The best place I have ever stayed in with my campervan.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked A small, excellent site with everything to recommend it. The whole site is well thought out, with the spacious pitches separated by privacy/ wind break fencing. The host is knowledgeable, friendly and usually busy caring for the many pets but still has time to chat. The large games room and kitchen is a lovely addition.
The best place I have ever stayed in with my campervan.
Disliked Nothing to improve.

Peaceful place to recharge your batteries
Barkers Bay FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked We were pleased with the size of the enclosed pitch we booked - fantastic for the dogs to be able to mooch freely, though they were surprised when two alpaca heads appeared over the fence! We had a peaceful relaxing break and enjoyed being in close proximity to all the animals. Facilities were very good - clean washroom, well-equipped games room, big enclosed dog field and wonderful birdsong to wake up to.
We don't generally return to sites we've visited, preferring something new, but we're planning to return here because we loved it.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked My Sister and I really enjoyed this site. Small family run site which was friendly and practical. Well set out with picnic tables at each pitch, a playground for the children, animals and wood carvings added to the overall experience.
Everything was clean and everyone was friendly with spacious pitches
Disliked A bit windy

Liked Everything. Amazing place, very nice people. We felt very welcomed. If you ask our son the opportunity of riding the donkey was the highlight of our holiday.

Best kids site I've stayed on.
Barkers Bay FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Wow, what a site! We were met on arrival by the owner and taken to our pitch (Barkers, with gated access for our 3yr old) the pitch is joined onto the Llamas and sheep, and the goats on the other side. And can see the horse, Shetland pony and the donkey. We were then shown around the site and made to feel very welcome.
We met Michelle on the evening who is equally as lovely, and chatted about all the animals. You can tell how well loved they are. The morning of leaving Paul took our little out on the quad, and brought the donkey to us for a little ride around the field. Such a lovely touch and made our boys day. And mine! The games room and park are an added bonus to keep kids entertained, there's plenty of toys to chose from, a great shelf of books and a great little kitchen for making cuppas, and storing food in fridge/freezer. The bathroom was clean and provided everything you would need (obviously bring your own towels etc) I can't wait to come again and stay longer.
Well done guys on a fab site 😁
Disliked Absolutely nothing.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
We are a little disappointed that some of your scores are a little low and would love to know what we can do to improve on them? For customer service and showers please let us know where we can improve? We show everyone onto their pitch and give them a tour of all of the facilities and normally have lovely comments about our showers and facilities.
Kind regards
Michelle
