What customers say
This chill farm campsite has lovely views. Guests loved the remote spot, easy pub/shop access, and basic but clean facilities. The communal kitchen (with pizza oven!) added to the good vibes. Some found access tricky or pitches a bit wonky. Still, most enjoyed the quiet and want to come back.

Good stay good value
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked The location near what we wanted to go see a couple of nice pubs near by. The view shower and toilet, they were basic but clean and more than adequate. The relaxed feel of the place no check in the owner just popped round later to make sure we found everything ok.

Rustic, just a field and facilities. Basic but adequate.
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked This was the closest I could find to be able to attend a funeral 9 miles away, but we were both surprised by how peaceful it was. Beautiful views, peace and quiet. Just as we like it. The showers and toilets are clean and adequate, and we were fine with it, but it is very rustic. Almost wild camping. We loved it and would defiantly go again if we are in that area. We have a VW campervan.

Lovely site. Dog friendly and safe feeling as a solo traveller.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Very peaceful, only one other camper on site which was perfect for me. There was no staff on site so I just picked a spot myself which was fine. As noted in the description it’s a tiny site with a Shepard’s hut, a yurt and some other accommodation as well. I was lucky that it was just me and one other camper (and my dog!) it may have felt too busy otherwise but that’s just me being introverted and craving wildlife. Loved the outdoor kitchen, loos and shower were clean and the place just has a peaceful welcoming feel. Nice communal place to sit and have a coffee in the yard. Great little community farm fridge at the bottom of the road too for fresh oat milk and veggies. No wifi but had reception. Would definitely return.
Disliked Nothing! Great place

Lovely peaceful farm.
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Peaceful farm location, stunning scenery. Lots of tea, coffee, kettles, pizza oven. Clean sinks, toilet and shower. Felt safe there camping alone.
Disliked Scarey narrow lanes to get there, as two main lanes were closed.

Enjoyable stay, would visit again in the future
Electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Lovely peaceful site, basic but clean and adequate facilities
Disliked This is not a dislike, but just to be aware that the left hand electric plug socket for campervans at the back of the barn near the yurt is too close to the external 3 pin plugs - the plugs on the electric supply lead for vans are quite long and there isn’t enough space to fit the plug into the socket because the 3 pin plugs are in the way.

1 girl we met apologising as she didn't know where things were
Electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Very peaceful, in the middle of nowhere
Disliked Toilet and shower is part of the barn , place looks derelict, spent 1 night then stayed in family grounds , very narrow lanes for motorhomes
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: This campsite is not for everyone and clearly not suitable if you are expecting a touring site. Whilst we are able to drive a combine harvester along all of the lanes, it is narrow in places. I would not describe the barn as derelict, though it is a old cattle shed in which there are 2 toilets and a shower in an open sided barn, as described. If you are looking for a nature friendly campsite with not many other guests we would love to have you, but if you are looking for mod cons you may be better booking somewhere else or one of our cottages.
