This peaceful, spacious campsite on a working farm earns praise for its rural setting, friendly hosts, and clean facilities. Guests enjoy the ample room and farm animals, though some mention potential early morning farm noise and limited restrooms during peak times.

Anonymous Bell tent
Liked Amazing peaceful campsite. Stayed with two children to get them off the tech for a while! They loved the space and freedom to explore. Sadie was lovely and couldn’t do enough to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The bell tent took the ‘stress’ out of camping having the tent and beds already set up was a godsend. My boys loved it and said it was the best campsite they’ve been to. They loved making hot chocolate, toasting marshmallows on the gas stove and then retiring to the beds in the spacious tent.
Great space for children, bring their toys and let them bug hunt. Brilliant truly peaceful campsite.
Disliked Absolutely nothing, would stay here again.

Peaceful, rural site on a working farm.
Anonymous Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked So much space, the camping field is huge. The owner was so welcoming, and so kind and generous. The toilets and showers were great.
The proximity of the River Stour was a major draw for me. It's only 10 minutes away by car to some great paddleboarding at Friar's Meadow in Sudbury. Great cycling in the area too.
I had some fresh eggs from their own hens, which were lovely.
Disliked I didn't dislike anything. It's on a working farm, and the gate gets locked at night. One night, I'd eaten out at the pub, and the gate was locked when I came back. No problem, I just left the car in the farmyard and walked in. It might be an issue if you're in a van though. Check with the owner, I'm sure she'd work something out.

Liked Friendly, great for kids, peaceful, lots of wildlife, clean and comfortable tent. The bell tent did not get too hot despite the heatwave. Very spacious and safe for kids to run around.
