We Stayed at Squirrel Den for a week with a 7 year old and two 5 year old girls. Perfect for them - comfy room, outside space to play in and explore, and daily visits from the local red squirrels. Everyone enjoyed the stay very much

The Squirrel log cabin was perfect for our little getaway. It was so peaceful and quiet. I skateboard so having the option to get a session in with Hamish every morning was ideal. I had some big expectations from what I wanted from the instructor led sessions, but Hamish brought me back to getting on top of the basics to enable me to achieve what IRead more wanted to. We thoughtfully enjoyed our long weekend away from the daily grind! Hide

We had a brilliant stay in the squirrel den at camp corve. Beautiful cabin with comfy beds and a lovely private outside area. We enjoyed having our own fire pit outside toasting marshmallows. A lovely place to stay and near some of the most beautiful beaches Ive seen. Our favourite being Compton bay. My Husband was particularly happy with the onsitRead moree skatepark which he really enjoyed. My son took skate boarding lessons with Hamish and he was amazing with him. Thank you for a brilliant stay! Hide

We had an awesome time staying at Camp Corve. The cabin is comfy and cosy, we watched red squirrels from inside and enjoyed doing yoga on the deck and lighting fires each night. The skate park on site is awesome, and we really enjoyed doing the public sessions and organising some private ones too.
