For those travelling with a small two man tent of up to 2.3m x 1.6m, there are two smaller grass pitches available allowing up to four guests. There are also a further four pitches for tents up to 6m x 6m and up to five guests, along with four larger pitches for tents up to 8.5m x 8.5m and up to six people.

A note from the site themselves...

We work to create wildlife habitats to benefit both the surrounding environment and our wonderful produce and crops. We have many miles of hedgerow for example, which are managed to keep the cows and sheep in the fields, but also to provide homes for birds, bats and beetles that thank us for our hospitality by feeding on the pests that damage our crops.

We use clover leys to provide nitrogen for grass growth and employ methods such as crop rotation to help with weed control and build soil fertility. Recycled wastes like compost and farmyard manures also enrich the soil and encourage growth, all in all, helping us to protect our surroundings.

VW-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Touring PitchesApr 2023

Fabulous site. Extremely clean and well organised. The showers are amazing!! The shop sells wonderful bread, cakes and vegetables plus lots more. There is a lovely shortish walk around the local area. It is just off a very busy road but the campsite is in a dip so we weren't bothered by the noise. Water is supplied with each electric hook up and they had excellent WIFI. The café on site looks excellent plus there is a good pub in walking distance.

A great stay!
