What customers say
This is a quiet, tranquil campsite with very clean and new facilities, including toilets and showers. Guests appreciate the peaceful setting, helpful and friendly hosts, and good value for money. The site is convenient for exploring the local area and is particularly suited for horse riding enthusiasts. Some feedback suggests adding an outside sink for dishwashing and improving clarity on accessing amenities.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Very quiet camping location. We were lucky and had the whole place to ourselves. We did not pay the extra small charge for a shower but from looking inside, it was very new and clean. The campsite has a newly build hostel which looked lovely. The outside toilet is part of the hostel building and was immaculate. There is a little village about a 5 minute drive which had a few smaller shops. Loads of fields on site to walk around as the site is also used for horse riding.
Disliked No outside sink for cleaning dishes but we knew this when booking. Would be a great little addition. There was a kitchen inside the hostel which is located on site but not part of the camping pitch.

From the manager: Dear Carol
I am sorry you felt you did not have a good experience on your one night stay with us.
As we provide not only a toilet on site but access to shower facility we feel we provide good value for money as well as the peace and quiet.
My phone number is clearly advertised to all guests and should anyone need to contact me to clarify anything I am readily available and in fact we always have someone based on the farm who can help..
It was interesting to note that the night you stayed we received two five star reviews from other guests.
Best wishes
