What customers say
Clean, well-kept site with stunning views & peaceful vibes. Staff are great! Kids love the farm. Just a heads-up: loos can be tight when busy, and the playground needs farm tickets.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Right next to Thorton Hall, for the kids.
Facilities were basic but fine for our needs.
Milkshake place down the road was great.
Close enough to pubs and shops
Disliked Pitches were quite tight and close together.
Not much to do on site for the kids and no shade from the sun. Could do with some shadey spots, trees, perhaps some play equipment.
Facilities needed a bit more maintenance/up keep (topping up soap, repair to loo roll dispenser etc), holes in ground on pitches.
Generally ok for a couple of nights away though

Large site with not many bathroom facilities
Electric grass pitch
Liked The staff were very nice especially Paul the night warden.
Disliked Pitch 14 had 2 large gravel tracks that forced us to move the tent a lot further forward, the ground was very uneven. Only 3 toilets and 2 showers for a large site was obviously not even and over the weekend queues would form. Lots of noise after 8 and to be honest I think it’s too early. Kids and adults walking under are tent and kids just dumping bikes all over.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The view. The quietness. Big pitches. All very tidy in appearance.
Disliked The showers and toilets were like the kind you see when builders are converting a property and sit a portaloo outside. Tiny and no way of dressing after a shower without wetting your clothes. Clean so it was fine. £6 for WiFi seemed excessive after the plot fee.

Electric grass pitch
Liked The place was lovely. It was very clean, it had maintenance on the site all the time. All the staff were lovely and helpful. Was a lot of open space for the kids to play. The farm on site was lovely and plenty to do for all my boys ages 2,6 and 13. The food was also lovely in the play area. Would definitely return.
Disliked My only down side was the price of the farm and play area. As it is literally where you camp and when you have a very challenging 6 year old that wants to go play in the play area and on the outdoor park all the time it’s hard to explain that yes the park is right there but you have to pay for the farm to go play on it. We did pay twice to go on the farm but once we went back to the tent after the farm closed my child was still wanting to play on the outdoor park which wasn’t accessible and had signs stating you’d be asked to leave if anyone was seen on it. I know it’s not a major issue at all, it just would be lovely if the outdoor park was accessible until later on and open especially on the light summer nights.
