Primitive grass and earth RV, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Gemma the owner of the pitch was extremely welcoming, there were goats who were absolutely adorable she allowed us to go in the pen with them for a cuddle, there were also sheep and chickens in which she let my kids collect the eggs and pet the chickens. The area has stunning views and is lovely and peaceful. Two portaloos onsite beautifully clean, fresh water available, logs and eggs for sale. Fire pits for hire. Easy to use QR code on arrival to pay for your stay. 100% recommend I’ll be back!
