Liked: Absolutely loved this camp site, toilets and showers were amazing and very clean. Dotty the caravan was a great thing to do as the weather was very cold and rainy. The on-site shop was really lovely, and the alpaca merch was really cute, we got some stickers for our camper van! The owner met us when we arrived and gave us a tour and we got to feed and meet the alpacas! Would 100% recommend and will definitely be visiting again.
Disliked: Absolutely nothing.

Liked: What's not to like, we had to go back for the second time in a fortnight to walk the Alpacas. Looking forward to a return next year as plans for the site sound amazing.
