Freshwinds is a real find. We enjoyed every moment of our stay there and are looking forward to going back as soon as we can. From the moment we arrived, we were busy feeding lambs and exploring the farm. The hosts, Tim and Anne, are fabulous and involved our girls in duties around the farm which they both thoroughly enjoyed. Our youngest was all over the fairy tent and loved going for walks. The eldest helped bring in the donkeys and goats. The accommodation is fantastic and the way the yurts are situated is very private so that you feel like you are the only people there. The outdoor kitchen and dining area, private loo and shower, plumbed in gas and a boiler to make sure that showers are warm are a stroke of genius and make all the difference. Freshwinds exceeded all our expectations. We absolutely loved staying there and hope to be back soon.
Overall great campsite

Great campsite, loved the trail, amazing atmosphere, and no light pollution meant star gazing was amazing. Loved the fire pit, wash facilities are a bit tired, but will come again.
Offered us everything that we're looking for as a quiet, friendly rural retreat

An idyllic, quiet, sheltered setting, with generously sized pitches in a long field bordered entirely by woodland. Each pitch had its own fire pit and large bags of well burning firewood were available cheaply. Facilities included hot running water and two showers. The site struck a good balance between 'wild camping' and needful amenities, including a central play fort for the children and a couple of tree swings. We enjoyed a mix of weather and ground conditions remained good. We loved it there.
