Bamff Ecotourism

Bamff is an inspiring experience The perfect envioriment for getting back to nature for a peaceful holiday, and also to observe nature being allowed to revert back to its earlier existence. Bamff is apealing to everyone we are not experts but enjoy being in a rural setting. We stayrd for 4 nights, but this was not long enough explore everything the is to see and absorb. But that is the nature of the place, there is always something new and unpredicable to enjoy, from the Cuckoo and the red squirrel, to the pigs ,who lke a good scratch, and the ponies with their foals careering over the fields. And ofcourse there are beavers where booking a walk with the owners, Paul and Louise, who are delightful, and dedicated to their project makes the visit more worthwhile.

Environnement nature exceptionnel Séjour de 3 nuits dans Old Brew. Simplement merveilleux. Hôtes charmants, maison très bien équipée et très propre. Calme absolu. Idéal pour se ressourcer, marcher en pleine nature. Rivière à castors à 10 mn à pied. A ne pas manquer à la tombée du jour, avec silence et respect pour la nature sauvage qui se révèlera alors à vous. Sachez la mériter. Elle le vaut bien !

We stayed in north yurt which was advertised as ‘luxury’ on the website. I’m not sure that’s how I would describe it. Great for people who want to get back to nature but not luxury. No electric in the yurt which we weren’t prepared for. Also no WiFi or mobile signal so quite hard to contact anyone or do any research on the local area. The hosts were friendly and clearly enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Paul showed us around and was happy to answer any questions. Unfortunately I think the yurts may be better suited to a summer visit as my belongings are now permeated with a smell of damp despite having the wood burner lit. The wild lands walk along the beaver trail was very interesting and we saw the beavers twice, as well as seeing a lot of their activity (gnawed trees etc) which was interesting. All in all probably excellent for someone from the city who wants to escape the rat race and get back to nature, but not the experience we were expecting from our booking.
