Wow, wow, WOW what can we say? We have had the most amazing first six months at our beautiful glamping site here in the Essex countryside.
We opened our doors at the end of June and we have been fortunate enough to be busy ever since. We have welcomed so many wonderful guests, all of which have enjoyed our beautiful pods, the hot tubs, open space, wildlife, the sunshine, frosty mornings and starry nights.
We have shared birthdays, mini moons, anniversary’s, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve celebrations with you and it has been an absolute pleasure to do so. We have offered extra finishing touches like champagne on arrival, balloons, flowers, cake boxes and more, all of which have been welcomed by you, with fabulous feedback for which we are so grateful. Bespoke hampers, birthday cakes, bouquets and even the odd bottle of specially sourced gin! When we say nothing is too much for us, we really do mean it and what fun we have had in doing so.
Our breakfast baskets have been a huge hit, taking the stress out of you bringing your own ingredients to make breakfast.. The Big Green Eggs have been a welcome addition to our decking. Guests have enjoyed cooking on balmy summer evenings but equally, we noticed that they were used continually over Christmas and New Year, just hope you all wrapped up warm! Our BBQ boxes have proved incredibly popular also, let's be honest, who would not love to arrive at a pod to find our own farm sausages, locally sourced beef burgers and chicken kebabs? We include all the extras also, buns, sauces, salads and have been thrilled to hear how much you have enjoyed the produce along with the experience.
Take a look at our socials, where you will find content from the wonderful Nic Williams @meatsmokefire, who came and gave the team at The Partridge a fabulous demonstration on The Big Green Egg. We all enjoyed an afternoon with Nic and his lovely wife Helena, relaxing in the sun and eating delicious food.
We have received wonderful feedback with comments that include, “Beautiful pods”, “So relaxing”, “Couldn’t fault our stay”, “The best place I’ve ever stayed”, “Helpful and friendly staff”, “ We will be returning to stay again” “Didn’t want to leave.” Just a handful of comments which mean the world to us as a start up. We take all your feedback on board and constantly try to improve your experience whilst staying at The Partridge Retreat.
As we embark upon February, we look forward to the promise of longer, lighter days. We will be starting our own spring clean early, giving our pods a refresh and making one or two more significant changes. There are many exciting plans on the horizon for The Partridge, all encompassing our heartfelt ethos of providing you, our customer with the most wholesome and rewarding stay possible. Book your 2025 retreat now and we will ensure it is one to remember!
We look forward to welcoming you (back).
Best Wishes
Team Partridge x
