What customers say
Spacious, private sites, coppice best for seclusion. Clean facilities, warm showers. Peaceful, well-located, family-friendly with good farm shop/cafe. Peak times can strain facilities; glamping price questioned. No Wi-Fi/limited signal intentional. More shade for main site suggested.

Anonymous Bell tent
Liked Beautiful location and natural setting, no big campervans or caravans, cute shop, good toilets and showers and mini playgrounds to keep the kids entertained. Nice pizza van on a Tuesday. Bell tent was spacious and clean, decorated with nice touches like blankets, cushions and chairs and the beds were pretty comfy.
Disliked The kitchen area became very crowded with little room in the fridges and freezers and no plugs free (small things really!). There's a very slim check in window (3-5.30pm) and they sent us the wrong tent name so that was confusing and a bit annoying after a 5 hour journey, nobody onsite to help out apart from a couple of hours a day. Shop/bar have vague opening times which could be clearer - it shut early and the bar was only open one evening. We also didn't know we needed to bring full bedding so had to hire it there. I thought it was a bit overpriced for how they advertised the campsite.

Bell tent
Liked Vriendelijke ontvangst met duidelijke uitleg, tent was in orde
Disliked Prijs-kwaliteitsverhouding is onvoldoende. Als je een glamping tent voor 5 personen boekt, zou je ook 5 zitplaatsen verwachten. Capaciteit sanitair en douches te laag voor het aantal gasten, dat zie en ruik je. Daarnaast was er geen wifi en kent gebied een beperkt mobiel netwerk. Terrein is erg rommelig.
Al met al voelt het alsof de prijs niet in verhouding staat tot wat je ervoor krijgt.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you didn't feel your stay offered good value for money, as we always aim to provide a memorable glamping experience.
Regarding the seating, our bell tents sleep up to five guests and are provided with six seats in total: two wicker chairs inside the tent and two two-person benches around the fire pit, so there is seating available for everyone.
We also understand that Wi-Fi can be important to some guests. We don't provide Wi-Fi on site, and this is clearly stated before booking as it's part of the off grid experience we offer rather than something we try to hide.
In terms of facilities, we have eight showers and twelve toilets located around the site. We're sorry if they didn't meet your expectations during your stay.
We're particularly sorry that you felt the site was untidy. Our team works incredibly hard every day to care for the grounds and create the best possible experience for our guests. This summer has been exceptionally dry, with very little rainfall for an extended period, and unfortunately the dust and the impact on our trees and willow are beyond our control. While the landscape may not have looked as lush as we'd like, we continue to work hard to keep the site welcoming and well maintained.
We genuinely appreciate your feedback and are sorry that your experience didn't match the one we strive to provide. We wish you all the best with your future travels.

Liked Small site with individual private pitches. Lovely setting. Onsite bar was very welcome. Little play frame in the tent field was perfectly sized for my 17month old. With bigger play frame for older kids up by the shop. Would definitely go back.

The Coppice unpowered grass tent site (large)
Liked Perfect wholesome family camping site. Small and friendly. We stayed in pitch 25 in the coppice and the pitch was massive and had its own bench. I would recommend the coppice pitches as they are tucked away and offer more space and privacy.
Toliets were spotless and showers lovely and warm.
The park was small but my 6 year old son loved going up down the slide.
The farm shop was fab and the coffee was amazing! We will be back!
