Liked: Friendly owners, very welcoming. Farm is great loads of animals to see! Plenty of space, quiet location away from the crowds
Disliked: No toilets or showers avalible, clearly advertised as such so no problem. Campsite is therefore best for those with their own toilet/shower onboard

Liked: Friendly hosts and relaxed atmosphere in the field with the park anywhere vibe. Alpacas roaming around, as well as other animals too. Tasty eggs for sale
Disliked: Very close to the airport. Planes are only occasional and good to look up at, bit they make quite a noise! Latrine facilities are super basic!
