What customers say
Lovely farm stay with friendly animals roaming free. Level pitches, peaceful vibe, choose your spot. Welcoming hosts. Basic but clean facilities. Some plane noise from nearby airport. Recommended for a relaxed, back-to-basics escape.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Very easy going. Nice pub within a 10 min walk and a supermarket.

Good for a night
Unpowered grass motorhome site
Liked Liked the animals! It was a very basic square flat field. Wasn't too busy. 2 proper toilets. Basic no frills, no problem. Very close to the airport which was really noisy as planes took off, maybe 4 or 5 early morning lights took off. Good for a night.

Liked We loved our time here, we originally booked for one night but needed up booking another night. My boys loved being able to roam free and connect with the animals. The emu's, goats, sheep and alpachas were friendly. The facilities were clean and smelt great. Chris was a great host and family was friendly. Definitely coming back!!

Liked The alpacas
Disliked It was like driving into a junk yard!
You could park where you like but some people parked disrespectful, they were so close we could only just open our back door.
The place is in need of lots of Tlc.

From the manager: Hi
Thankyou for your feed back Lisa, this is a working farm not a junk yard!
You all have lots of room with no allocated pitches, we cannot control how you park, and if you were unhappy there was plenty of room for you to move!
The owners well lovely and informative…

With poor facilities.

From the manager: Many thanks for your feedback although I'm not sure what you were expecting when coming to an alpaca FARM
Toilets maybe basic but they are clean.
Animals are there to see and enjoy.

Liked A lovely and quiet off grid camping spot surrounded by alpacas, llamas, sheep and goats.
A ten minute walk to the local watering hole that serves up great pub food, local shoes and cider.

Unpowered grass motorhome site
Liked Great level site.
Really friendly hosts
Brilliant animals
We live with an airport nearby so the occasional planes didn't bother us - actually it was nice looking up.at folks going on holiday when we were already on holiday ourselves 😁
Disliked Only 2 loos (that I could find).
Not a huge problem for most of the day, but quite busy first thing in the morning.
