What customers say
Visitors praise the peaceful woodland camping experience and the opportunity to interact with friendly farm animals, including feeding sessions. Hosts Maria and David are consistently described as welcoming and accommodating. Facilities, including toilets and hot showers, are generally found to be clean and functional. The site's rural setting and proximity to walks are also highlighted as positives. While some mention basic, "back to basics" amenities, this is often seen as part of the farm's rustic charm. A few reviewers noted issues with damp firewood or the condition of pitches during off-season, with one solo camper expressing concerns about safety when sharing the woodland area with other guests.

Liked Fantastic as always. This was our 3rd visit and we are already planning our next trip.
If you don’t like nature, peace and quiet and animals then this is not the place for you!!! This is a farm campsite and its rustic charm is the reason we keep returning.
