What customers say
Grand spot! Owners are lovely, farm setting's class, views are top-notch. Showers are spotless, warm, and well-kept. Plenty of room, cheap wood for fires, and the horses are a bonus. Access road's sorted now. Peaceful place, great for dogs.

Liked Views were beautiful, plenty of room on the pitches. The toilets and showers were lovely condition and warm. Practical hut with first aid kits for humans and pets was a great idea. Fast response on Facebook page and really helpful.

Liked A beautiful and peaceful campsite, especially tranquil when sitting next to the campfire. The toilet/shower facilities were amazing. Public footpaths start right from the campsite if you want an easily accessible walk.

Would I visit again..... Most definitely!
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely views and facilities, the owners are very plesent and helpful. There's plenty of space in the field for tent pitches as well has playing games with the kids. Lots of animals on the farm which can be seen from the pitches so great for kids. Plenty of walking from the site too.
Disliked No real dislikes or negatives apart from if you are noise sensitive, there is a country lane next to the camping field which you get some noise from, Friday it bothered me more than the Saturday but I am a light sleeper. Some areas are still working progress but I expect these will be finished soon as it's only been open a few weeks. I expect the facilities could get busy if the site is fully booked too.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked I recently stayed at this campsite and was so impressed! It’s very affordable without compromising on quality. The bathrooms are absolutely amazing—modern, spotless, and clearly well cared for, which made the stay so much more comfortable. The entire site is clean and well maintained, the staff are friendly and helpful . On top of that, the views are stunning—waking up surrounded by such natural beauty was the highlight of my trip. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, budget-friendly getaway.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Facilities were excellent, the view from our ent was amazing and the hosts were incredible friendly and approachable, it would have been good to have somewhere to freeze ice packs over night, but there are local pubs and a corner shop which meant this wasn't as needed,
Thank you so much we had a wonderful stay!
