A note from the site themselves...

In the adjoining fields to our site, you can see our resident cows and ponies who will be happy to be your neighbours for the duration of your stay. The other wildlife you can expect to see include deer and pheasants which can often be seen in the surroundings of the park.

A huge variety of birds can also be found within the grounds and our onsite dog walk takes you around the perimeter of the three fields which also takes you down by the three small fishing lakes.

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

We loved everything about this campsite. The location, the layout, the trees and bushes between pitches making it not seem just like a caravan parking lot. All the staff seemed very chilled and I've never been to a campsite that was so peaceful. Hearing owls all evening and a huge sky full of stars made it feel very special.

Thank you for your lovely review, Elise. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us, come back soon!

Lovely campsite

Shepherd's Hut - Shepherd's HutSep 2023

We had a lovely stay at Hill farm Cottage, staying in the Shepherd's Hut. Campsite was beautiful with very green lawns and the hut itself was perfect, super clean and had everything we needed. Showers and toilets were always immaculate and really enjoyed the walk through the woods to the pub. I'd definitely recommend this place and am very keen to return!

Excellent, thanks Sophie, glad you enjoyed it. See you soon!

Perfect for kids and dogs

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

Lovely campsite. Showers and toilets very clean and modern, lots of waste disposal points and a lovely walk for the dog from site. Only 15 min walk into the village, which was great as didn't need to use the car at all. We were lucky to be in sight of the playpark so could keep an eye on the kids. It's a small site but very well looked after and friendly staff too.

Thank you for your great review, Annette. I'm glad you had a great time.
