What customers say
A tranquil, tidy park with great ablutions. Owners are super friendly, helpful, and add thoughtful touches like an honesty shop. Lovely rural spot for stargazing, though some found toilet door noise a bit much.

Disliked Nothing about the site but just a note as its on a hill it can get cold at night.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Toilet facilities and overall cleanliness is great. Great field and grass is just right.
Disliked To me. It doesn't feel like you're camping. I got told my pitch number after calling them and for £25/n it felt like I was in an extremely diet BYO glamping experience.
I just really didn't feel comfortable with it. Having been given paperwork as I'm pitching up was really weird and for the price I've had much more cozier campsites for much less.
For £25 and we *have* to walk to our pitch, but rather saying it "helps give the camping experience" Just say it helps keep the grass well kept? Why not be honest on your site?
I dunno, I've had more enjoyment and a more fulfilling experience from much more affordable campsites for half that cost. It's not a laxxed sort of site to me, felt very rule-focused. Some people like that. I really don't, left as soon as I got up.

From the manager: It is normal procedure for our site to allocate pitch numbers on arrival, as this avoids people pitching to close to each other for safety reasons and makes sure everyone has a nice large pitch with a view, not the back of someones tent.
We do not allow cars on the tent pitch area as this makes for a safer and more pleasant camping experiance, especially if people have young children with them, the pitch used in this instance was 70ft from the car park and barrows are provided to carry camping equipment if needed. We do not feel we are over the top with any site rules, but we do want everyone to have a nice stay with us :)
Excellent site with new and clean facilities. The owner is friendly.

Beautiful small rural campsite with great facilities.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked I only spent one night camping here, instead of the planned two, due to upcoming bad weather, but the facilities were spotless and the owners were lovely. Had everything you could need really. Beautiful quiet location out in the countryside. Loved the big floppy eared goats. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Liked Lovely, quiet campsite with thoughtful touches such as somewhere to refreeze cold packs.
Lots of space for children to play. My son made friends with the other children and they were all playing football together.
All very clean. Nice showers.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked We loved this family oriented site. It’s small and perfectly formed with good facilities, exactly what we needed. Spotlessly clean Showers, toilets and small communal kitchen area. Having a kettle available and some ice blocks we could borrow was fantastic as our electrics blew when we arrived. I loved that it’s quiet with only a few van spots
Disliked N/A liked it all!

Rowan shepherd's hut
Liked We absolutely LOVED this place. It’s super well maintained, super cute and they have the sweetest goats ever!! And the night sky is amazing on a clear day with very little light pollution.
We loved the honestly shop - we got some marshmallows from there and I loved that you could donate to plant a tree too.
The owners were really lovely too.
There’s an option where you can ask to be shown around the farm too to learn about how they run it. We didn’t do this due to lack of time, but for sure would do when we return!
