Glamping gold for Durrell

Monday 14 September 2015

Durrell are very happy "glampers" after being awarded the highest AA rating for their Wildlife Camp.

An Inspector camped out at the park this summer and gave it 5 Green Penants and says it was one of the best glamping sites he has ever inspected.

Inspector Colin Church said: “From the moment I entered Durrell Wildlife Camp I knew this was going to be something special. The future for glamping is going to be all about improving levels of service and standards and Durrell is certainly at the forefront of this trend.

“Ashley and his team go out of their way to ensure their guests have a most memorable stay on this wonderful campsite – every family should visit Durrell!”

The camp that's nestled in the Park, was set up in 2012 with 12 luxury pods with their own facilities and views of Lemur Lake. Guests get free entry to the Park and can sign up to special dusk hours hosted by Durrell's keepers and to go "behind the scenes". 

There's no question of guests roughing it -  the Camp is equipped with all the creature comforts including a wood burning stove, personal open sun deck, private shower facilities and a separate kitchen.

Durrell’s Accommodation Manager Ashley Mullins said: “It’s all about the personal touch at Durrell Wildlife Camp. We work very hard to make sure each and every guest has an unforgettable experience. We go out of our way to ensure our guests are happy and our service is second to none.

“We’re so pleased with our AA rating – it reflects the high levels of customer service and standards that we provide.”
