What customers say
This is a wonderfully located, laid-back farm campsite with stunning views, ideal for walkers. Pitches are spacious and level. Facilities are basic but clean, with hot showers available for a fee. On-site food options and a small shop are appreciated. While many enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, some guests report issues with noise, overcrowding and limited facilities, particularly during busy periods.

Fit for purpose if you are wanting a basic pitch
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Simplicity and you get what you need and paid for. Pitch was well kept and fit for purpose.
Disliked Overall facilities lacked anything above what is bare minimum for a paying customer.
There is a drinking tap, pot washing station and toilet. This is located directly in the middle of the farm grounds, where there is no clear divide between the camp site and the working farm.
The shower incurs a charge at £1 per 3 minutes which is questionable when you pay a fee to be staying on site already.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The overall feel of the camp. The showers and toilet facilities were clean, the shop on site was handy for any last minute bits you might have forgotten. Great location from shops and hikes. Pizza van was a great addition for a nice hot dinner and the owners were very welcoming.
Disliked Not so much a dislike but something to look into- The sign on the gate before entering the field off the main road. The writing could be a bit bigger as we did drive past out of confusion of not wanting to go into the wrong place.
