Liked: Hosts were so friendly, welcoming and accommodating, did everything they could to make sure you had an amazing time. You can tell they are so passionate about getting kids enjoying the outdoors as there was really an emphasis on families and plenty of free toys for kids to play with, along with the tyre swing, set up on a big old tree in the corner. Very laid back, give you a quick talk on the different fields and locations and then leave you to pick a spot and get on with it. They supply a fire pit for free and then it's £5 for a big bag of logs plus some newspaper, cardboard and kindling, oh, and the free bag of marshmallows and skewers we got on arrival! Our fire went out and I was struggling to get it going again, they had already spotted this and by the time I went over to ask if they had any extra newspaper, kindling etc... They were already collecting some bits, getting their flamethrower ready and on their way! Overall, a very positive experience and we will definitely be back next year, would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice, relaxing family holiday!

Liked: There was a great choice of spacious pitch, all with access to clean facilities. We loved the eco-friendly aspects of the site and enjoyed some of the home grown veg - thank you! The owners Terry and April are very friendly, helpful and organised and we loved their daily tractor visits around the pitches for guests to stock up on logs for the fire pit. The Jurassic Pork food van served excellent food when we needed it. The yurts looked stunning and we hope to return to the camp site, bringing wider family to have a yurt stay. Thank you Terry and April!

Bell tent (six person)
Liked: Very well managed and friendly site. Play area, rope swing and toys available for the children which they really appreciated. Noise kept to a minimum at night which is great when trying to get children to sleep in a tent. Food facilities on site also fab and very welcome. We all would love to go back.

From the manager: Thank you very much for taking the time to review our site. We want families to enjoy their stay with us, so we do ask for quiet on the site after dark. Families with young children appreciate this.
