The sort of place where you wake to birdsong and proper tea in china cups, Rainbow Ridge sits somewhere between a traditional guest house and a tucked-away rural retreat with camping pods dotted about the grounds.
It suits couples after a cosy base for walking holidays, anyone who fancies a pod stay without completely roughing it, and dog owners willing to ask ahead — there's flexibility here rather than a blanket ban. The guest house rooms give you the full bed-and-breakfast experience, while the pods offer that halfway-house appeal for campers who want four walls and a door that locks. It's open all year, so works for windswept winter weekends as much as summer rambles.
Check the campfire rules when you arrive — they vary depending on conditions and where you're pitched. Facilities aren't shouted about in the blurb, so best to ask what's available when you book. Expect a quiet, personal kind of stay rather than a bustling campsite scene — more like staying at someone's well-loved smallholding than a commercial pitch.
