It's a little diamond in the rough.
Electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked So relaxing, even on a working farm. The family that run this place are lovely. The other people on the site are lovely too.
They send you the proper way to get to them via email. And if you get a little lost, they will answer the phone.
Disliked The sat nav sends you the wrong way.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked First time camping, two adults and two dogs. So peaceful and beautiful. Walked to the Ash Tree Inn for dinner where deer crossed our path. Saw shooting stars. You camp around a wild patch so nobody is in front of you. Clean facilities and hot shower!!
Disliked Not a dislike but when we go again we will take ear plus to block out the cockerels' early morning wake up call. 😂. A very bumpy track to the site but someone made it in a Fiat 500.

Liked Amazing host who was extremely accommodating and helpful when our camper broke down.
Beautiful views, and set up means you have space and privacy

Woodland is perfect for a more secluded trip, ideal for adults.
Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (woodland)
Liked Clean bathrooms, good shower (only one), secluded pitch (woodland), built in fire pit. Nikki was lovely! Right on walking trails so ideal for walking

A great site if you enjoy being a little more remote than most.
Electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Location was great, pitch size was good, mostly level, and we weren't crowded at all. Clean and tidy facilities with all we needed. We met the owner, who was really friendly too.
Disliked Early morning wake up from the resident cockerels, and the approach from the main road is a little precarious. We managed it in our little T6 but its a fairly long working farm track, that is rutted in places, so progress getting to and from the pitch was slow and dusty.

Lovely place great host.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The location, its a charming little site on top a hill. The remoteness is great. A very peaceful place. The night sky was amazing due to no light pollution nearby. Saw shooting stars, satellites and planets easily by eye. Great shower and freezer to chill down ice blocks.
Disliked Rooster wake up call could get too much for a longer stay, but that's the joys of a farm campsite.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Gardner’s Farm is a lovely spot for a camping getaway. It’s very dog-friendly, which made our trip even more enjoyable. The toilets and shower block were clean and well-maintained, which is always a big plus when camping. There’s plenty of flat space for pitching tents, so finding a good spot was easy.
Disliked The only thing to mention was the track leading to the site, which is quite bumpy—worth keeping in mind if you’re arriving with a low car. Other than that, it’s a peaceful and welcoming place to stay.

My new favourite site in this area
Electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Plot size, ambiance and general freedom. You’re not crammed in next to each other here - it’s a great place to be. The pub (30 mins up the lane) is my new favourite. And one of the few site that are truly dog friendly and not just dog tolerant. My two loved it.
Disliked If I was being picky, the shower and toilets could be better. But it’s really not that bad.
