“Peace, nature and a true feeling of freedom ❤️”
Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Absolutely everything.
We’ve stayed here twice now and we’ll definitely be back! ❤️
We’ve visited quite a few campsites this year, but nowhere else has given us the same feeling of freedom and total relaxation. A beautiful, proper English farm with horses, goats, nature, amazing views and incredible peace and quiet. No unnecessary fuss or endless rules — just respect the place and enjoy the freedom.
A campfire in the evening, sounds of the farm in the morning, a lovely host and a really fair price.
If you love wild camping, nature, peace and, most of all, that feeling of freedom, this place is an absolute gem. We love it! ❤️
Disliked Nothing at all – we loved everything about our stay.

Great site, great views.
Rail camping pod
Liked Everything, this is not an understatement, we loved the site, the rustic feel and working farm with the animals roaming freely was brilliant. Louise was excellent and very helpful when we arrived "I am the reception" was the response when we asked where reception was, which made us laugh.
She brought us a fire pit, and gave us a nice detailed description of the site along with some history of the old railway line, she pointed us in the direction of the village which was a lovely little walk through forrest and woodland (in a straight line as an old railway would suggest)
We stayed in the George railway cart, which was adequate and was exactly what we expected, minimalist could be a good word, basic could be another but we loved it nonetheless.
Disliked Didn't really dislike anything with the site, you cant complain about cockerels in the morning (even if they wake you at 5am and keep making lots of noise - its part of the experience)
If i were to name one thing and it would be the lack of plug sockets in the glamping pods/railway cars. But this isnt really an issue at all because there is a space to charge things, if you dont mind leaving your phone in a room unattended, otherwise bring a battery bank with you.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Loved everything about the site! From fussing the farm dogs as they wonder round to check on everyone to feeding the pigs wind fallen apples, this place ticked every box for me!!
Bumping into the goats at dusk did make me jump the first night but I soon got used to them and the resident couple of ducks.
Louise is a wonderful host, extremely friendly and happy to chat!
Where facilities are listed as back to basics, I’ve stayed on worse air b&b properties for a much higher price!
Showers were hot, toilet paper always filled up, hand soap provided…… honestly, just book! :0)
It’s always so wonderful to be away from the hum of traffic, with only the occasional aeroplane in the distance but the excitement of an owl hooting nearby always makes me smile.
On a clear night, light a fire and watch layer upon layer of stars appear, it’s quite spectacular!
Disliked Nothing!
