Flawless wedding in the woods

We had the most incredible time hosting our wedding at Plush Tents. The team based on site were - from the get-go - accommodating, willing and flexible. From the moment we booked our wedding to the final touches on the morning of the ceremony, Plush went above and beyond to ensure our festival-themed wedding in the woods was a great time for all. We are not what you'd call traditional, so the opportunities at Plush ticked a lot of boxes for us. We wanted our friends and family to stay on site, we wanted people to feel like they could escape on their own accord, and we wanted a place where we could really let our hair down. We were able to decorate the site to our taste, bring in external caterers and the plush team even helped us run a bar during the first half of the event. A truly amazing weekend that neither we or our friends will forget ay time soon.

We have just returned from a weekend at Plush Glamping, for my sisters hen party. From start to finish, the whole thing was amazing. Benji and Vince the camp site staff couldn’t have done more for us, and nothing was too much trouble, they even went and got us ice for our cocktails! I will most certainly be returning, and would recommend to anyone! Thanks guys xxx

A truly memorable stay here at Plush tents. Our hurt from Inner Mongolia was spacious, well equipped and great fun. A beautiful oasis with loads of trees, pretty little areas to sit and totally unwind. A very comfy bed with lovely bedding and pillows. Very good quality towels and nice little touches including a full log basket for the wood burning stove. Fantastic bacon in the morning after a hot shower was another bonus. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

Our wedding was simply perfection.

This place is nothing short of magical! Our wedding was simply perfection. What can I say!? The staff “Abbie & Coby” were utterly wonderful and the venue itself was rustic, environmentally friendly & honestly flawless. We will definitely be returning. Simply love everything!

A dream place for a wedding

We booked Plush Tents Glamping Yurt Village as our wedding venue. From the moment we saw it, we knew it was a dream come true location for our special day. Beautiful, peaceful, almost zen like and in the middle of nature. We were greeted with so much warmth and hospitality from the owners and the staff. They were all extremely accommodating, helpful and friendly. You can just feel that this place is a labour of love! We cannot recommend it enough!

Perfect woodland wedding

We just had our wedding at Plush Tents the past week and things literally couldn’t have gone any better! We had a mid-week wedding Wednesday-Friday and we hired out the whole place including all the yurts for our family to stay in. It was incredible, we have made the most fantastic memories that will last a lifetime with our family. Everything from viewing the venue to the execution of the actual day was so well organised and communicated. Leading up to the event we were emailed to check up if

Just spent a fantastic weekend @Plush Tents for an amazing wedding celebration

Made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived, shown around and informed how everything worked. The Airstreams have shower/w.c, cooker, fridge, bed area, dining area, electric and the outside terrace area is perfect for relaxing on after you have used the hot tub!

We transformed the venue into our own little Edwardian Circus Town and we were completely chuffed with how it all turned out.

Darren and I wanted to share our gratitude to Megan and the on site staff at Plush Tents during our wedding weekend and in the year leading up to our covid-postponed wedding. We had a mammoth task setting up and transforming your venue into our own little Edwardian Circus Town and we were completely chuffed with how it all turned out. The versatility of the site allowed for our imaginations to run wild. Thank you for allowing us to have pretty much free reign over your site. We have to give an especially big thank you to Bex and Kobi, who could not help us enough and were there whenever we needed them to move sofas, provide fire wood or shelter when it rained etc, but for the rest of the time left us to our own devices. All our guests felt very comfortable and commented many times at what a treasure your site was, not just for our wedding but as a glamping holiday experience. They all had a wonderful time. Thank you Megan for being there at the end of an email for all my odd questions and requests and accommodating them so proficiently, you are an asset to the company. We would love to come back and visit for a holiday and get some much needed use out of the hot tub.
