Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Lovely site and friendly owners. Having our own dedicated toilet on the pitch was superb! Such an amazing site with superb views. Waking up to the noise of the birds, sheep and cows was so relaxing. I live in an urban area now but come from a very rural area so to be back in a farming heartland especially during hay harvest time was just incredible for me. We’d had a lot of stress before going away and this site was so lovely that we relaxed straight away. It has everything you need but the owners are happy to help if you need anything else. The pitches are huge and well spaced. We had an 8 person tent plus extension, the car and still had tons of room. There’s a fire pit on each pitch too along with a raised metal grill. Plentiful supply of water from a tap in the field which has really good pressure so no waiting 3 hours just to fill a cup! Everything was beautifully clean as well which was a real joy. A really lovely experience and we’ll definitely be going back.
Disliked: Very happy to say there is nothing I didn’t like!

Liked: We stayed here in our little campervan over the coronation weekend and had a lovely stay. Really friendly owner who regularly checked in that we were ok. Our daughter loved chatting to 'the farmer'. We made our own pizza BYO toppings, with the owner providing the dough, passata and chef skills! Beautiful site with really spacious pitches with a fab amount of space between pitches. Amazing space in the centre of the field for children to play without disturbing other campers. Lovely small site with great views. Little to no light pollution in the nights so we could stargaze around the fire pit. Each pitch gets its own firepit and picnic bench, with a wood storage shed at the entrance to the field. Each pitch also has its own composting toilet, much nicer than sharing with loads of other people! Will definitely book again.
Disliked: Not a dislike just a suggestion - more hooks in the shower and a little bench to make it easier to get dressed please :-)

From the manager: We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay. All suggestions are welcome - we'll do something about the hooks as soon as possible! Thank you for your kind words.

Liked: Each pitch has its own composting toilet. Remote location in beautiful countryside, site has a nice view down the valley, pitches are well spaced out and facilities are excellent. Owners are helpful and friendly and a really nice touch was the home made pizza night on the outdoor pizza oven, byo ingredients and the farmer provided the doe, cheese and passata then cooked them for us. Lots of places to visit on south coast or west coast within one hour drive.

Bell tent
Liked: It was a lovely venue, very remote and quiet. Plenty of greenery to explore and enjoy. The owner very kindly gave us the two bell tents as they were free. Lots of equipment and tools to use.
Disliked: The weather was awful, with heavy rain and strong winds. The bell tent held up but the wind kept blowing the fire out unfortunately. That's the risk with camping though!!

Genuinely lovely site, and the owners were very friendly.
