What customers say
This is a well-maintained and clean campsite, praised for its beautiful views, peaceful atmosphere and spacious pitches. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. The on-site farm is a highlight for families with young children. However, some visitors noted that the toilet and shower facilities can be limited during busy periods, and the outdoor play area is only accessible with farm entry.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The view. The quietness. Big pitches. All very tidy in appearance.
Disliked The showers and toilets were like the kind you see when builders are converting a property and sit a portaloo outside. Tiny and no way of dressing after a shower without wetting your clothes. Clean so it was fine. £6 for WiFi seemed excessive after the plot fee.

Electric grass pitch
Liked The place was lovely. It was very clean, it had maintenance on the site all the time. All the staff were lovely and helpful. Was a lot of open space for the kids to play. The farm on site was lovely and plenty to do for all my boys ages 2,6 and 13. The food was also lovely in the play area. Would definitely return.
Disliked My only down side was the price of the farm and play area. As it is literally where you camp and when you have a very challenging 6 year old that wants to go play in the play area and on the outdoor park all the time it’s hard to explain that yes the park is right there but you have to pay for the farm to go play on it. We did pay twice to go on the farm but once we went back to the tent after the farm closed my child was still wanting to play on the outdoor park which wasn’t accessible and had signs stating you’d be asked to leave if anyone was seen on it. I know it’s not a major issue at all, it just would be lovely if the outdoor park was accessible until later on and open especially on the light summer nights.

Only a small outdoor, uncovered washing up area
We had no electricity for a couple of hours and nothing was communicated to us.
