2 night break for de-stressing

Easily booked and communications quickly replied to. Peaceful location but with excellent facilities. Also a new toilet and shower room 20 yards away which was a definite bonus. Love Bug had privacy from other properties. Don't expect all mod cons, it is what is advertised but really special experience

Quirky and wholesome!

The hosts were beyond friendly and helpful! Wanted to stay somewhere different, but with proper facilities and we got exactly that. Although thr ad says outdoor shower, there was a brand new little canin with toilet, sink and shower that was only ours to use. Came equipped with bbq, outdoor seating, fire pit and of course the hot tub! The weather was great for us but thr hot ub had a cover which would have saved our butts had it been as rainy as it has been! Great stay and have already recommended the spot to lots of people! Big shout out to Gillian for being so accommodating, we are so appreciative! We'll be back for sure 😊

Best weekend away we've ever had.

What a fantastic site, It had everything we wanted, great accomodation including hot tub, chimnea & barbecue. Outside area was very private & a great view as we sat & relaxed. Property owners were also extremely friendly & helpful. Would rate it 10 out of 10 & 5 stars for everything. We couldn't have asked for more & we've already booked our next stay there.

Fab break in quirky accomodation

Can't fault our 2 night break at this lovely Camper van. The site was amazing with brilliant facilities. Swimming pool and games room lovely but best of all was yhe wood fired hot tub. Gillian the host was so welcoming and showed us some of the other accommodation too. We have recommended to all family and friends and we will definitely be back as we didn't want to leave this wonderful place.

Lovely stay in The Love Bug !

We were met by young James who showed us everything we needed to know about the location and our choice of accommodation, the Bedford Camper Van, Love Bug. All in all a great experience - we used the pool which was fine - the outdoor shower was brilliant but having access to a separate shower and toilet area was a bonus. Perhaps 4 nights inside the camper van was too much and when we stay again we would definitely upgrade to a larger unit if staying more than a couple of nights. Hot tub was a winner but do allow 40/45 minutes to heat up properly - being in there with a drink and watching the sunset was a great feeling ! Can highly recommend The General Tarleton (less than 5 minutes walk away) for drinks and food - great place and service. The Blue Bell, in the opposite direction, is a five minute drive away and serves the best breakfast in the area ! We would stay in Ferrensby again and definitely at this lovely, quirky place.

It was lovely, the manager was lovely and we enjoyed all the quirks of the place. If and when we come game we would definitely get something a little bigger just for the bubbling hot tubs. We would also come again with the extended family.

I LOVE IT HERE

When can I move in? I just love staying in the Love Bug, with the animals close by, being outdoors, even showering outside. It’s amazing. David and Gillian are so accommodating, approachable and have thought of everything with their little gem of a site. I’ll be back for round 3 soon I’m sure! Xx

Our stay was everything we had hoped for

Lovely quirky camper van comfy and cosy. The hot tub and outside area were lovely with gorgeous views. The outside shower was amazing, so refreshing. The shower pod with sink and toilet was a god send as the camper toilet cubical is tiny. Fantastic hosts, very peaceful relaxing weekend. We did not want to leave.
