What customers say

A quiet, adults-only farm stay. Loved for clean facilities, great showers, and peaceful vibe. Close to coast, with horses on-site. Friendly owners, good value. Some mention muddy pitches when wet.

Liked The place was very quiet just what we wanted .The showers, toilet and washing up area was spotless. The only fault was you picked your own place and the owner never introduced herself. You had to find everything yourself.
