pictures do not do this place justice itâs absolutely unreal and having the alpacas right on your... read more doorstep is such a bonus as theyâre so fluffy, friendly and cute, I couldnât stop laughing at them, the brown one was my fave!! Cannot fault this place at all it had everything you may need down to the T. The fire pit was amazing better in person and we cooked steaks we bought locally the first night on the open fire and hired a pizza oven from Jess on the second night where we made garlic bread and margarita pizzas. So quiet and private considering the location and what else is around you. The outdoor swing is lovely I had a bacon bun and a brew in the morning sat on the swing!! Also the shower is second to none definitely an amazing experience to try.
Hosts on hand via a quick message. We will definitely be back , thank you so much for a perfect weekend đ„°

when we arrived the grill hut was open and ready for us to make ourselves at home. the grill hut is super cosy and even given the "lovely" British weather... read more (rain and wind) it didn't disrupt our stay at all. if anything it made it better. snuggled up by the fire pit.
the animals are super friendly and very characteristic. hope the lil brown alpaca gets well soon though x
making pizzas was a lovely little touch and really fun to do together.
we enjoyed a lovely local walk with beautiful scenery.
and probably one of the best nights sleep we had.
thank you so much for a lovely, memorable night away x

Absolutely amazing stay at the Grill Hut. Jess was on hand via text for anything we needed and the wood âshopâ was right outside the door. We didnât have cash... read more but Jess provided bank details so it wasnât an issue. We were wondering what we would need to take but there is everything you need to cook and the shower was better than most hotels I have stayed in. There is an under counter fridge to store plenty of food and drinks. Feeding the llamas was a blast and feed was provided on arrival. Thank you Jess, will definitely be back! đ

Our stay at this charming wooden hut was nothing short of magical. Tucked away in a peaceful setting, it combined rustic beauty with thoughtful comforts, creating a cozy haven. The... read more craftsmanship of the hut impressed us, with every detail adding to its warm ambiance.
Interacting with the friendly animals on-site was a delightful highlight, bringing smiles and a unique touch to our day. The hosts' inclusion of thoughtful 'positive supplies' showcased their commitment to both guest experience and sustainability.
I wholeheartedly recommend this enchanting retreat. It's perfect for those seeking tranquility or a quaint base for outdoor adventures. Our experience was rejuvenating and would visit again.

Beautiful space we really enjoyed our stay. Very cozy and had nice little touches like the provided marshmallows, sweets, wine and chocolate. Note that the toilets/showers are outside so may... read more be a problem if staying in the colder months and of course lots of spiders/slugs which canât be helped but something to bare in mind. Overall we would definitely recommend.

What a magical stay in the coziest, cutest accommodation! We loved every second, pictures do not reflect how truly tranquil this place is. Fabulous pubs and eateries all around (We... read more loved the Patten Arms!) We looked forward to feeding the alpacas Evey day, and made use of the little "Shop", bringing home some alpaca wool for 50p! Very welcomed relaxing break. Would recommend to anyone.

The BBQ hut is amazing and beautiful little space, well I say little it has apple room for 2 people to sleep and we have six people in there sat... read more round the fire eating and drinking it was simply lovely and beautiful space. Again everything has been thought of all you need is food, towels and clothes and you wouldnât need to leave the hut. Itâs beautiful and warm relaxing and beautiful furnished highly recommend for a romantic couple get away or like us if your family is staying in the Belle tent brilliant family getaway. We went for a lovely walk at the local nature reserve aswell which was nice but thereâs plenty to do local otherwise relax and just enjoy the animals feeding the alpacas was one of the highlights of our stay thanks again for a great visit we will be back for sure x

Absolutely fantastic weekend in the grill hut! Loved every minute and wouldn't hesitate to return.
Jessica was an amazing host, offered early check in, made sure we had everything... read more we needed for the stay and even left some complimentary ales from the local brewery!
The hut was clean, cosy and warm, even though the rain barely stopped on our second day!
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique getaway.

It is hard to find fault with our stay at the grill hut. Everything from the private alpaca farm to the cosy cottage with the indoor barbecue just blew us... read more away. Put all that together with amazing hosts who would go the extra mile to make their guests happy (especially Hattie, who welcomed us and showed us around) makes this place the best weâve ever stayed at. We will definitely book again and cannot recommend enough!

Located on what is essentially a caravan park. Busy, noisy road which kept us up for most of the night. No real communication beforehand without prompts, but check-in was pretty... read more straightforward. Some of the reviews mentioned pizza etc and we were not offered any of these options. It was basically a warmer, comfier option to camping for us. Nothing more, nothing less. It was a 4.5 hour drive for us, so we had hoped for better, but we made the best of it.

The shower was amazing too and a proper flushing toilet - really special.
Highly recommend. Cannot wait to return in... read more the winter when we can make the most of the internal bbq.

We have 3 unique glamping experiences for you and your families, each unit is set within its own private area and all units have electric, heating, private toilets/showers and much more.
You might want to get back to nature in our Scandinavian style grill hut, which hosts an indoor fire pit for cooking and entertaining.
Or for a little bit more luxury book into one of our 2 pods and enjoy an outdoor hot bath looking out at the alpacas.
With a great communal playing space in our field for the children we hope you can sit back relax and enjoy switching off.
