What customers say
This glamping site offers cosy, well-equipped pods with friendly hosts and beautiful rural views. Guests praise the cleanliness, peaceful atmosphere, and thoughtful touches like marshmallows for the fire pit. It's a great base for exploring and enjoying farm life, with animals on site. Some minor issues with water quality and pod space for larger groups have been noted, but overall, visitors highly recommend it and many plan to return.

Had a great weekend.
Camping pod
Liked It was really great, nice and peaceful even though it's a farm and there are animals like sheep, goats and pigs. Which weirdly enough didn't seem to disturb you. The pods are great and the farm is pretty central to quite alot of the different places you can visit.
Disliked Nothing

From the manager: Hi John,
Thankyou for your review it was nice meeting you all. we are so happy you all enjoyed your stay and we met your son standards. Yes we agree the milk is loverly. It’s nice to hear you wasn’t woke up by the animals as they can be very noisy before breakfast.

Best stay ever ❤️
Camping pod
Liked We’re a family of 6 and stayed in 2 pods for 2 nights. We absolutely loved it. Everything about Slate House Farm is just wonderful - it’s quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. The views from the pod are stunning. Toni and her family were unbelievably welcoming - spending time with us to explain about her animals and the farm. We all loved being able to get close to the animals & being able to feed them was a highlight. The play area with football goals and trampoline was a bonus for my 4 kids. The farm shop onsite was also a fab addition - and I must recommend the fresh milk and icecream, just delicious. The pods themselves were small and cosy- but have everything you need for a comfortable stay. We absolutely loved sitting round the fire pit on a night telling stories and eating toasted marshmallows. Honestly one of my favourite weekends away ever- I would 100% recommend and we will definitely be back. Thank you so much Toni

Camping pod
Liked Absolutely stunning location, easy to get to great staff on site, lovely clean cabin with everything you need to get you going
Disliked The only thing I will mention was water was a little brown but assuming with it being a farm it will be and shower loses pressure but really can’t complain

Liked Where do I even begin? This place truly deserves 11 out of 10 stars! ⭐ From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, everything was absolutely perfect. The glamping pod was spotless, cosy and equipped with everything we needed. The surroundings were peaceful and beautiful, and we loved meeting the sheep,pigs and horses. Our dogs had the best time too! The hosts were incredibly kind, welcoming and helpful. This is honestly one of the best places we've ever stayed, and we'll definitely be back. Thank you for making our stay so special! ❤️🐑🐴🐶
