What customers say

A friendly, quiet campsite with great views. Guests loved the helpful owners, clean facilities, and peaceful vibe. The Arch was cosy and clean, with fresh eggs a bonus. Minor points were more plugs and better dishwashing cover. Access without a car can be tricky.

Liked It was our first camping trip as a family and it was absolutely amazing from easy signing in all the way to when we left. The owners are friendly and will help you if needed. Its a nice small campsite which we found great with a little one running around. We loved how close the horses were and so did out little one.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Patrycja A.

Cabin

Liked Everything you need is there. Small fridge, Plates, cutlery, mugs, wine glasses, kettle, cooking pot, frying pan, bottle opener, bbq tongs, cleaning equipment, chairs and table for outside. Very clean cabin.
Small but cosy piece of land. Enough space between each tent. Even though it is just next to the road it is very quiet. Cabin is surrounded by the bushes which makes it a cozy corner to rest.
2 cabins with toilet and shower in each. And washing stand next to it.

Disliked The blanket I took just in case turned out to be useful as it got cold at night due to the wooden walls not being 100% tight. But there is even a small heater provided.

Liked Lovely little campsite, very friendly and well maintained site. Situated in stunning surroundings with amenities a short drive away.

Disliked Only thing I could say negative was some of the pitches sloped. Not that it stopped or hindered the trip .

Powered grass site

Liked Very friendly owner (who rescued my son's play tent when it tried to go flying while we were out!) and a beautiful, clear, dark sky for star gazing - we saw meteor showers every night. We never had to wait more than a few seconds to use the toilets/showers all weekend, despite every pitch being full most days. A lovely cosy site with very convenient water points and well-marked pitches with ample space.

Disliked The only downside was literally a downside - the pitches slope and it was hard to get the caravan level! However, the owner told us that there will hopefully be more level pitches in future, and we'll definitely be back to test them out.

Very clean cabin, beds were so cosy.

Camping pod

Liked The view!!! Just stunning
The cabin has lots of 'extras' we weren't expecting such as tea, hand soap etc
Lots of space in the middle of the field for the children to play even though all the pitches were full.
Check in and out was simple

Disliked The shower was a bit temperamental and was freezing but found if you run the sink tap until it's hot and shut it off then quickly turn on the shower then that lead to hot water!

an excellent stay and a very accommodating Naomi.

Liked Tent site was clean, quiet and surrounded by nature..very good for unwinding. Good play area , small but just enough for kids to be seen while playing. a friendly place.

Disliked Toilets are clean but could do with more units. washing area could also be added with light at night and shade or roof during the day use ( rain or shine)
