Liked: Friendly hosts and relaxed atmosphere in the field with the park anywhere vibe. Alpacas roaming around, as well as other animals too. Tasty eggs for sale
Disliked: Very close to the airport. Planes are only occasional and good to look up at, bit they make quite a noise! Latrine facilities are super basic!

Liked: We spent two nights here and had such a lovely time. The camp site is very basic (no shower or toilet) but this didn’t stop us having a great time. You are constantly surrounded by farm animals (alpacas, llamas, sheep, emu’s etc.) and the owners of the farm are happy for you to give them some strokes. There is a pub about 10 minutes down the road which serves food and also a Tesco express. Bournemouth is not too far from here (30 minute bike ride) but is mainly routed on busy roads. Finally, I have to pay special attention to the gorgeous 17th month old Mastiff puppy Casper who just wanted as many cuddles as he could possibly get! Such a lovely farm and such friendly animals.
Disliked: Very very minor but it would have been nice to have had a commercial bin to put our rubbish in. Did not stop us from thoroughly enjoying our stay!
