Electric optional grass tent pitch
Liked Beautiful views and good facilities on site. The resident peacock family were lovely and very tame.
Disliked The grass for tent pitches needs more regular cutting. Toilets needed more regular cleaning too.

Overall a lovely peaceful campsite. Would definitely return.
Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Good kitchen/ cooking and toilet facilities, and spacious pitches. Nice quiet spot. Wi-Fi in the communal room. Close to Keswick.
Disliked Toilets and bins could have been slightly cleaner. They weren’t too bad but they weren’t cleaned and emptied everyday. (We were there 3 days. So some bins were full to the brim. The toilet floor had been mopped but sinks and toilets weren’t wiped down so this was my only gripe tbh. But is a working farm so I understand they’re busy.
