This was such an amazing camp site. You have your own space, the facilities are clean and the owners were lovely and welcoming.

Brilliant campsite!

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesJun 2025

Excellent stay! I arrived after the staff had finished and the instructions over the phone were good. The plot given to me and my son was brilliant, it had a table and umbrella for us to use and the space in the area was just right. Shower and toilet facilities are ideal, and more than what you need for a stay here! The added bonus was been able to wonder down and see the alpaca's down in their area! My son loves this. The next morning we went for a walk and discovered there is a nice walk around the camp site.. with a secret library and some sculptures in the woods! Along with a swing which we had a go on! I will be returning it's a great campsite well done.

Charming summer campsite

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesJun 2025

A charming campsite in a beautiful, peaceful location. Sophie and Simon have clearly spend a lot of time and effort into making this place a perfect summer campsite. I'd highly recommend booking on their alpaca walk too! Will definitely be staying again!

We wish we booked more nights

Shepherd's Hut - The Heartwood Shepherd's Hut (Adults Only)Mar 2025

We stayed here for 1 night, it was amazing. Sophie and Simon have thought of everything from toothbrush and toothpaste, logs for the fire and hot tub, dressing gown and slippers and a few extra treats 😊 It was peaceful and easy to find, the log burner hot tub did take a while to heat up but this was expected. We only wished we had booked it for more than 1 night. It's warm, cosy and was so peaceful. In the morning, we took a walk to see the alpacas and got to meet Simon and his son, who were so lovely. I would recommend this beautiful break away to anyone who wants to switch off and relax 😌 I have recommended it to family and friends and we're already talking about booking it again in the summer months 🥰
