An ideal retreat for keen foodies and those looking to unwind. Located on the edge of the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the site is surrounded by glorious countryside views. Onsite you will be treated to a bar, a farm shop with a deli counter and a cafe serving up a delicious breakfast and lunch menu. All of the 58 grass pitches are non electric, allowing up to six guests. The Old Apiary Field is located nearest the facilities, home to 9m x 10m pitches for tents only. The Fallow Field is nearest the entrance and offers 15m x 15m level tent pitches. For caravans, campervans and motorhomes there are ten pitches located along Lawsons Lane. A grid surface is provided above the grass, with young hedging in between each of the 8m x 10m pitches. If glamping is more your style, enjoy a stay in one of the four Anne's Acre bell tents. Each of the 5m tents comes fully furnished, sleeping up to five with a double bed and optional air beds, there is an option to add linen, duvets and pillows when you book. Bedside tables, blankets, chest, rugs and an outdoor bench are also provided. For an extra cosy stay, there are five luxury glamping pods. Each pod can accommodate up to five with a double bed, chairs, rugs and bedside tables, along with solar-powered lighting and phone charging. Outside is a picnic bench and fire pit for toasting marshmallows. Single air beds, bed linen and bedding are not included but can be purchased for an additional fee. Up to three dogs are welcome to join you on each of the pitches and in the glamping units too. You can also bring along your own BBQ or fire pit, but please ensure it is raised from the ground. The onsite farm shop is the perfect place to pick up your ingredients!

The tent was clean and bright with a comfy bed. Showers/toilets were spotless and regularly cleaned. We enjoyed tea/cake in the farm shop before a day trip to Waddesdon. Overall, a lovely, peaceful site with friendly staff.

This is a relatively new site which on-line offers a lot - level camping fields, pods, yurts as well as the five grass CL pitches. In addition, there is a farm shop, pigs, sheep and café. It is close to the Chilterns and in a good area for cycling. The café is open to outside visitors and is very popular - this facility I would rate 4*. The farm shop was not what most people would expect - really disappointing, just a few displays with a very limited range of goods - I would rate 1*. The toilet facilities were rather inadequate for the size of the site - only 2 cubicles in each of the men's (plus 2 urinals) and women's although there was a separate spacious family / disabled wash room. The showers had very low level trays with curtains that most users found unable to contain the spray, resulting in constantly wet floors. These facilities were not clean when we arrived, although did improve greatly during the week after I had a conversation with the owner's daughter. The facilities for caravan/campervan toilet waste was interesting - a modified agricultural hopper with piped water around the rim, as well as the usual tap and hose. This would have worked well except while I was emptying, there was the alarming experience of waste liquid gushing up out of the inspection cover and running across the concrete floor. I reported this to the owner who said he would pump out the tank, which he did promptly. A work in progress is an accurate description of the site. There were contractors building close to the facilities and laying drains across the car park which was, fortunately, fully reinstated just in time for the many Friday Bank Holiday weekend arrivals which filled the car park. The campers, with many children, had a great time, the large fields providing spacious pitches and good activity spaces. So, for campers, an interesting family site; as a CL, particularly if you are expecting a quiet time, less successful. At £28 a night without electric hook up (under construction) the site is expensive and needs further improvement.
Lovely campsite
