What customers say
A peaceful, welcoming site with spacious, level pitches, many offering hardstanding and on-pitch water/electric. Visitors frequently highlight the delightful donkeys and other animals, alongside friendly and helpful staff. The location is praised for its convenience to the NEC and nearby amenities, including pubs and canal walks. While the site is a work in progress with ongoing improvements, some guests note road noise and the absence of toilet/shower facilities.

Lovely location, the site was…
Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Lovely location, the site was clean and tidy. Friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend. The staff were very passionate about the care of the donkeys and other animals they had in their care. There was also works in progress to provide more facilities, which didn't effect our stay.

Perfect all round stopover.
Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Ease of arriving at a later time then expected.
Beautiful spot.
Watching the very cute animals!
15 minute drive to NEC.
Disliked The electricity meter ‘reset’ after we unplugged to head out. We had only spent £5 (but defo not used it) so no real drama. Just topped it up again.

Anonymous Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Pitch sizes and outlook very good with electric and water at each pitch. Plenty of room. Grass and stone area at each pitch. Very close to Knowle and Dorridge for food shopping, restaurants, cafes etc. Lots of entertainment watching the donkeys and alpacas. Staff friendly and helpful.
Disliked Lack of toilets and shower block although this is made clear before booking.
