Liked: What beautiful tranquil situation the campsite has. The walks around are spectacular especially loved walking to the waterfall. Bring able to get up close to the farm animals was great too and we even saw a lamb being born.
Disliked: It’s a bit of a walk to the toilet from the camping pitch but that wouldn’t put me off going again. Supervision of children needed around the farm and water areas.

Liked: The place was beautiful, we went mid October when it was a bit more nippy so that fact there was a cottage for all to use with an open fire already lit really helped warm us up after putting up the awning. The views were spectacular with a special viewing point which was sign posted as well as other sign posts which lead you on beautiful trails and towards waterfalls. You had everything you needed here in regards to facilities, showers, toilets, microwave, toaster, kettle so on you just need to bring your own cups and plates. I loved that there was amimals on site, sheep, donkeys and cows as well as the very polite and friendly collie. When we arrived we seen our name on a board and knew where we had been assigned to park up, there were maps provided, information booklets and contact details. I called one of the owners to pay for our night and he was prompt to come down and was very friendly and helpful! Loved our stay and can’t wait to get back in the better weather
