What customers say

Ilex Farm is a peaceful campsite set in picturesque surroundings, praised for its friendly and helpful owners and well-maintained facilities, including new and spotless shower and toilet blocks. Many enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, lovely views, and proximity to walking routes and local attractions. While some noted basic amenities and the absence of washing-up facilities, these are being addressed. Initial teething problems with the new toilet block have been resolved.

Ella M.

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely site, the optional electric hookup is a nice bonus and the showers/toilets were so clean. The only minor complaint is that the shower only seemed to run warm for a few seconds at a time, but I might have just timed it wrong so maybe there wasn't much hot water.

Helen T.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked Beautiful location, plenty of space per pitch. Facilities were immaculate and enjoyed the sign asking guests to take good care of the space with provision of the tools needed to keep the space clear. Tap was conveniently close. Hookup worked a treat. Was greeted by the lovely friendly owner who showed us to our pitch and gave us instructions on how best to be oriented to maximise the space for all campers. Was not bothered by any insects - probably the least midgies we’ve ever encountered. Also really enjoyed being surrounded by horses in the nearby fields. Would definitely stay here again

Disliked Nothing would absolutely camp here again. Thank you for a lovely stay

Francesca M.

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked Loved the location, beautiful views and horses to talk to. What else could you ask for!
Clean toilets and showers.
I'd like to add, that you don't need a 60m electric hook up cable, and there are bins and recycling on site.

Disliked On the first tier level the pitches are small, definitely not the 6 meter gap between your neighbours that is recommended on campsites.
Bins over full, may attract vermin.

Daniel W.

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked Having just brought a Motorhome wanted to have a break in it locally and try it out. Ilex Farm suited perfectly quiet setting on a stables and riding school with picturesque views around. Facilities basic, electric hookup, water and toilet service point. Brand new spotless WC & Shower unit (3 cubicles). Site is small; dozen or so pitches.

However me and my wife found the setting perfect for our planned BH break which was also her birthday. Lovely farm shop and coffee shop at Stretton (walking across fields on Bridle path) Also lovely walks to Ogston reservoir nearby too. Which also was great as had two dogs with us on our stay.

Disliked No fault of site but either need to come equipped or willing to drive out to get supplies.
