Liked: Friendly, helpful management and staff. The innovative ways that things are being re-used. The 'back to nature', tranquil feel of the site. Good facilities. We did have an issue and to their credit, Goweco dealt with it brilliantly.
Disliked: One of the other groups on the site were noisy on the first night but Goweco dealt with it really professionally.
Not really a dislike, but the site was a little tricky to find in the dark.

Liked: Found the site easily after the hsot kindly send us photos of the entrance on top of the directions. Beautiful location and we were met promtly on arrival and shown all of the many facilties. We stayed for 2 nights in the Tilda Rice (Converted Horse Box) which was brilliant. there was also a sepearte shower, ktichen and lounge area and decking. But I would say the highlights are the Hot Tub and the camp fire. We had our dog with us a could let him off elad in our proviate compund. There are lotas of lovely pubs and walks near by. we espcially liked the Knepp estate which had pigs and cattle. Cant reccomend enough. Would happily stay again.
Disliked: Nothing really, we jsut were not very good at workign the shower but I think that was us rather than the facilties.

Liked: Hot tub was great. It was great to cook, eat, sleep and shower up close with nature. It is a great idea to have a few units together to allow friends to stay together but also have their own space. There was a communal kitchen with a fridge and oven if you wanted to cheat a bit, which was useful when it rained! Very friendly and welcoming. Owner was very responsive when we made contact.
Disliked: How hard it was to turn the tap on In the kitchen!

Liked: We loved everything about our stay, this place really is a hidden glamping gem and I'm so pleased we booked here for our 2 nights away. We've glamped 6 times now and Goweco is our favourite place, by far! We travel as a family of 3, 1 adult and 2 children and we tend to find that most places accommodate for couples, or larger families, but Vilanelle was the perfect size for us and had everything we could possibly need and more. The pictures on the site do not do it justice, as Vilanelle comes with a large secluded area at the back of the main site, has a private covered and seated gazebo area, a private bath/shower, toilet, well equipped personal kitchen, BBQ, fire pit and there's a variety of outside seating options, so no need to bring camping chairs. When it gets dark, the campsite lights up with fairy lights and makes the whole place look and feel lovely, it has a very peaceful vibe. The owners were friendly and informative when we first arrived and made us feel very welcome. Thank you for a great stay, we loved holidaying at Goweco!
Disliked: There's nothing to dislike about Goweco, it's great!

Goweco Glamping was an amazing experience! If you’re looking for a rustic, cute, cosy but still feels like home experience , you have to book! Myself, partner and 3 friends stayed in Baby bell which has two yurts and a small chalet/hut each with a double bed and a couple of singles. Each bed had comfy bedding and towels and toilets next to each one. This was perfect for us as we used one yurt as a communal sitting area, but could close off for the night separately and have some privacy.
Lisa and Paul made us feel very welcome and showed us how everything worked and where we can get extra supplies if need be. If you are someone who doesn’t really like camping and still wants a bit of ‘home’ , this is the place for you! We had access to a communal kitchen and our own smaller kitchen with a sink, fridge , crockery and cutlery and a gas hob.
Each accommodation came with a small heater and a lamp/ some source of light for the evening and a log burner if you want to use it later when it gets colder. (Yes you have a place to charge your phone if need be!) We also had a hot tub, however we decided not to use it as it rained all weekend ! We will definitely be staying again when the weather gets warmer :)

Stayed here twice - once a couple for a date night and the second time with our twin toddlers and 4 year old. It's simply the best trips we've ever had. So romantic for a couple and amazing for families too. Not a detail they haven't thought of. So perfect and amazingly run. Your own hot tub, campfire, kitchen, shower, toilets, everything you need they've thought of, even down to the blankets and slippers. Recommending to everyone I know right now. Well done to Lisa and Paul who run this incredible haven !

What an amazing experience! My partner and I stayed for 2 nights and wish we had stayed longer.
We arrived on Friday evening to a pre-heated hot tub which we enjoyed under the stars! And again Saturday evening and for sunrise on Sunday morning.
The facilities were excellent, everything we needed was there. Campfire, bbq, hob, cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery and a place to wash up with washing up liquid. We even had a private compost loo and private (hidden) outdoor shower and bath.
Such a great experience and wonderful hospitality from Paul and Lisa.
