What customers say
A great spot for families, with lovely views, spacious pitches and helpful owners. Loads for kids to do, like play areas & meeting the animals. Facilities are clean but basic, may be tight when busy. Remote for peace, but a drive to attractions.

Amazing friendly site
Electric grass and earth pitch
Liked What an amazing site this is, we have stayed here before a few years ago, & this time it was even better. The pitches are nice, big and grass is kept short. The washing up areas, toilet & shower blocks have been improved too which were great. My daughter absolutely loved the critter corner, especially the goats! Owners are so friendly and helpful. The new park area with zip line at the back is so good, such a fantastic addition to the site. The stars on a night were breathtaking. You can get breakfast butties and coffee too, but it was way too hot today for that. Lovely site and we will definitely be back.
Disliked Nothing

Thank to the lovely owners of the site who make u feel very welcome
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Was a lovely campsite with plenty to do for children .added bonus of a burger bar which sold gorgeous food . Went in an alpaca trek which was fun.not my typical campsite I would normally choose as a lot of children around but they was very well behaved ,and was summer holidays . They have baby goats and horses and a shop close by too and absolutely beautiful surroundings ,the views are breathtaking.i would go for a different pitch next time as the one on the back seems more like what I would choose but I would definitely come back even despite the pitch as they’re is still plenty of space between pitches .toilets were clean and spotless which was an added bonus .was also charging facilities in a little box think which was fab as I had forgot my power banks
Disliked Was my fault for not checking but just incase the non electric pitch is a compost toilet and definitely would have preferred a normal toilet which wasn’t a problem as there was normal toilets just not as close my pitch I was on

When we arrived the first thing…
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked When we arrived the first thing was the warm welcome we received, which was great after a long day on the road cycling. The site is large and very family friendly with loads for the kids to do and plenty of space to play in. The views are stunning but for us also having hot food available in the evening and at breakfast was a massive plus. We only stayed one night, but loved the whole experience. Would recommend it for touring cyclists and families alike..:)

Would stay again, just be earlier to the showers.
Electric grass and earth pitch
Liked The pitches had individual water available that was safe to drink. Decent space between each pitch. Critters corner, cute! Plenty of things for kids in a safe environment. Although we didn't have young children, good to see a set up like this. Staff friendly. Offered breakfast buns and fresh coffee in the morning, but didn't have it so can't comment on quality or taste.
Disliked The shower was tepid. Only a couple bursts of warm water, I think it can't handle numerous people using water at the same time. The shower didn't drain either so caused the floor surrounding to be very wet. And you were basically standing in other people's dirty water.
