We brought our caravan here for the weekend and had an amazing time! Even with work going on around the park, you can already see how fantastic it’s going to be once everything is finished.

The owners and staff were brilliant—present around the site, making sure everything was okay, So helpful and friendly throughout our stay.

We’ll definitely be back and can’t wait to see it when it’s all complete! Thanks again, The Huntingtons.

6-7th dec Christmas market

Absolutely shocking attended the Christmas market as a small business stall holder paid over the odds weeks in advance to be here with a promise of a very high footfall for sales the place was dead on the first day we was made to close up 2 hours early because multiple other stall holders left 1 day early and the organisers was concerned the market wouldn’t look very good to any public coming in with it been empty and people packing up to leave because of the false claims made by the company prior to booking there stall. A lot of other stall holders complained NO refund allowed! The second day at the event was even worse then the first day would not recommend at all waste of time and out of pocket

Hi Sara Jane, I am sorry that you had such a bad experience, however, we are only holiday lodge owners on the park and have no involvement with the running of the park or events. I have passed on your feedback to the event manager and trust that he will respond to you in due course.

We were the first to purchase a Lodge at Galtres and there were teething problems which were overcome with the help from Andrew and Zak.We have since upgraded twice and are very comfortable in our Hawthorn de luxe which is unique with its timber framed front.We have stayed several times and each time we have seen more Lodges sold and improvements to the site on every occasion.
You will never find another site in England with as much room between the Lodges and once fully landscaped will be amazing.Once the Bar/restaurant are in place along with pre booked events,this place will be second to none.
Thanks again to Andrew and Zak,always available to help,who work tirelessly to please and who we now class as friends.
"Rome wasn't built in a day" keep up the good work.Mick and Deb X

So good to hear that other owners at Galtres Retreat love the park. We think it's a lovely place for our guests to stay.

A peaceful place and luxurious lodge

A really comfortable lodge for us all and so pleased we came! It's well appointed and seeing some deer not far from our bedroom window one morning was a nice treat! I'd book this place again.
