What customers say

A ripper spot for a quiet getaway! Spacious sites, awesome views, and top-notch facilities like private loos and hot showers. Hosts are legends, and you can hang with the farm animals. Close to a village with pubs, though you'll want to drive due to a busy road without footpaths.

Barn Owl unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Great pitch, fire pit, private toilet, showers. Very peaceful, lots of wildlife and a great place to relax.

Disliked Local footpaths not very nice, and the road to the village is fast with no pavements, so driving would be recommended.

Sunset unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Very clean and peaceful place to pitch up. The owner had animals on site that my son was able to pet, muck out and collect eggs in the mornings. The owner was a lovely lady and was welcoming and patient. Our stay was made comfortable. Well worth a visit. Lavender fields were fruitful and was able to take any cuttings with us. Great value for money. Showers were hot and clean. Logs provided for us at a reasonable fee. Access to chargers round the clock and access to fridge and freezer. Next trip we will be staying in one of their beautiful glamping tents that look very glamorous. Has all the amenities needed to camp without all the work. 😁

Local attractions

Wholesome country activities are abundant near the site, from meeting and feeding the animals at Boydells Dairy Farm (10 minutes’ drive) to voyaging on the vintage Colne Valley Railway train line (15 minutes). Continue with typically rural activities by trotting around the Great Notley Country Park (20 minutes), which has walking trails and a climbing forest, or amble in Audley End’s English Heritage site with its stables, gardens and miniature railway (25 minutes). After pursuits that are a little less virtuous? Tour the English Spirit Distillery (10 minutes), a small-batch rum producer in a Grade II-listed barn in the grounds of the 200-year-old Great Yeldham Hall. Bring a tad more history into your adventures by hightailing it to Hedingham Castle (20 minutes) next before eyeing up the handsome colleges of Cambridge (50 minutes). Once you’re done with staring at stunning buildings, wind down with a bit of punting along the River Cam.
