What customers say
A grand time on this farm site! Loved the wild camping feel, stunning views, and space to explore. Kids adored the animals, from lambs to goats. Louie and Phoenix are brilliant hosts. Clean loos! A real escape, though daytime traffic was a slight bother.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Louie and Phoenix were such welcoming hosts and genuinely lovely people. Their customer service was impeccable from the moment we booked until the day we left, with every query answered quickly and kindly. The compost toilet was very clean, and we got to experience the farm animals far closer than I ever expected. Overall it was a genuinely lovely stay and we’d happily come back.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch
Liked It was an epic stay. Almost wild camping with a compost toilet and the river. Beautiful views, lovely land to roam and animals to pet. I did a lot of firsts under supervision: collecting eggs, milking goats and even mowed the path. Oh and I saw a deer on the dyke
We'll definitely be back!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: You did an epic job of the mowing and the milking! I feel I need to tell you we have two new goats! We look forward to seeing you next time you're in the area! Louis
