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.

VW-Type Campervan - Ensuite Grass Pitches (Tree Field)Apr 2025

We stayed a very rainy Friday to a sunny Sunday. The spa was so much fun in the rain, Amelia was friendly and helpful. The warm shower with beautiful toiletries and hairdryer were a wonderful surprise. The pitch was gorgeous! Huge with a fire pit, shelter, pretty view and a fab little hut with toilet, shower, bins and washing up facilities. We went to the Cowshed for tea one night, again, wonderfully friendly staff, gluten free bases available and a lovely selection of beers and ciders. All in all a friendly beautiful site and we will definitely be back, thank you.

Large Tent - Ensuite Grass Tent Pitches (Tree Field)Jul 2024

What a beautiful holiday we had! This campsite is so well set up with really thoughtfully and considerately laid out spacious pitches. There was loads of privacy and our children loved the space to play. We loved the outdoor eating area and the wash block on our pitch. It felt like a very luxurious camping experience, well worth the extra cost. All the little extra touches, like washing up liquid and dog poo bags, made us feel very welcome. There was a fantastic little farm shop which was so well equipped. There was so much to see and do in the local area. We will definitely be returning and have already been recommending it to all our friends and family.
