A nice tranquil, level site, with good clean facilities.
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked We liked the quiet farm setting in a woodland glade by the lake. We liked the very spacious shower/toilet/washing cubicles that were rustic but clean and well equipped. It is near a good farm shop and bakery with lots of produce and coffee. The owner is friendly and lives nearby.
Disliked The lack of hot water at the wash basins and we’d like the showers to be hotter.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Absolutely beautiful place to stay, we walked around halfway around the lake and the farm area in the evening. The facilities are nice and clean, and the team there is very friendly and helped us when someone accidentally locked the gate
Disliked Not on the staff, but if you are planning to use the BBQ, I would suggest bringing a cleaner, as the people who used it before us didn't clean it.

Powered grass RV campsite
Liked Fabulous setting amongst the flowers and fruit trees. Very quiet and wonderful wildlife. Great bakery and farm shop on site. Really enjoyed our stay.
Disliked Lake private property and not allowed to walk around it. We had electric hook up which was a fair walk away from toilet/shower facility.

Excellent value and site with clean facilities
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked We loved this pitch up! It was a beautiful location and reasonably quiet. Staff were really friendly and helpful and gave fab recommendations. The farm shop is within walking distance and does incredible pastries and quiches! The facilities on this site were great, the showers were clean and the stoves were a life saver! We will definitely be coming back!
Disliked It’s quite difficult to find with a sat nav but gave the owner a call and was directed efficiently! I think the farm entrance should have a sign too!
