Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Great place to visit, with lots of space. The owners were extremely friendly and the kids had so much fun. The animals are lovely with 2 Alpacas that roam around freely and the kids got to ride on the back of the quad bike which they all loved

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful views, nice clean facilities, and the loveliest hosts you could imagine. It's a gorgeous part of the countryside, with rolling green hills and pretty villages. Alan and Ruth have a few very sweet rescue animals (wallabies, alpacas, an emu...!) who are great with children and adults. Alan really goes out of his way to make guests welcome.
