Liked: peaceful, spacious, quiet, clean, easy to get to. Lots of amenities, great location

Disliked: showers required 50p, dispite the fair priced cost of staying one night

Liked: We loved how close the campsite was to the beach. The scenery is beautiful and you can start a walk/run right out of your tent. We received such a warm welcome from the owners who even let us borrow an OS map! We had a very relaxing 5 days here, especially due to the lack of signal and wifi - a forced digital detox! Would definitely recommend this campsite to friends.

Disliked: It was great. My only tiny complaint would be the number of bugs/spiders in the bathroom!

Liked: This was our first holiday to the Isle of Wight and just Wow! The site was easy to find, the owner met us on arrival and gave us all the information we needed about facilities for our stay. Simple camping field with pitches lined up along the hedgerow with stunning views across the hills. Toilet and shower facilities were good and cleanliness maintained whilst we were here. Showers are 50p but I found that lasted a good amount of time and temperature was perfect every time! Small play area for the kids but they absolutely loved it and spent a lot of time there. The 9am tractor ride to feed the farm animals was a lovely surprise, the kids really enjoyed doing this every day and we appreciated the 30mins of peace it provided.

The campsite is in a truly beautiful location, short walk to the beach or if you need a dog friendly beach it's about 20 mins walk along the coastal path. Overall this provided the perfect base for us to explore the island and we cannot wait to return. We camp a lot and this was the first time my husband and I said we weren't ready to leave!

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Lovely farm, loads of large flat pitches which are well spaced out, really friendly people, clean facilities, little play area and lots of space for kids to run about. Great for all types of campers/families young and old.
Kids enjoyed a tractor ride round the field to see the animals in the morning.
Great location close to ferry (Yarmouth) and loads of beaches/attractions a short drive away

Liked: Loved it here, absolutely stunning location, walking distance from sea side, short drive from few of the best beaches on the island. Sup paradise. Great views from campsite. Wc and showers available, freezer for ice packs too. The best part though - Anna, the host. Made us feel most welcomed and took great care of us, Thank you, we'll see you next year!

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review!

Liked: I mean the location is stunning within walking distance of the beach (albeit you have to navigate some pretty steep steps). I also liked the space and the layout of the pitches, and the self-choice of where you want to locate. If you pitch at the farthest end it means you'll have a fair walk to the toilets and wash facilities. (some savvy campers brought bikes)
We also loved the farm Chickens and 2 Turkeys wandering around the farm court yard. Just a shame there was no opportunity to buy fresh eggs.

Disliked: What was disappointing was the surprise announcement that the campsite was having a private party in the adjacent field. When booking, this was not made clear albeit clearly planned. The music was loud until 12pm, and given there were families with young children it wasn't fair or right to have concealed this material fact from their booking site. I'm sure most would have made alternative arrangements given the choice. I will be asking for a refund for that night.
The facilities are basic but functional. You do have to have Houdini skills to enter and leave the toilet cubicles as it quite tight. Also, the toilet window is adjacent to the washing up facilities so it can be a little entertaining and close for comfort (possibly unpleasant) for both parties.
This is outside the owners control but there was a general odour of urine at the site. This may well be the downside of the distance to the toilet block and folk choosing to relief themselves 'au natural' against the hedgerow. We didn't, as we brought our own facility.
