4 star Glamping and Gold Award again!

This week we received our latest assessment report from Visit England. We are delighted that we have retained our Gold Award for the fourth year in a row with our highest ever assessment score of 88%.

Teresa, Visit England's assessor, said "Blackdown Yurts continues to present to a high standard. Following this year's assessment visit and change from the Accreditation scheme to Star Rating scheme, the site achieves a high scoring Four Star Glamping Rating and well deserved Gold Award. The glamping yurts continue to provide a very comfortable standard of accommodation and the whole site and range of facilities appear to be very well maintained."

Breaking down the categories we were awarded 5 stars for pre-arrival and arrival information, 5 stars for quality and condition of beds, bedding and bed linen and 5 stars for cleanliness across the whole site. We were awarded 4 stars for exterior look and the grounds, bathrooms, kitchen, living space and lighting and heating. 

Teresa noted that "each yurt is well spaced with hedge planting further enhancing privacy". Also that there is "plenty of colour in the many planters, more trees planted and rewilded areas."
