What customers say
This peaceful, family-friendly site offers a wonderful escape with friendly, helpful hosts. Guests love the abundance of toys and games for kids, comfy beds, and excellent showers. Well-equipped with animals, a games room, and BBQ/campfire spots. Beautiful scenery and a great location for exploring the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. Minor washroom finishing touches noted, but overall a very positive experience.

Liked This was an amazing place to stay. The kids loved the trampoline, playroom (so many toys!), feeding the pigs, and the football goal. Julie welcomed us so warmly and was very helpful. The tents were brilliant and beds were super comfortable and warm. Best campsite!

A beautiful, quiet site that is welcoming to all
Bell tent
Liked Beautiful, and very quiet, a real escape. The tents were simply but very comfortably furnished and the owners have thought of lots of little details that make a stay very enjoyable (eg pretty solar powered lights, providing emergency toiletries just in case etc). Our hosts were very welcoming but left us to our own devices.
A lot of thought has been put into making the site accessible for people using wheelchairs.
Disliked Nothing of note. The owners have a few minor finishing touches to make to the paintwork etc in the newly built washrooms but this didn’t bother us at all.

Bell tent
Liked We had an absolutely wonderful stay here over half term. Beds are super comfortable, owners very helpful and friendly. There are absolutely masses of toys available for the children, so much so that we hardly saw our ours apart from at mealtimes! We really appreciated the cool of the games room, and having a fridge and freezer available, given the very high temperatures.
Disliked Nothing!
