What customers say
This beautiful, peaceful campsite has spacious spots with stunning rural views. Guests love the spotless facilities, especially the well-equipped communal barn. Friendly, helpful owners create a welcoming vibe. Some queues for the two loos at busy times, but it's a highly recommended escape for a quiet break.

Beautiful peaceful setting
Unpowered grass campervan or tent site
Liked Stunning land, location and views. Very peaceful setting and well cared for. I enjoyed walking around the land in the early morning.
Great facilities- immaculate toilets and showers and exceptional kitchen and barn area.
Disliked Disappointing that 2 local friends could not come and visit us - they would have loved to see the place and would have promoted it to other folk.

From the manager: Hi Jane,
I’m so pleased you overall enjoyed your stay despite not being able to invite your friends over to enjoy the facilities and grounds too. We have a no visitors policy to keep the site quiet and peaceful for all of our paying guests, which is why we limit the number of people on site.
There is a lovely pub very near by ( 10 minutes walk) where it is easy to catch up with local friends! We take pride in being a quiet hideaway for campers who enjoy good facilities in a natural and beautiful setting far away from the crowds.
Kind regards,
Frida

Liked Absolutely fantastic! So much space and peace. Toilets and showers are immaculate. The barn is amazing - what a beautiful and well provisioned space to be able to use.
Disliked I loved this fact but some might not …. My O2 phone signal was almost non-existent so no internet data and hard to make/take calls.
