A note from the site themselves...

Welcome to our site, we are a very close-knit family and team here, and all of the animals, and people, on the farm are very important to us. You may be greeted by the cats, Snuggles and India, who are always happy to receive some attention and fuss and Fidget, the football loving dog.

We are three families, all running different businesses onsite. Martin and Amelia run the campsite and wild spa, with the help of Harry, who you might see out on the mowers!

Trailer Tent - Ensuite Grass Pitches for vans or tents (Tree Field)Sep 2023

Very cool campsite, lovely big pitches and having the private toilet and shower area is a game changer.

Small Tent - Ensuite Grass Tent Pitches (Tree Field)Aug 2023

Great location - quiet in the day and night, no light pollution at night so saw loads of shooting stars. Very nicely spaced out pitches so allowed for privacy. Facilities were great - was nice to have your own personal shower and toilet cabin, and the covered seating area and fire pit were used by us every day. Only negative was that we struggled to get firewood as the shop is closed on Monday and Tuesday.

Stunningly beautiful

Large Tent - Ensuite Campervan Or Tent PitchesAug 2023

So very peaceful and quiet. Campsite was very clean, pitch was ready early and huge. We stayed on 'Toffee' and had spectacular views of the Pembrokeshire countryside. Would definitely book again for next year.
