Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: We stayed here in our little campervan over the coronation weekend and had a lovely stay. Really friendly owner who regularly checked in that we were ok. Our daughter loved chatting to 'the farmer'. We made our own pizza BYO toppings, with the owner providing the dough, passata and chef skills! Beautiful site with really spacious pitches with a fab amount of space between pitches. Amazing space in the centre of the field for children to play without disturbing other campers. Lovely small site with great views. Little to no light pollution in the nights so we could stargaze around the fire pit. Each pitch gets its own firepit and picnic bench, with a wood storage shed at the entrance to the field. Each pitch also has its own composting toilet, much nicer than sharing with loads of other people! Will definitely book again.
Disliked: Not a dislike just a suggestion - more hooks in the shower and a little bench to make it easier to get dressed please :-)

From the manager: We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay. All suggestions are welcome - we'll do something about the hooks as soon as possible! Thank you for your kind words.

Liked: Each pitch has its own composting toilet. Remote location in beautiful countryside, site has a nice view down the valley, pitches are well spaced out and facilities are excellent. Owners are helpful and friendly and a really nice touch was the home made pizza night on the outdoor pizza oven, byo ingredients and the farmer provided the doe, cheese and passata then cooked them for us. Lots of places to visit on south coast or west coast within one hour drive.

Bell tent
Liked: It was a lovely venue, very remote and quiet. Plenty of greenery to explore and enjoy. The owner very kindly gave us the two bell tents as they were free. Lots of equipment and tools to use.
Disliked: The weather was awful, with heavy rain and strong winds. The bell tent held up but the wind kept blowing the fire out unfortunately. That's the risk with camping though!!

Genuinely lovely site, and the owners were very friendly.

Liked: Quiet site, host was excellent, mighty fine pizzas, tent was comfortable, cooking facilities also splended. Loved it...
Disliked: Kitchen could have done with a few more utensils - such as cutting knives and a Baird.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your kind words. We'll definitely add the chopping board but I'm not sure about putting cutting knives in the kitchen, simply for safety reasons as we are a family campsite. We're glad that you enjoyed your stay and would like to thank you for leaving everything in such a good condition.
