Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Very, very clean toilets. Two playgrounds for the children were a big hit. Sauna looks great - shame I didn’t have a chance to try it out. There is a small pond - not really for swimming in but lovely to look at; we were fascinated by the beautiful dragonflies and spent ages watching them there. Glamping wagons looked lovely from the outside. There are two wheelbarrows available to help with transporting your kit.
Disliked Lack of easily accessible bins (apart from compost). Also, it would be really helpful if there were some old bricks available, for portable bbqs.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked We really loved the facilities available , the toilets and showers were impeccable and the campsite was clean and well supplied, we enjoyed the space and the scenery around us. We went on some long walks to near by villages which had lovely pubs and met lots of friendly people along the way. Easy access to Supermarkets (10 min drive) and an hour from the beach was a good day out. Rob was really friendly and relaxed and made us feel welcomed. Incredible Value for money and the fire pit and barbecues provided were a massive touch. Will definitely recommend.

Great site to get away from the busy urban life.
Primitive forest floor tent campsite
Liked Clean, quiet area, plenty of toilets and showers. We are first time campers, only stayed one night to trial the kids. And whitehouse farm was a great choice, completely hassle free and the owner introduced himself and made us feel very welcome.

Tawny shepherd's hut
Liked Quiet area, not many people around. Clean toilet facilities and the owner was very friendly and helpful during our stay!
The hut was very good, had all the basic things in the kitchenette, the sink was external but in close proximity.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Beautiful, well-maintained, and thoughtful gem of a campsite! The camping field is small, with only 6 tent spaces, but each large enough to accommodate large tents and not feel like you are on top of each other. There is a small field and playground on the campsite. You walk through the forested glamping pod area, past the toilet/shower block, and across a bridge to get to the site. Wheelbarrows and carts available to truck your stuff over. There is a communal firepit and big skies (or you can make your own little fire).
The sauna (costs extra) is really lovely overlooking the swimming pond. The pond is shallow enough for kids to splash in (supervised), but has a little deep area carved out for sauna cold plunges.
The bathrooms are well-maintained with soap and a towel and there is a washing up sink that had dishsoap and sponge (perhaps left by previous campers and not usually there.) Rob has done a brilliant job fine-tuning this campsite, and I couldn't recommend it more.
Disliked I would really have to split hairs to add anything that I disliked!!
The campsite next to us had several cartfuls of gear and found it tricky that you cannot drive up to your site, but we were prepared for that.
I did feel a bit guilty going for late night or early morning wees as the area through the glamping pods has stone pathways. But perhaps they couldn't hear it!

Liked Lovely quiet location, with a couple of nice play areas for the kids. Toilet and shower facilities were lovely and well looked after.
My boys loved camping in the woods and will likely book again in the future.

Woodpecker shepherd's hut
Liked We had the most amazing time in this idylic little hideaway. We have a profoundly autistic son and it was safe and secure for him to be at one with nature, relax and play in the playground. Everyone was lovely and friendly to speak to and the accommodation was perfect. My partner enjoyed the sauna, we had the loveliest walk around the orchards and enjoyed a late night fire. It could not have been better. Thank you Rob xx
Disliked That we only stayed one night!
