Nice to stay in a place offering so much natural diversity whether that’s the free roaming chickens that are fun to feed, the cows on the nearby field to interact with and the stay even has fruit ready to pick on nearby trees.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (no pets)
Liked We came for a piece and quiet break.
It's a perfect place for exactly that.
Fed the chickens and watched the cows in the field next to us 🙂
Nothing was a problem from the owner, he was extremely helpful and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay.

Amazing site, a very special place. We will be coming back!
Non-electric grass tent pitch (pet friendly)
Liked A wonderful campsite, very well thought out. We loved seeing the chickens, ducks & cows. James is such a lovely owner, he showed us around personally & has so many plans to develop the site. He also delivered us some eggs for breakfast that were laid on site. He really went above and beyond. The fire pit and seating area for each pitch was a lovely addition.
We will 100% be coming back. Our little chihuahua loved it too; the dog friendly area of the field was fantastic.
Disliked We struggled to find any shade on the field, which made things tricky on a hot day.
Also, we have a very small dog, who slipped through the wire fence into the neighbouring cow field, luckily we got her back easily. Completely our fault, just something to keep in mind if you have a little dog.
