What customers say
This is a cosy, quiet campsite in a beautiful rural setting, praised for its exceptionally friendly and helpful hosts. Guests appreciate the farm atmosphere with sheep and chickens, making it ideal for families. While facilities are basic, they are considered adequate for short stays and stopovers. Some note that the site is still developing but expect improvements. A few visitors mentioned the proximity to a busy road.

Liked The cold water tap
Disliked Right next to busy main road. Very old portaloo with not enough blue fluid to flush. Campsite scruffy with loads of old sheds/wood/furniture around. It’s clearly somebody’s back garden. The grass was mown but not raked up and some areas had builders rubble underneath. As a no-alternative stop-off, fine as a last resort but lack of showers as well made the whole stay feel really grotty. One group had two tents, three vans and a gazebo plus what looked like three toilet tents. It looks nothing like the photos.

Liked This campsite has such a lovely, cozy charm. The setting on a farm is beautiful, with sheep field, apple trees, and friendly chickens wandering around, which made the stay feel really special and homelike.
The owner was incredibly welcoming and friendly, which added so much to the experience. You can tell they really care about the place and about making guests feel at home.
