What customers say
This farm campsite receives consistent praise for its friendly and helpful staff, stunning sea views, and numerous animals. Visitors appreciate the spacious, choose-your-own pitches, on-site shop, cafe serving excellent food and local cider, and the convenient access to walking trails. Facilities are generally well-maintained and clean, though occasional reports mention them needing some attention, particularly when busy. Some guests noted the steep walk back from the valley and occasional noise from other campers. The site's relaxed atmosphere and beautiful location make it highly recommended.

Farm animals, you can feed goats…
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Farm animals, you can feed goats £1 for a small cup of feed.
Disliked We stayed on Saturday night in August, I believe that's the reason why it was so busy and not comfortable stay. We found space for the tent far away from the main area for our tent and WC was about 5-7 min walking. There is only one block for WC and showers so it's very busy and I think it's not normal to accept so many visitors with a lack of facilities on site. The price we paid was twice higher and much worse quality to compare with other camping we stayed a night before. Even more, the host expects people to take their garbage home: it was a board asking for this near the bins. So mainly we paid for the spot in the grass which is overpriced in my opinion. There's a shop on site, but prices in the shop are high. Local sider cost £4.50 per small bottle in the bar.

Absolutely spot on for an wondrous trip.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Campsite had everything you could need and more. The shop was well stocked, the cafe/bar was lovely. The pitches were ample, with plenty of smaller areas to make you feel cosy but not crowded. The showers/facilities were great. AND THE WALKS ARE INCREDIBLE. 100% recommend and i will be coming back.

Great facilities…

Flexible field vibe, great for walkers
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Anytime arrival and no check out time means you can make the most of your stay. Cafe and shop on site, walking access to coast path through their orchards. Friendly welcome.
Disliked When super busy the facilities aren’t quite sufficient for the number of people and cleanliness suffers a bit.

Great site but probably better suited out of season
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Loved the set up, free to choose where to park and great views! Food and booze in cafe was very good and reasonably priced.
Disliked Unless you are Bear Grills, it is not an easy walk to the beach either uphill or down. It took us about 40 minutes to get to the town…. And I know it’s the height of the season and we arrived on Friday and there was loads of space to pitch up. However, by Saturday night the place was rammed!!! As such the facilities were inadequate for the number of people on site and lots of queueing for the showers! Same applied to waits for food etc. and despite the heat there were a lot of fire pits around and on the grass which was a bit worrying 😬

Amazing site. Spectacular views and coastline, heavy up hill work.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked This site is beautiful. Stunning views and amazing walks. The coast line is post card perfect.
My boys had a great time seeing all the animals. The bar and cafe were spot on.
Sampled the local cider is a must. It would have been a crime to have missed out on that. The sweet cider was lovely, the dry, well...that's a whole other game. 😬😅
The site itself it large and the facilities are good. Especially for the price. All the staff were great, friendly and very helpful.
The woodland walks to the beach was beautiful and cool in the shade of the tree. The slog back up the hills however, that was a feat all of its own. All day cooking in the sun, swimming in the sea, to then take that beast on. You definitely earn the pint at the bar.
Disliked This is no way a dig at the site or the staff.
The only thing I would say was a down side would be the pitch organisation, it's a bit wild west.
The site did give us instructions to park and pitch along the edges of the fields and banks.
We pitched in a corner of the hedge and bank, and by the evening we had a village around us, by the second day, I had to tell the new arrivals of the village group not to put their tents with their friends other wise we would have been blocked in. They were happy to oblige.
Note, it was a very busy weekend in the summer holidays.

Overall a really good campsite we enjoyed our stay
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great sea views - we were lucky to arrive at Thursday lunchtime and picked a great pitch sheltered from the breeze with trees giving partial shade (Hares field)
The cafe served good food & drink which also had superb views from the garden.
We really appreciated having space to store our food & drink in the large fridges provided plus having a freezer as well for ice blocks.
The showers were good
Disliked Having said the showers were good, they could be cleaner or at least have some cleaning tools to use after you've showered. Also a good clean of the roof space would avoid things dropping down into the shower space.
The Cafe offered a few gluten free cakes & meals however some of the staff seemed unsure of meals available (thankfully the owner stepped in to organise options for me)

Plenty of space to pitch on…
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Plenty of space to pitch on arrival, lots of water points around the site and the farm park kept the kids entertained for hours!!
The shop is well stocked and the cafe has plenty of seating even when busy.
The toilet block was kept clean and the showers were excellent.

The goats, horses and other animals.…
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The goats, horses and other animals. Never had to wait for toilets or washing up, and facilities were decent and functional. Useful to have the cafe and shop onsite. Loved horse riding on site. Good location.
Disliked The WiFi is only available in the cafe and shop area, not at the tent pitches. Fortunately there is a decent 4G signal. (Having internet is very important to one member of my family). The camping area got very busy, especially on Friday and Saturday nights, so didn’t feel particularly peaceful.
