Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: Dog friendly, huge pitches, fire pits on every pitch and outdoor sinks with recycling and bins. Great views and walks from the camp site. We were lucky to be the only ones at the campsite so we had private facilities. Good communication with owners. A lovely close to nature campsite with good facilities.
Disliked: No hot water or covered area for dishwashing. No lights in the toilets so bring a torch. Although the campsite has CCTV, we felt a bit exposed (especially as we were the only ones there) as anyone could get onto the site.

Liked: Absolutely loved this little gem. The habit hut was so warm and cosy, bedding, Wood and kitchen items were all provided. It was clear the owners must have stayed or used the hut themselves as its layout just made sense.
Disliked: Everything was perfect.

Liked: Amazing stay at 5 acres in the hobbit hut. We absolutely loved our time here. Staying at the hobbit hut you'll find a large private garden separate from the main site. This garden leads you to the hut, toilet and shelter. The shelter is beautifully crafted and helped us stay cheerful even when the rain came in. Having the firepit underneath it really gives it a cozy feeling. The hut is cozy and surprisingly spacious depending on how many bags you bring. The outdoor kitchen under the shelter has everything you could need, plates, bowls, cutlery, pans for the fire tripod, pans for the gas hob, utensils for cooking. Really great for travelling light. Having the separate flushing toilet nearby is useful too, avoids having to walk all the way out of the private garden and across main site in the middle of the night! Would highly recommend this site. The owners Sarah and Theo were amazing and greeted us on arrival to show us where to park and tell us about the site.

Liked: We had the pleasure of staying in the Hobbit house at 5 acres. This place is truly magical! From the moment we arrived we were greeted by Sarah and her husband who welcomed us and showed us around their beautiful garden. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. The hobbit house itself is like nowhere we’ve stayed before! It’s the perfect blend between being quiet and secluded, whilst also feeling very homely and safe. You have your own very large private garden to explore, with an area to watch the sunset, as well as a beautiful water feature to relax by. Everything is very clean, the bed is comfortable, you have a covered outside area which provides shade in the heat and also plenty of room to keep you dry if it’s raining. A nice sized fire pit to cook on, as well as a gas stove if you’re not feeling too old school. The only thing I was worried about was having a shared shower facility, but the showers are all very clean and high quality, and hot water all the time. So absolutely no issues whatsoever. We didn’t need the log burner in the house as the weather was lovely but we will love to come back during the colder season as I’m sure that will make it even more Cosy and homely! We will certainly be coming back to stay again!
