Just returned from a wonderful 3 night stay - what a special place. The tent and whole private area was beyond our expectations- so much space and we weren’t expecting our own hot tub and discovery tent! Kids (4 and 2) and grown ups had a truly wonderful time. Will be recommending to all the families i know!

Chesters was great. Ellie and family were fantastic. The tents were comfy and nice. The hot tub was perfect. To be able to slow down, stop and "just be" is rare these days. All we really had to worry about was making fire to cook and heat up the hot tub. Since we flew from Germany and spent time in the bigger cities in southern Scotland, we came with public transport and taxi to Chesters. That meant we just stayed on site. We walked to Ancrum twice - once to get some food to cook (since the bothy is very limited in food) and once to have dinner at Ancrum Cross Keys. With a car, our food choices would've been able to be less camping and more glamping, but not having a car also allowed us to just stop and enjoy.
