The Telegraph - Travel Supplement (January 2018)
...our all-time family favourite is The Dandelion Hideaway, glamp-site on a dairy goat farm in Leicestershire. Boho chic interiors with comfy sofas, Aga’s, showers and four-poster beds keep mum and dad happy. Our kids, aged 13 & 10, got to feed chickens, collect eggs, milk goats, groom ponies, build fires and go a bit feral in the woods. Perhaps most important, we had the luxury of being able to relax enough to let the children get bored enough to start making up their own fun. And isn’t that what family-friendly holiday memories are made of?

The Guardian (September 2013)
“Days float by and by the end of the week we have pared down daily life to that of a natural hedonist, enjoying the simplicity of living in a field – albeit in a luxury canvas cottage. We gather at dusk in the fading light to spy on deer, foxes and badgers emerging from their daytime cover, reclaiming their native realm.”
