Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Fantastic host and a real gem of a location with beautiful views of the coast. Ideal size for a quiet stay with a limited number of pitches. I am not keen on the massive camp sites! WC and shower facilities were clean and water hot plus firewood, drinks and food available for purchase at the farm house at very reasonable prices. We could even charge our phones and iPads there. Big thumbs up and will go again!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Very friendly, helpful land owners/hosts. Taught the children about the farm animals, their names, what they eat, etc. Huge pitches, with fire pit. Optional to purchase a big bag of fire logs. Hosts have the farm hkuse at the end of the land, and they have a notice board in the camp site, of all the daily prepared hot meals, breakfast rolls on offer. Also, a shop for essentials, and ice lollies, teas, and cakes. Exceptionally friendly, came to check on us (our 1st night there was a storm) will be returning. Excellent value for money. And the Llamas are just beautiful

Luna bell tent (large)
Liked: Tent features, added extras, host, wild lamas, the funky toilet/shower! Omg, I absolutely love camping and love trying different places! We booked a surprise night away for our friend’s birthday and had a festival themed night, the tent was amazing it was so boho vibe inside, the beds are SO comfy! There is a little kitchen and stove which has everything you could think you need! Beanbags, and an inside area to sitc blankets and little added extras around the tent! This really is a little gem of a place! When you go off to the toilet, you’ll probably be greeted by some wondering lamas they are cute! And the host is lovely, nothing is too much! I would 100% recommend and will definitely be back with my partner next tim!
Disliked: Nothing, I couldn’t fault it!
