From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review and for recommending us to friends—we really appreciate it!

We’re delighted to hear that the communication before your arrival helped make your stay as smooth as possible, and that you received a warm welcome when you arrived.

It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the views and found the site clean, tidy, and well maintained. We work hard to create a relaxing and welcoming environment for our guests, so your kind comments mean a great deal to us.

Thank you again for your feedback, and we’re thrilled to hear you would visit again. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future! 😊

Liked Owners really friendly. Lovely little site with donkeys and chickens to say hello too. Gorgeous views over mountains and nice to have your own tap.

Disliked A little strict on the guest policy. We would have loved to meet up with some friends for a drink or two one evening but you’re not allowed guests past 6pm. And no more than 2 guests in daytime
A little play area would make this place a bit more family friendly

From the manager: Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re really pleased you enjoyed the friendly atmosphere, beautiful views, and the visits from the donkeys and chickens! It’s also great to hear you appreciated having your own water tap on the pitch.

We do appreciate your feedback regarding the guest policy. As a very small and quiet site, the policy is in place to help maintain the peaceful environment that many guests choose us for, as well as to manage parking and facilities fairly for everyone staying on site. We completely understand your point though, and appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

We really appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again in the future!

Liked The peace and tranquility, the friendly nature of the team.

Disliked Having to walk past the caged guard dogs, my wife is scared of dogs so she was somewhat limited. We understand its a working farm, but it might be an idea to have access to the pond and walks behind the barns?

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of the site and found the team friendly and welcoming.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding the dogs. As you mentioned, we are a working farm, and the dogs are securely contained within their kennels. We completely understand that some guests may be nervous around dogs, and we’re sorry to hear this limited your wife’s enjoyment of certain areas during your stay.

Thank you as well for your suggestion regarding access to the pond and walks behind the barns. The areas beyond the barns are part of our working farm, so access is restricted for safety reasons. However, we always appreciate guest feedback and will keep your comments in mind as we continue to look at ways to enhance the visitor experience.

Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

Liked The location, very easy to get to and to find. Like the facilities they had everything that you needed in a peaceful quiet location. You can even have safe fire pits for that added camping experience. The hosts were great and took the trouble to come and meet us on arrival to ensure that everything was right. They even have farm produce for sale including eggs and preserves thought this was a great touch

Disliked Nothing really was a good stay

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the peaceful location and found the site easy to find and settle into. It’s great to hear the facilities had everything you needed for a relaxing stay.

Thank you as well for your kind comments about the welcome you received on arrival; we always try to make sure guests feel settled and looked after from the moment they arrive.

It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the farm produce too. The fresh eggs and preserves are something we really enjoy sharing with guests, so we’re glad you thought it was a nice touch.

We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon!

Liked Good pitches, clean facilities, great views, friendly and helpful staff, lots of walks nearby. Loved the honesty box for eggs and jams. Some map info for some walks and info about nearby pubs and the local farm shop.

Disliked NOT a dislike, just a point people may need to know.
There is 1 toilet and shower together, so if you are a person who cant wait when you need to go, it would be best to have your own toilet. We only had to wait a couple of times and the site was quite full, we had our own toilet and didn't need to use it.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely and detailed review, and for recommending us to friends—we really appreciate it!

We’re delighted you enjoyed the pitches, views, nearby walks, and the peaceful atmosphere of the site. It’s great to hear the information on local walks, pubs, and the farm shop was useful during your stay. We’re also so pleased you loved the honesty box for the eggs and jams—those little touches are something we really enjoy offering our guests.

Thank you as well for mentioning the bathroom setup in such a fair and helpful way for future visitors. As a small site we do keep the facilities simple, but we’re pleased to say we have now laid the concrete base for an additional toilet, which we hope to have installed by the end of June. We’re always looking at ways to improve the experience for our guests while keeping the quiet, relaxed feel of the site.

We truly appreciate your feedback and would love to welcome you back again for another countryside getaway soon!

Liked Beautiful countryside and a friendly welcome from Cath. I had the campsite to myself. Clean facilities, perfect little campsite I loved it

Disliked The spider that joined me in the shower! 🤣

We’re also really pleased you found the facilities clean and enjoyed the site so much. As for the spider… living in the countryside means they occasionally like to make themselves at home too! 🤣 We hope he didn’t disturb your shower too much.

Thanks again for your kind words, and we’d love to welcome you back again soon!

Liked Quiet location, plenty of walks from site, friendly owners, lots of wildlife about, fresh eggs and jams available.

Disliked Only one bathroom

Thank you as well for your feedback regarding the bathroom facilities. As a small site we do keep things fairly simple, but we understand this may not suit everyone and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

Liked Only 8 pitches so nice and quiet. Owners mum greeted everyone that came in, very welcoming.

Disliked Only one shower/toilet block but sufficient for the 8 pitches, no queues.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere—having just 8 pitches really does help keep things nice and quiet. It’s great to hear you received a warm welcome on arrival; we’ll be sure to pass that on 😊

We’re glad the facilities worked well for you during your stay, and it’s wonderful to hear how much your son enjoyed meeting the animals—especially the donkeys! They do have a way of winning people over, no matter their age 🤣

We’d love to welcome you back again for another relaxing visit soon!

Liked Good quiet sight, and small site so not over crowded,

Disliked In a busy time the toilet facilities will be a problem, as the only toilet is in with the shower

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re really pleased you enjoyed the quiet, small nature of the site—it’s something many of our guests value.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the facilities. As a small site, we do have limited amenities, and we understand that having the toilet and shower combined may be less convenient during busier times. We’ll certainly keep this in mind as we look at ways to improve the experience for our guests.

Thanks again for your stay, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
