Liked: We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect if you’re looking for somewhere out the way, it had all the basic necessities to make camping easier such as toilets, showers and even a washing up area. The camp site wasn’t over booked which again we enjoyed as everyone had their own space if that’s what you’re looking for. We will definitely be coming back as it’s so affordable too and seeing all the farm animals free roaming or just pottering around made it more enjoyable for us! The owners were really lovely and went out their way to to tell us about walks etc etc. They even have a little chalk board!
Disliked: This isn’t a dislike at all! But make sure to bring strong tent pegs as the field is a little rocky but didn’t cause us any issues at all!!

Liked: Space was great, owner was lovely and everyone around the site really friendly.
Disliked: Was on a farm so animals as expected, didn't cause any big issues but did have sheep near the tents before they moved on, again, animals were all friendly just depends whether you want that experience or not.

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: Lovely views and location close to village with a lovely walk from back of camp and along the old railway line into Broughton.Here was a couple of pubs and shops
Disliked: Farm dogs roaming around all day. Make sure you secure tents and awnings as we discovered when we came back from a day out the dogs had got in our awning.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Very sorry to hear that our farm sheep dog had found its way into your awning. Its has become apparent recently that because she has a litter of pups she has been looking for extra food!! Although we have been feeding her extra portions to feed her up we hadn't realised that she had taken to sniffing her way round campers rubbish bags etc. Huge apologies. She is now under a strict watch and even more food. Louise
Basic, working farm in an excellent location with friendly owners.

Rail camping pod
Liked: Location, location, location. Loved it was a working farm, loved the animals visiting. The rail pod was comfortable, if basic. We lit the stove which made it very cosy. Plenty of hot water in showers, could do with more towel hooks though. The rail pod would benefit from a shelf or cupboard to put food. Also the rail pod would be nice with stable/half opening doors, would mean we could sit in cabin with half door open so dogs couldn’t get out.
Disliked: Nothing negative just suggestions, toilets need an upgrade. Be nice to buy eggs at farm. This is our second visit, won’t be our last.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Glad you enjoyed your stay, nice to see you both again. Louise

Rail camping pod
Liked: The owner came and welcomed us, she was very nice. The views are amazing and the place is quiet and peaceful
Disliked: The railway pods have no electric outlets, I know it's described as camping without the tent, but I'd assume if there are lights there would be at least one socket. The mattress protector which was placed on the bed (bottom bunk) was covered in black dog hairs. Also the showers were freezing, no or very little warm water came out
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Really sorry to hear that the mattress protector had dog hairs on it, I can only assume that one of my little dogs had sneaked in for a cheeky nap whilst the doors were left open, airing the cabin before you arrived. If you had brought this to my attention I would have been absolutely mortified, apologetic and change it right away. Regarding the cold water, we were having issues with our second hot water tank which, unfortunately went on the blink at the start of the Bank Holiday weekend. Usually we manage adequately with one tank but for busy times we switch on the second......it didnt heat up. Fixed now! I dont understand why you didnt bring these issues to my attention while you were here but waited to you were home and gave me a bad review? You say that "The owner came and welcomed us, she was very nice" So why not be "very nice" too? You could have talked to me about the issues, giving me a chance to rectify the problem. That would have been very nice. Louise

Liked: Lovely views, warm and welcoming site owner. Love the fact on a farm and the animals are roaming around freely. Facilities in process of being upgraded but ideal for what’s needed. Fairly priced for one night stay in the rail cabins.

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: Great location, lovely views. Good walks straight from campsite.
Disliked: Quite a few noises to wake you up through the night. Sheep next to your tent munching grass or baaa ing really loudly. Too many dogs barking at times which was annoying.

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed the location, views etc.
