Liked: This was the second time that we've stayed here and already booked for next year. We love this campsite. The kids are happy playing (even though there was a bouncy castle there this time.) Hoist/ owner is so welcoming and friendly. The chips in the little cafe are lovely. Toilets clean and showers were warm. We can't wait to come back.

Camping pod
Liked: Lovely cosy pod. Nice clean facilites with a decent shower. Very friendly owners and staff. Pod had all basics covered including a little kettle and mugs. Very comfy sofa bed. Was nice having the animals close by. Play area for children in the field opposite.
Disliked: No fault of the owners or site but there was a lot of wasps around our pod.

Liked: Fab find, we were blown away by the service the whole team were great and couldn't do enough for us. Free bouncy caste and a large playing field kept the little ones happy. Secure field allowed us parents to relax. Walking Pinks the Horse and petting the rabbits guinea pigs ducks and chickens were a huge hit! Donna Kayleigh and the team were amazing we can't wait till next year!
Disliked: The many trips to empty/load the car. Completely understand why but if we could just pull up to load or unload that would have been perfect! WiFi marked 1 star as there wasn't any and I couldn't leave it blank!

Liked: Quiet, small, very clean facilities, helpful staff, fire pit, cafe.
Disliked: Tents a little too close to neighbouring campers. Cold water put us off staying a second night as we'd got drenched climbing pen y fan and with 3 children were I desperate need of warm water to warm us up. No fault on campsite part, it does clearly say this in description.

Liked: Kids really enjoyed the free bouncy castle. The little animal experience the kids really enjoyed and really good price. Toilets and showers can’t fault them absolutely sparkling. Very helpful staff the one man who helped us a couple of times was so friendly and made sure that if we needed anything else to just ask. Good location not far from lots of attractions. Would we visit again absolutely.

Liked: Absolutely amazing!!! What a perfect place for our family. We went with 3 other parties and were put next to eachother in the field. Lots of space for our children to run around and play. Even better that the area was fenced off and secure. We made use of the firepit the 2 nights we stayed and we all sat around it toasting marshmallows. The children had use of another field directly opposite with a bouncy castle and football goals. They had so much fun. Was tricky at times carrying our gear to the car but that's what happens when you stay on a farm so we didn't mind. There was a themed night on the Saturday and food and drinks were available. We didn't stay too long there as we had plenty of food and drink in our tent. The toilets were very very clean each time we used them. Really can't wait to book and come again. Another plus was after hours, a simple txt message asking the owners for more fire wood was answer within seconds and a code was given to us to get the wood and we paid at the cafe the following morning. Thank you for letting us stay. We will we back!

Liked: Ideal small family friendly with pitch's on the level. The camping area was gated which enable the children to run around. Liked that fire pits were allowed for the cool evening. Children enjoyed the animals onsite.
Disliked: One set of toilets did not have lighting so torch was required.
