What customers say
Peaceful vineyard site with spacious spots & great views. Enjoyable wine tastings with the friendly owner. Facilities are basic (compost toilet), some find it charmingly primitive. Owner's dog is mostly friendly but can be a bit cheeky! Good for short, off-grid stays and wine lovers.

Unpowered grass and earth caravan site
Liked The site was absolutely fantastic!! The owners were extremely welcoming and helpful. There was plenty of room with such beautiful scenery. We bought 2 bottles of their wine which we are very much looking forward to having. The price is very reasonable.
We had a few issues due to the cold weather such as a frozen handbrake and getting stuck in the mud and the owner was very helpful by providing hot water to pour on the brakes and using his truck to tow us out.
We would 1000% stay here again!!!
Disliked The toilet is very basic but does the job. No other issues, it was a great site!!!

Unpowered grass and earth caravan site
Liked Nothing
Disliked Difficult and rutted track in You had to pick your way to prevent the caravan from bottoming
Field was soggy and there was evidence of other vehicles getting stuck
I was the only guest so I asked the owner if I could stay in the yard for the night
He refused Faced with this I had no option but to leave and stayed the night on an aire by the A63
A dreadful experience
I need any payment refunded

From the manager: Mr David,
I do not understand your complaint because it is true that the access road is difficult. Following a decision by the local council, I am obliged to have vehicles take another route. I cannot believe that I refused to allow your vehicle to be parked in the courtyard because, in wet weather, I ask customers whether they would prefer to stay in the courtyard or on a paved area. I do my utmost to be as accommodating as possible with campers. Did you announce your arrival or did you park without my consent?
Please believe me when I say that I am very saddened to read your negative review and I sincerely apologise.
I cannot be accused of too many of these criticisms when I am trying to offer travellers a comfortable and unforgettable experience.

Liked Casual attitude and beautiful country setting. Sites are elevated, unmarked in a field with a wonderful view 360degrees and fabulous sunset with beautiful clear skies like we enjoy in New Zealand our home.
Invitation to the Wine Tasting, fantastic night, hearing the history of the Vineyard and Winery. Wonderful host in the owner and wine maker Benoit assisted by Donna who was from England. Lots of fun and laughter by the group and some seriously good wines tasted. Proof is the purchases!
Disliked Nothing.
Remember this is a very reasonable park over stop with just a toilet, but for motorhomes
, no problem as you have everything anyway.
