Liked: The site is well designed and well maintained. The pitches are divided by fences and are level. It's a working farm. There were new lambs, calves, a donkey, a Shetland pony and alpacas. Christine offers home cooked food. We had her pizzas one evening. Very nice!

Liked: This site is in a lovely quaint village, with stunning scenery surrounding it. What a pleasure it was to start our motorhome adventure here. It's a short walk through the farm to the local pub, which is dog friendly. The facilities on site were good. A nice hot shower, a sink, toilet and a mirror and well stocked with soap and toilet roll etc. We loved that it was a working farm and we got to see the lambs and calves in the shed. The check in process was easy enough and we got an arrival pack which was handy. They offer food on site, which is good to know for the future.
Disliked: No grey water facility.
