BoerenBed Chesters

Chesters was geweldig. Ellie en familie waren fantastisch. De tenten waren comfortabel en mooi. Het bubbelbad was perfect. Het is tegenwoordig zeldzaam om rustig aan te doen, te stoppen en "gewoon te zijn". Het enige waar we ons echt zorgen over hoefden te maken was vuur maken om te koken en het bubbelbad op te warmen. Omdat we vanuit Duitsland vlogen en tijd doorbrachten in de grotere steden in Zuid-Schotland, kwamen we met het openbaar vervoer en een taxi naar Chesters. Dat betekende dat we gewoon op het terrein bleven. We zijn twee keer naar Ancrum gelopen - een keer om eten te halen om te koken (aangezien de bothy erg beperkt is qua eten) en een keer om te eten bij Ancrum Cross Keys. Met een auto hadden we minder kunnen kamperen en meer kunnen glamperen, maar omdat we geen auto hadden, konden we ook gewoon stoppen en genieten.

Absoluut ongelooflijke reis van begin tot eind. Letterlijk thuisgekomen en weer geboekt! Zo leuk en zo'n mooie plek. Ellie is de perfecte gastvrouw en was zo behulpzaam. Het hele gebied is prachtig en de ervaring was gewoon magisch. Fantastisch weekend.

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.
