What customers say
Top spot for families, run by friendly folk. Spotless loos & showers are a winner. Cafe's a treat, plus kids love the farm & playground. Nice views, peaceful vibe. No WiFi & a bit fiddly with grey water are the only downsides.

Liked Very friendly team, great site and surrounding area, facilities were nice.
We didnt realise that they didn't accept twin axle caravans but they were still accommodating although concerned.
Disliked Doesn't accept twin axle so we wouldn't be able to visit again, we are gutted by it.

Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff.
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Toilet and showers were very clean (one of the best facilities we have had in 12 years of touring).
Cafe/Bar was nice and bright and the food very nice.
Our Grandson loved the animals and the play ground.
Disliked Grey water disposal was not at ground level, but required lifting the waste master up into the chemical waste site. (unless we failed to find the correct drain).

Excellent site with lovely staff.
Powered gravel caravan site
Liked We were welcomed by the lovely friendly staff and checked in easily and quickly. The site is lovely. Everywhere was spotless and the pitches are are huge. We had only one slightly negative comment with the dish washing area, some of the hot taps weren't working. We tried the restaurant, the food was lovely.
We will definitely return and recommend this site.
