Shepherd's Hideaway camping pod
Liked: Sarah was absolutely lovely and we could tell she was really passionate about what she does. We booked for the Friday night as a halfway point on our trip to Scotland but we decided to book an extra night. The pod was brand new, really clean and had everything we needed, even a coffee machine. We decided to have a bbq for our tea and she has bbq packs available which she delivered to us with bread and salad even jacket potato's. The pod is located on a working farm and has cows, lambs, horses, dogs, cats and even a donkey. The toilet block was clean and tidy. We literally couldn't have asked for anymore. Thank you for a really nice weekend and keep it up. We will be booking again so my partner can see her favourite sheep "Boris" :)

Liked: The site is well designed and well maintained. The pitches are divided by fences and are level. It's a working farm. There were new lambs, calves, a donkey, a Shetland pony and alpacas. Christine offers home cooked food. We had her pizzas one evening. Very nice!
