WiesenBett Chesters

Chesters war großartig. Ellie und ihre Familie waren fantastisch. Die Zelte waren gemütlich und schön. Der Whirlpool war perfekt. Entschleunigen, innehalten und "einfach nur sein" kann man heutzutage nur noch selten. Das Einzige, worum wir uns wirklich kümmern mussten, war, Feuer zu machen, um zu kochen und den Whirlpool zu heizen. Da wir von Deutschland aus geflogen sind und Zeit in den größeren Städten im Süden Schottlands verbracht haben, kamen wir mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln und Taxi nach Chesters. Das bedeutete, dass wir einfach vor Ort blieben. Wir sind zweimal nach Ancrum gelaufen - einmal, um etwas zum Kochen zu besorgen (da es im Bothy nur wenige Lebensmittel gibt) und einmal, um im Ancrum Cross Keys zu Abend zu essen. Mit einem Auto hätte unsere Essensauswahl weniger Camping und mehr Glamping sein können, aber ohne Auto konnten wir auch einfach anhalten und genießen.

Eine unglaubliche Reise von Anfang bis Ende. Ich kam buchstäblich nach Hause und habe gleich wieder gebucht! So viel Spaß und so ein schöner Ort. Ellie ist die perfekte Gastgeberin und war sehr hilfsbereit. Die ganze Gegend ist atemberaubend und das Erlebnis war einfach magisch. Ein fabelhaftes Wochenende.

A magical, beautiful adventure for all ages! Stunning countryside. Loads to do, but also a great place to slow down and unwind. Lovely and attentive host. We will definitely go again

I came here with my partner and my 6 year old daughter. Went at the end of Sept and was really lucky with the weather - mild and dry! There's lots of exploring to be done.. We took fishing rods and a dinghy and had fun on the nearby river as well as foraging for wood and looking for mini beasts. It's such a safe place for children to play. ||We stayed in the 'osprey' tent which is a bit more tucked away. It has all the mod cons, flushing loo and wood fired stove etc. Clean linen and towels provided. Hot tub (No bubbles) was a lovely extra and much utilised along with plenty of gin! The host, Ellie couldn't do enough for us - checking in to make sure we had what we needed. ||The tents are about a 7 min walk from the main car park so if it's muddy you would need wellies! You are supplied with a wheelbarrow to get your things from A to B. ||||It's lovely and clean and you are provided with little extras such as matches, candles and washing up cloth plus you are welcome to go into the cottage garden and pick whatever is in season. My daughter loved the golden raspberries! ||||All in all, a really comfortable enjoyable stay and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

We have loved every second of our family stay at Chesters Featherdown. The perfect place to unwind and enjoy the slower pace of life for a few days. We could not have been made to feel more welcome by Ellie and family, wonderful hosts. We especially enjoyed the harvest in the allotment, swimming in the river and evenings in the hot tub as the sun went down. We will be back.

Chesters comes highly recommended not least because of Ellie who is a fantastic host. The location is beautiful, the perfect family break away from the trappings of modern life. We have now been twice as our kids loved it the first time - the river, the woods, the fruit and veg in the walled garden, the tree house, the open fires and not forgetting the hot tub… love it! We’ll be back.
