Liked: Really loved this site. Good pitches and the boys (4&8) loved the space for playing football. Katy and David were really welcoming and the boys got to feed the chickens in the morning.

Liked: Well nothing but positive feed back from us. The site is beautiful, basic and relaxing. Just what we wanted. The grass was perfect. Short but padded felt like an expensive carpet in bare feet. Pitched where we wanted which we love, no fixed pitches. Beautiful meadow. Loved the walks nearby too. Coffee shops in walking distance. Shops and pubs very close and just eat deliver too ! The owners Katy and David were perfect. Friendly , chatty , helpful but respected your peace. Couldn’t fault anything. Toilets excellent and clean. The homemade fudge was a delicious bonus. Well done stocks farm keep up the excellent work. We will be repeat customers even if just to cuddle Sandy the most delicious Saint Bernard who lives with Katy and David.
Disliked: Absolutely nothing!

Liked: We were lucky to find this new little off grid gem at the end of August when looking for a place to camp near friends. Good price, great beautiful location and Katy and David were super friendly and super helpful answering many questions before our arrival and being very accommodating and giving lots of good suggestions of places to visit while we were there. Would definitely recommend this place and would definitely go back there.

Liked: What a brilliant site! Katy and David are fantastic hosts and made us feel very welcome even our pup! The sites super clean with the cleanest portaloos I’ve ever seen. There’s so much space we didn’t feel on top of other guests. We loved all the little touches they offer. It’s a little hidden gem and we can not wait to visit again next year. Thank you for having us
Disliked: Nothing to dislike apart from having to leave!!
