Loads of space to explore within farm, Waterfall at the very bottom is amazing.

Fenced non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Staff were friendly and our toddler loved the farm vehicles backing and towing and one morning we even woke up to some goats on the field near us! Facilities were good and the communal kitchen area was a kind touch. We opted for the gated pitch which was ideal as our dog gets nervous and can be a bit barkyso she felt safe in the pitch. Lovely stay

Liked: Warm and friendly welcome when we called upon arrival - thanks Sean.
Love the goats!
Great amenities.
Definitely return.
Disliked: We booked a fenced in pitch, because we have a slightly reactive dog. The only two fenced pitches are next to each other - would be better if they were apart - as our neighbours also had a reactive dog, that they felt ok to just leave off lead wandering the campsite.....

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked: Beautiful surroundings and views. Friendly, helpful hosts. Good facilities and nice added touches - like fresh coffee and dog biscuits! Great location with 20 minute walk to the beach (uphill on the way back!) and quick to drive to other coastal day trips. Very family and dog friendly.
Disliked: The squelchy fields! Can’t be helped due to the weather but would have been tricky to park on hard standing if the site had been really busy as all pitches are grass. Take wellies.
