Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Lovely location not it does state this is a quiet site however if that is what your looking for this is definitely not but did not bother us the men’s showers are also freezing yet again this did not bother us
Disliked: The farm dogs are left to roam which is fine there are 5 of them however they are not all working dogs. One of the smaller dogs ate our dogs food and ran off with it there was dog mess that we had to clean up prior to pitching our tent and the dogs are out all day which meant our dog had to stay in the tent for a lot of our time as he is a nervous dog

Liked: Very cute and affordable place to stay for a getaway. Great for animal lovers. The sheep will sleep right outside your cabin or tent and the dogs will love to play fetch with you.
Disliked: The showers and toilets could be kept a bit cleaner and there was someone else’s dog fur on our bed.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Nice and quiet campsite, amazing views to wake up to and loved the farm animals. Also a good 25 minute walk into the nearest village which was a lovely walk. Ideal for our 1 night stay it was lovely.
Disliked: Quite difficult to pitch the tent with the floor being so hard, not sure if it's because the floor was so dry from no rain recently but getting the pegs in was a nightmare. Also quite a bit of big rocks sticking out of the grass. Didn't actually see the owners the entire time we were there, 'check in' is confusing as no owner was present and wasn't sure if we needed to inform anyone

Liked: The owner Louise was very bubbly, greeted us when we arrived and spoke to use for around 10 minutes describing the area, the history and about the nearby villages.
The campsite itself was based on the farm, with horses, cows, and sheep in the fields around it was a great experience.

Rail camping pod
Liked: the railway cabins are great. really cknfortable and great value. brilliant views and really peaceful. perfect for people who camp in the summer but want a bit more shelter early in the year.
Disliked: the toilet/shower facilities etc. are basic. fine for me but not good for families with younger children. cabins could do with a power socket or usb port to charge devices. that would make a real difference for minimal outlay.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: We loved the views and how we could choose our own pitch, each pitch had a fire bucket as well which was great. It was a very peaceful place.
Disliked: Our only concern was the dogs running freely, the website says all dogs must be kept on a lead at all time. The farm dogs were running freely which is understandable but other guests didn’t adhere to the rules and also had their dogs running freely. Our dog is fairly reactive so this caused us a few issues. The water in the toilet block was also cold which wasn’t amazing when the weather is cold but it’s understandable and didn’t affect our stay, just something to be wary of when booking. We struggled pegging our tent down in the grass due to stones underneath however that could have been the pitch we chose.
