Electric grass pitch (adults only)
Liked: We had such a great weekend staying at King's Oak. Perfect, quiet countryside pitch near to the cows. We visited the sister farm and the bar area is lovely, we even got up close to some orphan lambs, calves and more cows. The meat from their shop was delicious in the BBQ. Would definitely stay again. Thanks to Guy and Martin for being so helpful and giving us some giggles!

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch (adults only)
Liked: The views are lovely and the sound of the animals in the distance are soothing.
Disliked: The one small shower and toilet unit is inadequate when there are campers Motorhomes vans and tents on site. Too many people for one toilet.
We chose this site as it advertises being a rare breeds farm with a shop, bar hard standing for Motorhomes. It isn’t. Its sister site 4 miles up the road is. I was looking forward to seeing highland cows… but at £80 per person for a farm tour to pet the animals that is way out of budget. We asked to buy the bacon sausage and eggs they advertise but only the sausages were available. We ordered some and they never arrived. We drove to the next farm up the road and bought some. Disappointing site it advertises too much and delivers too little. If they sold it as a basic site it would be ok, except for the one toilet on site.

Electric grass pitch (adults only)
Liked: We stayed for our first time at Kings Oak this weekend (26-28 July) with our three young dogs. It was a gift from our sons so we had no choice in the selection of campsite. We had such a wonderful, quiet and relaxed stay… lovely view, watching the cows and hot air balloons.
The site manager Guy, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the local area, nothing was too much trouble. Lovely person. Large level pitch… perfect for setting up.
We will definitely go back for another visit.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: You sure it was Guy and not me after going on a recent public relations course!
Well done thanks for review, look forward to seeing you again.

Electric grass pitch (adults only)
Liked: Zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame camping beheerder (GUY)
GUY heeft ons ook een rondleiding gegeven over de boerderij .
Als er genoeg klandizie dan is er een kleine bar savonds open.
Een erge rustige camping waar wij van houden.
We hebben genoten van ons verblijf
Disliked: Dat douche ruimte en toilet een is.
Beter zou zijn een aparte douche en toilet .
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Liked: Very friendly and helpful campsite manager (GUY) GUY also gave us a tour of the farm. If there is enough clientele, there is a small bar open in the evening. A very quiet campsite that we love. We enjoyed our stay
Disliked: That shower room and toilet is one. Better would be a separate shower and toilet.
Thank you for your kind comments, we are in the process of building seperate showers and toilets. and we look forward to welcoming you again later this year, I do hope you enjoyed the historic aircraft from the annual airshow nearby and that you took many photos of the Dakotas as they flew over your head !! Kindest regards, Ruth, Norman (Owners ) Guy ( Campsite Manager )

Electric grass pitch (adults only)
Liked: The peace and quiet
Disliked: Facilities could have been better for the price.
We booked a grass pitch but weather had been bad so was just off the We farmyard.
I think the majority of things advertised happen at the sister campsite/farm
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Sorry to read your review
You will see from our overall rating a much better picture is painted about Kings Oak.
I would like to put it on record plans are underway to install new WC and shower facilities.
I think people forget this is a CL site.
Not a fully fledged touring caravan site.
Its basic nature is with the pease and quiet and the backdrop of my highland cows and rare breeds.
Not sure CLs are right for you!
It always amazes me that people have expensive motor homes and caravans with all the facilities on board and don’t use them. All kitted out for use on more isolated sites.
As far as value for money is concerned this has drastically changed with the increase we have had to suffer with increased electric and gas costs.
Always happy to negotiate with those that don’t want hook ups. Again a stay of one or two nights many vans are fitted with solar
Sort to be so harsh but I think I need to reiterate
WE ARE A CL SITE NOT A HOLIDAY PARK
Unfair review and if you weren’t happy why did you not tell us face to face.
Maybe I would have given you your money back and asked you to leave.

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch (adults only)
Liked: The lack of kids running around screaming and the farmyard. They were very accommodating in the aftermath of rain and a boggy field, managed to fit us all in the farmyard.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: It is normally me that is running round screaming, that's what the staff are always telling me!
Thanks for your comments and look forward to your return.
If you liked it here in a very wet March, wait till you visit vin the summer on our superb grass pitches with the backdrop of our highland cows, rare breed Irish Moiled cows and a variety of rare breed sheep, sipping a cool gin and tonic watching some of the amazing summer sunsets.
