Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks for your review, I am shocked that you mention that the facilities were not clean as we have cleaners that come in once a day to deep clean and we also check the toilets regularly.
It is true that our farm is run down as we are constantly trying to prioritise where money should be spent at the moment we prioritise growing our little campsite which means that the farm building become neglected.
We have recently replaced all the picnic benches on the site so I think the ones you are referring to are the old ones. But I appreciate that these should have been removed.
In regards to the recycling all I can do is apologise, we have had some major issues with our refuse collection where they have essentially held us to ransom and refused to collect the bins unless we sign a new contract with them.
Looking back on the weekend as a whole when you booked, I totally agree that standards were not at the level we would expect for our guests and we are really sorry about that. If you would like to get in touch I will happily refund you. Thanks for your feedback :)

Vom Platzbetreiber: Pleased your pooches enjoyed it 😃

Positiv: The Animals, the views beautiful quiet base for exploring the local area easy check in. I love simple pleasures so this working farm was perfect for us.

Negativ: The grass was really long and nearly burnt out my clutch reversing van onto pitch. Not an issue for the experienced caravanner but I'll need to stick with hard ground pitches for now

Vom Platzbetreiber: I am so sorry about the grass; it is hard to plan that first cut and decide when is best to do it! It has now been done and will be regularly cut as sitting on the lawnmower is the only time I get peace from the kids 🤣. The hubby is always about on his tractor, he would have happily helped you! Happy caravanning, and thank you for your lovely review.

Positiv: Great spot, nice views and space, clean showers, toilets. Plenty to see around there, great walks.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Really pleased you enjoyed it and we love the photos ❤️

Positiv: The site is not in great but the people are friendly.

Negativ: At the time of our stay one toilet block was closed which meant there was a large que for the pod block. Showers were cold and water pressure very poor..

Vom Platzbetreiber: We are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. We have had issues with refurbishing our toilet blocks, but have reduced occupancy by 50% to accommodate this. We weren't aware of issues with the showers. They are checked twice daily when cleaning but we will investigate why the temperature and pressure is dropping 😃

Positiv: We stayed here April 2025 in the enclosed pitch with a wood fired hottub. We had an amazing time! The enclosed pitch was a game charger with the dogs able to run around freely and safely 🐶. The setting was beautiful and peaceful with the stunning countryside all around. It was lovely in the morning to have our breakfast outside with the view of the cows, even though it is a working farm it was so peaceful 🐖🐑🐄🚜. One of the highlights was the wood fired hottub, it was a treat to sit and unwind under the stars in the evenings.
The pitch itself had everything we needed. It was clean, well kept and had a lovely rustic feel.
All in all, it was a great experience. The 3 hours journey was definitely worth it! Us and the dogs loved our weekend here and will definitely be back 🫶🏼

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for your lovely review 😃

We have a lot of dogs, so we designed this pitch with them in mind 🤣

We do have amazing skies, I had never really appreciated this until we had campers here, and they started to share their photos.

We hope to see you again soon.

Positiv: Beautiful views, amazing wood fired hot tub and very helpful owners who helped me get the hot tub going. Facilities were clean and near to the pitch. Very dog friendly with huge enclosed grassed area next to pitch.

Negativ: Nothing

Vom Platzbetreiber: So pleased you enjoyed your stay, we are always happy to help 😃

Positiv: Nothing, the campsite was a disgrace

Negativ: Everything.
The campsite was disgusting
Shower not working cold
Toilets absolutely filthy with urine on the floor and toilet seats lying on the floor with shit on it.
The sink to wash dishes was filthy with food waste.
The chemical waste had not been cleaned and was absolutely stinking the whole “campsite”
Glad I was only there to put my head down for a few hours, absolutely filthy and disgusting

Vom Platzbetreiber: We are in the process of renovating the main site toilet blocks.

As we aren't particularly busy at the moment. We asked campers to use the toilets near the pods. I totally appreciate that the standard of the toilets isn't acceptable as they weren't in use. I'm wondering if the sign bles off the door during your short stay.

The wash up area is cleaned every day. I'm sorry if another camper left food waste in the sink. We are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay.

Positiv: Beautiful location. I stayed in a glamping pod, with my dog. So peaceful and relaxing. Just what I needed. View from our pod was amazing looking out over fields and mountains in distance. Lovely sun sets and sun rises. Each pod was fenced with a big plot of land. Perfect fory dog and I to play
Had campfire every night. Definitely going back for longer next time.

Negativ: Nothing I disliked
