Liked: Good location; far enough from everything to be quiet and feel secluded, but close enough to buy any things that mightve been forgotten. Stables fitted with kitchen and a portaloo next door. Plenty of space for privacy even if other people are using the field. Lovely views. Didnt see anyone else there except a family using one of the bell tents. So its perfect if you like being left alone.
Disliked: Satnav took me to a closed off lane and had to find my own way to the farm, which they did state on their page, i just didnt read it until after id arrived. So entirely my own fault. The lane to the farm is fine for a tractor or 4x4 but a small hatchback could struggle, if you dont like it too bouncy.

Bell tent
Liked: We have just got home from a night's glamping at Lodge Farm, our bell tent was beautifully furnished with all the home comforts inside. Hannah also put some decorations up for our daughters birthday which was a lovely touch. The site had everything we needed, a well equipped communal kitchen in the barn, a clean porta loo and a shower which we didn't use, but it was good to have. We really enjoyed our first night glamping as a family and would definitely recommend Lodge Farm. Our daughter made friends with 2 little boys who were also camping and I liked that the site was safe and secure, the children played in the field together as well as playing with the toys available to use from the barn. All in all a lovely overnight stay. Thank you to Hannah
Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Spent a lovely few days at Lodge Farm. The farmers wife was friendly and hospitable. Lovely scenery, so peaceful I hope my children did not disturb the other campers. The amenities were clean and tidy, a little cooker and utensils were available if you needed to use them. Very clean and tidy tiolet. Loved the outdoor shower so refreshing to bathe outside on a hot sunny day. Also loved that there were no restrictions and we were able to come and go as we pleased. Thank you so much for having us would happily come again.
