What customers say
Moss Side Farm: peaceful adults-only campsite on a working farm. Highly rated for stunning views, tranquil vibes, and friendly hosts. Spacious pitches, great walking access, and charming farm animals are a hit. Basic but clean facilities. Mostly positive, despite some rocky ground and occasional noise.

Rail camping pod
Liked The location was beautiful, the owner was very helpful too.
Disliked There was literally nothing in the carriage. I know the description said to bring all camping equipment but it was so basic. Just the beds and a fire. No fridge and no electric sockets.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: The description of the cabins states what is in the cabins and what you need to bring. These cabins sleep 4 people, £14.75 per person per night, cheap no frills cabins. No where does it state electric sockets, fridges etc.
I think your review is very unfair when it was simply a case of you not reading and planning accordingly.
My Cabins are £59.00 per night, more fancy cabins are usually £120.00 per night. We offer a communal freezer for freezer blocks and a communal area for charging phones etc.
I’m sorry you were disappointed but I’m sorry too that you put the blame on me 😑

Rail camping pod
Liked As a novice camper loved the idea of the railway sheds with heat/light/real beds. Louise was a fabulous host and welcomed us warmly, told us all about the farm and area. Availability of fire wood, helped ourselves to apples, plums, pears! Really relaxed feel to the place - absolutely loved and will return. Felt very rustic and homely.
Disliked Nothing to dislike - views sensational and as someone who has had a bad experience of camping it really changed my view!

Liked Beautiful spot with good facilities. Host is lovely. There are nearby walks for a morning/evening stroll & firewood & fire starters available for making an evening fire to keep warm.
Disliked The road to the camp is bumpy! Go slow! :)

From the manager: Thank you 🤗
Fantastic campsite in an idyllic location, we plan to stay again!
Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Lovely campsite run by a friendly family. The site has showers, toilets and a hot water sink area for washing up. There are also various farm animals wandering around, so you will get the full rural farm experience! We were staying as a pair of couples, and Louise (the owner) made us feel very welcome. Firepits and logs/kindling/firestarters are also sold, which was great as we forgot ours at home! We plan to stay again as the views, facilities and staff were all fantastic. There was even good phone signal!
Disliked The only thing I could really criticize is the water pressure; as all of the showers are connected to a single water line, the pressure drops quite sharply when several people are in there. The showers also have those water-saving timer buttons that last around 20 seconds, if you let it go off you may struggle to get your water pressure back if its busy. We just started getting up earlier to miss the morning rush.

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked We had a really lovely time at Moss Side, absolutely loved the site. Louise was super friendly and helpful, amenities on site were fantastic, hot showers, always tidy and clean. We were able to buy firewood and use a fire pit which was great for campfire s’mores! The view was beautiful and the whole place was great for a peaceful getaway. We loved the farm animals wandering around, friendly dogs, along with goats, chickens, ducks and a cockerel! There’s a great walk to the village straight from the site which we enjoyed. No faults, would love to come again.

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon.
