What customers say
Great farm glamping! Clean, cosy pods with thoughtful extras. Hosts are super friendly, location's peaceful with stunning views. Good for kids & dogs. Some found child beds a bit tight & tap water a bit iffy, but overall great value and a fab base for exploring.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews

Camping pod
Liked We liked everything. The pod was spotless clean- really pleased with that and cutely decorated. We received few welcome treats for the campfire. The host was welcoming, he brought firewood for campfires and made an extra journey to deliver it to us. Bottled water is needed but that’s fine by us. In the kitchen was everything we needed. The third and the fourth bed are smaller so preferably for children. Thank you so much. We will definitely come again.

Fantastic, super clean and safe.
Camping pod
Liked Absolutely incredible farm and owners. The pods were super clean, warm and incredibly cosy with the small details like decorations, fragrance, gift basket, clean bedding, towels and extra blankets. Just lovely. We were given plenty of wood and fire starter. Highly recommend this place. Thank you so much

A cosy half term break, even in autumn, with lovely friendly hosts.
Camping pod
Liked The pods are well appointed, with everything we needed for cooking dinner, although it was a bit cold for eating outside. The space heaters were very useful, but we particularly loved the hot water bottle that was provided with marshmallows and hot chocolate in the welcome basket. There was plenty of wood to have fires in the fire pit throughout our stay, and the beds were very comfortable. The children loved making friends with the farm animals, particularly the ponies, chickens and rescue deer.
Disliked The bathroom in Pod 3 could use updating. The water has an odd colour and a strong mineral taste. Bring bottled for cooking and hot drinks.
