Bell tent

Liked: Our stay was really magical even under stressful circumstances. We ended up with a poorly baby and our hosts were so accommodating and friendly offering medicine and allowing us a more relaxed morning with an extended check out time. Once little one had some calpol and sleep we were able to enjoy the many animals on the smallholding and our one year old loved crawling over to sit next to Diana the pig. The stay was quiet, relaxed and charming and we’d definitely like to return.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: The pitches were really spacious and spread so we didn’t feel like we were close to anyone. The facilities were nice and clean. It was lovely to see all the different animals on site, perfect for families. Each pitch has a picnic bench and fire pit which were really handy. We loved it here, will definitely return when our daughter is older. Karen was so welcoming and friendly.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Brilliant site, friendly staff and great facilities. Nice large pitches with our own picnic table and firepit. The petting farm was such a nice addition for children.

Disliked: Slightly expensive if you have a large family as its a 'per person' charge with no discount for children. However the site was definitely worth the money.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Great pitches with picnic tables and fire pits. Useful open air kitchen with kettle and gas stove and firefighters and marshmallow forks. Eggs for sale. My son loved being able to access the farm to take a look at the animals and Diana the pig. Showers nice and warm and loos with flush and basins with hand soap. Phone network strong. Peaceful and well organised - a gem.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Karen the owner was really helpful and friendly. My 6 year old son loved her. She took time to show him all of the animals and we felt totally safe letting him run around. The campsite is fantastic. The showers and toilets really good and I love the animals being able to run around. This was a hidden gem that we found and I am so glad we did as will definitely come back.

Disliked: Nothing - This campsite has everything you could want.

Local attractions

A partially ruined Victorian mansion makes an atmospheric backdrop to the gardens at National Trust - Nymans (10 minutes’ drive). You can stroll along colourful borders filled with geraniums, sunflowers and dahlias, admire the hydrangeas on the main lawn or stroll through the shaded woods. Check out World War II aircraft at the Wings Aviation Museum (15 minutes), housed in a hangar-style structure. In addition to fighters and bombers, there are displays illustrating the Battle of Britain, The Blitz (including a real shelter) and D-Day. You can book private experiences with raptors at Huxley’s Birds of Prey Centre and Gardens (20 minutes), from to a day (or half-day) learning about and flying a range of birds, including owls and falcons, to a walk with a hawk. After that excitement, you can relax by the pond in the vibrant gardens and check out the tropical plant collection.
