“Staying at Ptarmigan feels like stepping into a truly serene escape, with glamping pods thoughtfully designed to maximize the peaceful surroundings and capitalise on the excellent views across the fields where the resident horses and donkeys graze. I found the attention to detail, from the well-equipped kitchenettes to the comfortable sleeping arrangements, made for a thoroughly considered stay. It's a place that offers a genuine sense of quietude and a charming connection to the countryside.”
