Tyckte om I joked with the owner, that with the seclusion, tranquility, and the scattered always evolving amenities, if the there was a zombie apocalypse next week, I would make my way back here pronto. The arrival can be a bit confusing (there is some renovation going on at the top of the hill), but I sent the hosts a text when we'd arrive and Sammie met us to point us down the hill to the car park. She and her husband were happy to show us to our camp, then the facilities that are all dotted around a long track winding down the hill. They've put this together over the last three years and not only does it look great, they want to see it grow, and seem to be adding or making changes daily. The yurt is fully fitted. I brought the usual camping supplies just in case, but we could have just brought clothes and toiletires. There was even a few foody things, condiments, oil, and plenty of cutlery stuff like that. Stuff you wouldn't even get if you stayed in a caravan. It gets bloody hot in there once the sun hits it, which it will as there's a lovely clear, wide view of the valley to the south. During the night, the temperature drops like a rock, though the internal wood burner would help. There isn't much in the way of activities for kids exept wandering the woods, which my boy did a lot and loved. Other than that we relaxed and prepared breakfast and tea in the little clearing by the yurt overlooking the valley, watching the horses in the field yonder do their thing. I would mention to watch your kids as there are several steep drops or embankments into the thickets and brambles, but the hosts own kid seems happy and safe bouncing around. While I think other reviews mentioned bad mobile signal, we use 5g and had plenty. Other than that, this is a safe, welcoming, woody camp site that seems to be ever evolving, and I'd love to revisit in a year. Oh, and if you don't know how to use a composting toilet, say so (the hosts were kind enough to ask, but not our first rodeo). At least one other guest seemed too ashamed to do so, and it makes things worse for other campers. Maybe a kids-proportioned toilet would help?

Tyckte om Despite not being that far from the road this place is lovely and quiet. Others have mentioned the dawn chorus; we got a robin so close to our heads he may as well have been a hotel reception! There were two large fields to chose from, and the low pitch/site count means you can have plenty of space from anyone else. Everything is doubled up: wash stations, showers, and compost toilets my kid was fascinated by. He also loved the repurposed horse box for recycling, and the old equipment decorating the place. The chickens and pigs were a delight to chat to. The reception hut is for signing in, buying wood or renting a firepit, and gives enough info to get you settled. The hosts like to visit in the evening, but it absolutely tipped it down, so we don't blame them for not making the treck. We found a spot, settled in, and had a lovely night. The view of the valley was quite beautiful, and we did manage to spot some hares in the field below. There aren't any attractions within walking distance, we knew this going in, but it would have been nice to see more of the farm. The signs say to keep to the camp site as it is a working farm, which we did, but a cordoned off walk around a couple of the quieter fields would have been a nice addition - especially for kids with a lot of energy to burn. The forecast gave light rain but it tipped it down. The wind was meant to gust at about 25mph, but I have camped in gale conditions and I've never hears wind like this. It sounded like crashing ocean waves! Highly recommended if you're a kind of 'no bad weather' person.

Tyckte om Had to cancel my booking on the day, but owner was very polite and asked if I wanted to change it. I had to decline due to a conflict, but will definitely be re-booking next trip in the area.
