Kedvelték: The pitch was nice and flat making for a comfortable sleep. The owners were friendly and helpful. A great place for families where the kids can securely play and run around (as the whole area is fenced in and there is an electronic gate to let cars in and out).

Nem kedvelték: Unfortunately we didn't realise how many children there would be there... (This is obviously great for families and I would recommend for family camping trips) Perhaps we just came on the wrong weekend...but It was a little chaotic for us though. The camping field itself is quite small for the amount of tents that were pitched there. The only space available was right next to the children's play area and then another three people set up about four feet from our tent so there wasn't much personal space. I love animals and felt a little uncomfortable to see how happy parents were to allow their children to torment the goats and pigs...with one man even getting into the goat pen and having the children shake the fence and shout at the goats to make them chase him. This is not the fault of the owners I suppose but it made me feel pretty sad that they didn't do anything to put a stop to this, as I think it's their responsibility to make sure the animals aren't mistreated by guests. The toilet and shower facilities weren't great, with the water working intermittently and the toilets being very high up, which meant that children were making quite a bit of mess whenever they used the toilets.

Kezelői megjegyzés: Thank you for taking the time to leave your detailed review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the flat pitch, comfortable sleep, and the friendliness of our staff. We're also glad that you found our site to be a secure and enjoyable place for families. We appreciate your feedback regarding the number of children present during your stay. We aim to create a family-friendly environment, and it seems that you visited us during a particularly busy weekend. We understand that this may not have been ideal for guests seeking a quieter experience, and we're sorry for any inconvenience this caused. Regarding the proximity of tents and personal space, we currently do not have a fixed pitch plan, allowing guests the freedom to choose their own spots. This flexibility is generally appreciated by our visitors, but we understand it can sometimes lead to crowded conditions. We are considering ways to better manage this to ensure a more comfortable experience for everyone. We would like to address your concerns about the behavior towards our goats. Our goats are quite playful and do enjoy running around, which can sometimes be encouraged by the presence of visitors. However, it is important that this interaction remains respectful and gentle. We apologize if the situation you witnessed was distressing. We also regret to hear about the issues with the shower and toilet facilities and are taking steps to improve water consistency and maintain cleanliness. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. It helps us to improve and provide a better experience for all our guests. We hope to welcome you back in the future under more favorable conditions. Best regards, Dan

Kedvelték: Beautiful farm, was lovely camping around animals. Very nice family run

Nem kedvelték: Wasn’t impressed with amenities. Only 3 unisex toilets for the whole campsite, wouldn’t consider it as a toilet block. Only 1 sink to wash hands and 1 sink to wash dishes. Wouldn’t be adequate for more than 5 tents
