Liked: Wheems Organic Farm is an amazing place to stay - we had a very warm welcome and felt right at home from the very first minute on. The campsite is super cute and does not only offer pods and camping pitches but also a shared kitchen and a cozy room to eat, read or relax in. We enjoyed every minute of our stay - thank you so much!

Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked: It is a lovely friendly site with amazing views. Very quirky and some might find it ramshackle in the way the buildings are cobbled together (personally this adds to it's charm for me), but showers & toilets were very clean & it was great having a quick wash, washing machine available. Love the "honesty" nature of the shop & machines (pay or donate what you can afford) and hope that no-one ever abuses this feature.
Very friendly black cat & chickens too!
Disliked: nothing I can think of with the site - had issues with Google Maps sending us down the wrong entrance at nearly midnight though, hopefully my report to them may help to fix this issue.
