Brilliant stay, already recommended and planning a group return!
Power optional cement/asphalt RV campsite
Liked We had an absolutely brilliant stay and couldn’t fault it. Everything was clean, well looked after and really well organised, which made the whole experience easy and relaxing from the moment we arrived. The site had a lovely atmosphere and felt peaceful, welcoming and safe throughout our stay.
The staff were friendly, helpful and clearly took pride in making sure everyone had a great time. We enjoyed it so much that we’ve already recommended it to several friends and have started talking about all coming back and staying together next time. We would happily return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked We had a lovely peaceful stay (admittedly on a very quiet couple of nights) and really enjoyed ourselves. We were given a friendly welcome and enjoyed picking our own spot for our tent. The bacon sandwiches from the cafe in the morning were delicious!

From the manager: We're so pleased you enjoyed your visit with us.
I do recommend it on my post, because my boys love it.
Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked It’s a quiet and nice place, very good for young kids to play the toys and sand. My 4 years old boy love it. The viewing is quite good as well.
Disliked There is only two bath and some extra toilet in the cafe. It’s not very busy when I came. But I think some small extra bath would be better.

From the manager: We're please you all enjoyed your stay.
We do have additional showers on order which will help when it is busier.
Lovely farm, open spaces, play areas for young children, quiet nights
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked We had a truly wonderful stay at the farm! We live locally and keeping things simple were looking for somewhere close to camp for a couple of nights. I'm a single mum to a 6 year old boy - this was the idyllic location. And feels like a bit of a special secret. We'd previously been to a birthday party and thought it would be great to camp here.
He loved the play barn and going up and down on a tractor and playing in the huge sandpit, often making friends on site. We loved saying hello to the goats and seeing the cows.
We hired a firepit which was delivered to our campsite with wood already cut up and loved toasting marshmallows.
We had lots of space to play and there were some garden goal posts to play football, as well as basketball.
There is a fridge freezer available on the site if you need to keep things cool.
I thought the showers were lovely. Yes there are two, but we had no issue in being calm to use them when we wanted. They had plenty of space to move around and were kept clean.
The cafe is open in the day 10am-4pm which is an added bonus. Lovely cakes on display and child-friendly light bite options.
There are plenty of benches to sit at and some lovely areas to watch the sunset.
We spent one of our days at the nearby butterfly world and animal farm / soft play which we loved just a 20 minute drive away.
The nights were quiet and peaceful, a relaxed stay. The site was quiet by around 9pm.
Had an awesome peaceful view of the stars, planets and the glorious moon. Beautiful sunset.
The owners were really friendly and approachable and felt looked after during our stay.
Great budget-friendly stay.
Disliked Whilst the large open space is loved, as the site grows in popularity there may be an opportunity to paddock off some areas, of personal concern was the deep pond at the very bottom if there were parents with SEN children or small children. The owners did say that if it was of concern we could move into the other field. We were able to pitch our tent at the top of the field a good distance away from the pond.
I'm not sure if there was one but also a simple addition could also be a baby bath/ toddler steps / toddler seat for use in the shower rooms for young children too, I didn't ask for this, but these could easily be pegged up in the area just outside.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments, we are so pleased that you both enjoyed your stay.
We do try to enable those with you children to pitch far away from the pond and we continue to monitor whether a fence is needed around the pond, we have lots who request one isn't put up as they feel it would spoil it.
We do have toddler steps within the toilets / shower blocks but we will look in to getting a baby bath for those who need one.
