A note from the site themselves...

We moved here 18 years ago and have had to renovate everything as it was an old farmhouse on 5 acres with a derelict barn which we have had to renovate, build driveways, plant hedging and trees to create the beautiful, peaceful place it has now become. The only noise you hear is birdsong and animals.

In 2024 we created an onsite food truck serving homemade, locally sourced ingredients and freshly prepared to order.

Fantastic site in an excellent location. Really quiet and picturesque. Good base for walking and cycling and beach visits. The food truck on site was a brilliant bonus. Homemade food with really tasty veggie options.

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2025

We have just returned from a fabulous 3 night stay with our two boys (aged 7 & 12). The owners were very welcoming and explained all about the campsite and the local area once we arrived. The plot had amazing views across the fields, there was plenty of room and it had a lovely area for the boys to play with the other children. The facilities were the best we've ever seen at a campsite, showers/toilets were new and clean. The washing up area even had a freezer to refreeze your ice blocks. They opened their onsite food & drink hut over the weekend, we ate there Thurs and Friday - the food was beautiful. The menu catered for all of us, vegetation & vegan. A great kids menu with great value options. Plus service with a smile 😊 All in all a fab stay, we can't wait to rebook a visit again and tell our friends about it this time 😊
