I stayed in a yurt. This is advertised as ‘Authentic Mongolian’. It isn’t. It has a single skin of fabric, with no insulating felt. This means that it will be very cold unless there is a good source of heat inside. There isn’t. The stove is small and lightweight, rated at about 3kw maximum. This is insufficient for a 24... More

The site was recommended by 'CoolCamping' which swayed me to use Deepdale, but on arrival I was greeted by a rather barren looking campsite backing onto a housing estate. Our particular pitch was overlooked by someone's bedroom ! The site had a 'eco' philosophy and recycling was encouraged although some people did have problems with what rubbish goes where. Toilets...

We stayed in the campsite here over the Easter weekend. The site was recommended in the Cool Camping Guide which is usually pretty good. The site itself comprises about 90 pitches and a collection of yurt's and teepee's. Everything is well laid out if lacking in character a little - it's basically a field with no trees to break things... More

We've just come back from a weekend in a yurt and found the experience excellent. We received very warm service from the staff who went above and beyond to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The on site bike hire is also highly recommended who took time to ensure we were comfortable and made suggestions on routes and places... More

This was our second visit to Deepdale, last time we stayed in one of the tipis and enjoyed it so much we returned again to try a yurt this time. We wanted to book to coincide with the christmas light switch on at Burnham Market as we had been there by chance the year before. I e mailed Deepdale and... More

As a regular here i was disgusted by attitude by staff. I made a booking earlier in the year ( as id done plenty of times before ) but never received a confirmation email. I therefore never turned up and later found out theyd debited my account for staying! I was very angry. Nothing prepared me however for the attitude... More

Two things you expect from a 'Backpackers' hostel: youth and freedom Right at the bottom of the main website page it says "please note our very strict child policy in our terms and conditions before booking". This is actually, the almost laughable, "Strictly no one under 21 without parental supervision." condition. I started staying at the hostel when I was... More
