A note from the site themselves...

The story of how our site came to be is a bit of a funny one, and we aren't entirely sure how we exactly came to the decision to be here, but alas, we are happy that we are!

We craved the countryside, cycled around many local villages, and fell in love with the area. After a good few glasses of wine and a few online searches for land for sale, that was it, our journey began.

In 2015, we collected the keys and the business building commenced. We planted up our 27 rows of lavender, whilst still working our full-time jobs, and set about starting the campsite. Since then, we haven't looked back and love welcoming all of our guests and hope to greet you soon, Julia
