What customers say
This secluded, tranquil farm site boasts stunning rural views and a peaceful atmosphere. Guests rave about the incredibly friendly and accommodating hosts, the abundant farm animals, and opportunities for farm tours and animal interaction. Sites are clean, level, gravel with electric hook-up. Lacking on-site toilet/waste facilities is clearly communicated and reflected in the great value. Fresh farm produce available.

From the manager: Hi. Disappointed with you giving a Review as above, specially as you never stayed.
When you booked, I sent a email to yourselves as some folk miss reading all our description which explains we don’t have facilities apart from electric hookup.
You arrived about 4pm and our son noticed you had a roof tent, he asked if you had facilities and you said “no” he replied asking what were you going to do for the bathroom and you replied we have just been, but who doesn’t need the bathroom from 4pm until about 10am in the morning??
On Our site you have to be self contained.
I also sent an email to yourselves after you left apologising about the situation and even though we don’t normally do it offered to refund you. You’ve never written back.
Please read the descriptions fully next time, incase you get caught out again.
Juanella and Willie.
Wonderful highlight of our NC500 tour!!
Powered gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Everything about it was great. Will was a wonderful host, great to chat to and learn about the local area.
We went on the buggy tour which was great? 4 x 50 uear olds turned into kids for a few hours. Fabulous to meet all the animals but Colin the calf and the highland cows were a real treat. We could see and hear deer rutting in the distance. For us, this campsite experience was a definite highlight to our NC500 tour ✨️ The fabulous communal space meant we could have a glass of wine with cheese and biscuits evening too. We purchased some beef burgers and sausages made at the farm for our journey onwards and enjoyed those on a bbq the following night with the left over Stilton!! Pinch us, we're in NC500 heaven 😂 ....thank you Will and family.

Lovely spot, self contained campers only, but well worth the stay.
Powered gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Quiet, peaceful, secluded, the views. Just us and one other motorhome. Though a working farm, I didn't feel like there was noise that disturbed us and because the pitches are in a gated area, you felt separated from the farm even though it's just around the corner. The owner has a well furnished small cabin, where you can buy their own sausages and burgers at a very reasonable price for what you get. There's also some seating and a hand wash basin.
We took our two collies and the owner allowed us to use the field opposite to let them off unleashed.
It was so nice to have them play fetch with amazing sunrise views.
The farm does have 6 working Collie dogs, all of whom are unleashed but very friendly. There was the youngest looking 15 year old Collie I've ever seen who has retired, that just loves the attention.

Wonderful tranquil farm setting with lots of lovely animals
Powered gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Our host was wonderfully friendly and accommodating. There was history of the farm in the area which we really liked. The animals especially the eight border collies were wonderful and they took me for a walk! It was peaceful, tranquil and everything you needed all too soon we had to move on Because of our schedule. I wish we hadn’t act leave thank you very much.
Disliked Absolutely nothing everything was perfect
