Liked Pitches were well spaced out, everything was basic but was there. And we really enjoyed going back to basics for a change! We particularly liked showering under the willow tree, was a fun way to shower. The compost toilet was new to us. But was actually quite pleasant, dare I say, nicer than other ‘normal’ toilets than we have used in the past. I met the host on arrival and she explained where to find water and told us about the site.

Disliked The shower and the washing up facilities were quite a walk away, I would have personally chose a pitch nearer the facilities, however I feel a lot of thought went into our assigned pitches, meaning we spaced out. We just drove to the shower as I didn’t want the children walking back to the tent cold, as the shower is cold.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments. Other people have also said that they were surprised how pleasant the compost loos actually are. I agree with where I put you on the campsite was at one end of it so about 75 metres to the compost loo and 130 metres to the shower and sink. Love your ingenuity or driving to it to keep warm. Also my fault a bit as usually put people with young children in the middle of the field so they are close to the compost loo and play area and not so far to the shower. I was trying to space campers out a bit as not a full campsite. Will try to ensure that children regardless of age are nearer the centre of the field.

Liked We really enjoyed our stay. We were in our element with the animals and my daughter made friends with the donkeys next to our tent. Was absolutely lush to go get icecream/iced coffee after putting up the tent on a boiling hot day! And we met the host and his family, who are all really lovely. We also brought burgers and sausages from the farm shop for our dinner, which were delicious! We will definitely be back again next year! We had good 5g internet on the field in the day (important for keeping daddy up to date with photos!) But the signal dropped in the evening, and picked up again in the morning, may be worth while to note if you are wanting to connect with family.

Disliked We couldn’t work out how to make the shower warm, which wasn’t a massive deal breaker as we wanted showers to cool down. Not much shade in the field, so on a really hot day, choose a pitch in the top left corner! We were quite envious to begin with.. but then realised we chose the corner (bottom right) closest to the animals, so that made up for being hot in the day.
