What customers say
Guests love the gorgeous, clean site, welcoming hosts, and feeling safe. The wild camping vibe, freedom to pitch up, and campfires are a hit. Portaloos are a mixed bag, but most reckon they're fine for this kind of escape. Peaceful, handy spot, great for families and solo folk. Loads want to come back.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked I enjoyed the 'wild' nature of the campsite, being able to pitch where I liked and there was plenty of space.
Disliked I could have done with more information on where to find water, and the portaloo was close to overflowing. The double gate system to get into the campsite also seemed unnecessary. It wasn't really needed but I couldn't connect to any advertised WiFi.

From the manager: Hi
Thanks for your booking , I will change the description of where the tap is thank you but we have just fitted a second. As the farm and not a camp site per se (it’s only a 60 day pop up wild camp ) is our home the double gates are necessary due to protecting the animals from PROW users who have let animals onto the road resulting sadly in a death. We would prefer not to have them too

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Beautiful site, very clean and tidy, the peacocks were a fantastic surprise in the morning. The communication with the hosts was absolutely incredible, and as a woman camping alone I felt very safe. Portaloo was much cleaner and well stocked than I anticipated. All in all, a really good nights stay ready for the GNR the following day.
Disliked N/A as it exceeded expectation

Liked The surrounding areas were beautiful. This was my first time away in my van and i was really stressed, but once i got myself sorted, i was calm and relaxed.
I would definetly go back. The walks are beautiful. Thank you so much.
Disliked Unfortunatley one of the owners was admitted to hospital. I am sending you a speedy recovery and get well soon. Hopefully next time, we will get to say hi. GET WELL SOON

Liked The area is beautiful
I felt safe and secure travelling with my Grandaughter
The public walks could be better sign posted. It would have been nice to know if we could buy some fresh eggs and the toilet had seen better days
I would stay here again
Thank you

From the manager: Thank you so much for your booking
I could have gifted you some eggs we had plenty too. Thanks very much x
Absolutely terrible
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Nothing
Disliked Absolutely everything. Dogs barking. Dog muck in the field. Reminants of big bonfires everywhere. Stayed half an hour didn’t even put up gbe tent then left. Booked another campsite 5 minutes away called valley view camp site which was exact opposite. Do yourself a favour and give this one a miss.
Wouldn’t give them 1 star but it’s not an option.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: There is no dog muck everywhere, you stayed 30 minutes & chose not to pitch on the wild camping field & when I text you, you hadn’t even been on the fields ! which was a shame as was a good weekend
Friendly staff

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely quiet place.
Disliked The portaloo had the worst smell ever and didn’t flush. Kids wouldn’t use it.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review . Sorry the portaloo must have gone out of water but I did say text any worries at all and we would be straight there & could have filled the tank & cleaned
Would come back
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked We came early so got a good pitch nice and flat and out the way really enjoyed our stay
Disliked Could of done with an extra toilet or 2
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you very much for your kind review . We would love to be able to afford 2 portaloo but it would make the wild camping field unviable to continue due to cost of professional servicing & hire. Hopefully one day we might expand & be great to offer proper toilet block
