A grand escape for those wanting a bit of peace, with plenty of room and lovely views. The quiet vibe, sound owners, and a handy pub nearby get the thumbs up. Just portaloos and a cold sink here, perfect for a no-fuss trip for nature lovers.

Liked Lovely campsite. Very quiet and peaceful. Lovely view. I went with my friend just as a little spontaneous night away and was pleasantly surprised how much we enjoyed it. We are already planning our next visit. Was a lovely night to spend some time away from home with a peaceful view. Porta loos on site, which as you’d expect, better than having no toilet at all so can not complain. Although it is very peaceful, you do get some signal around the site if needed so you are not completely disconnected from the world. Owner is very helpful and friendly- easy to contact if necessary but they will leave you in peace. Very very happy with our stay and can not wait to come back:)

Beautiful quiet site
Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch (sloping, maximum 6 metres)
Liked Exactly as described. Beautiful views and very quiet. I highly recommend Swallow Barn Farm. It’s a hidden gem. I solo camped in my tent box with my dogs. The owners are lovely. They leave you alone but are at the end of the phone if you need them. My solar cable to my battery pack did nt work. I ordered for next day delivery to the farm. They brought my package to me and offered fridge space if I still needed it. Sitting watching the horses and ponies was wonderful. 3 mins walk at the end of the drive is the Swan Inn. A wonderful country pub serving great food all day.
I will definitely be booking again. Thank you 🤩
Disliked Nothing. A back to basics wild camp with the added benefits of a porta loo and a sink and water

Pub for lunch? then book a table inside because of the wasps.
Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch (sloping, maximum 6 metres)
Liked Lovely views with ample of space. Gentle sloping field. lovely pub just a couple minutes walk down the road.
Disliked The whole area is a catch point for wasps. Sadly not the fault of the campsite itself.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated. Sorry you had an issue with wasps, this has never been a problem here before. Hopefully it was an unfortunate anomaly.
Lovely, will return again
Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch (sloping, maximum 6 metres)
Liked Nice area, views, no one bothers each others pitches.
Tent was left alone when we left the site.
Quite area.
Wild camping so there's no check in, no WiFi, just what you bring.
Disliked Portaloo didn't have water for washing hands unlike last time I went, not an issue as we had wipes just a mention for future campers.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for such a kind review, so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. The Portaloo should have had water so that is something we will keep a check on in future so thank you for bringing that to our attention.
