Liked: The entire place was amazing.. the scenery, the camp site the amenities were all 1st class. The site was so clean and we enjoyed all the walks available. Showers and toilets were very clean. And the mini golf was also a added bonus and the fact it was included in the price was fantastic.. we didn’t need to leave the site at all we enjoyed every minute of our stay

Liked: WOW WOW WOW. What a fantastic place. I am an amputee and everything was brilliant for me very accessible. We where made to feel so welcoming. My wife went to see the sheep on the farm being sheered and the farmer and his son explained everything when they were sheering them . What a beautiful tranquil place. I'm originally from northern Ireland but haven't been back for many a year but places and people like this make me home sick. Thank you for a fabulous stay .
Disliked: Nothing at all

Liked: The animals, lovely walks, the cottage for rainy evenings, the lovely owners. The bathroom, showers and kitchen. The mini golf. Very well maintained site, beautifully situated.
Disliked: The wind, which obviously can't be helped, but maybe some more sheltered pitches could be created down the bottom of the field

Thousands of midges

From the manager: Thanks for leaving a review. All of our showers are individual cubicles - 1/2 shower enclosure 1/2 space to change so each is private with its own sink, mirror and locked door. There are a couple of hooks and a wee folding seat to set things on (tucked under the sink for space) but we will consider how we can improve the hanging space. The facilities are cleaned daily but there is a mop provided to dry the floor in between should you need to, but not everyone does!
We live on the farm so there is usually some-one around and contact numbers displayed at the check in area in case we are off site or you need anything. Having self service check in means guests are free to arrive at any time, not worrying about rushing to get here.
Ah the midges, unfortunately not much we can do about them but I'll take your feedback on board :)
Nice site - just not for us

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Nice farm setting, well signposted and a nice welcome from Patsy when we arrived. The pitches were fine for our one-night stay and had all the services we needed. There were LOTS of midges so we didn't venture out and about though.
Disliked: The showers were just OK - there were LOTS of midges hanging out all over the shower cubicle, so it made it an uncomfortable experience. The wash hand basin was unclean and both hooks on the back of the door were broken so there wasn't anywhere to hang clothes. The chemical disposal was a large tube in the ground, located under a tree, so I got loads of midge bites just emptying it.
