Liked: Loved everything about it. Beautiful well kept place to chill if you want with great entertainment on a Saturday night in the party bus, which is far enough away from the main pitches if you would rather have a quieter Saturday night. Great fishing lake and dog walk areas or a good base to go visiting other locations , ran by lovely helpful, friendly staff. Would definitely recommend

Liked: It was a lovely country break, close to so many beaches for days out and exploring villages and beach towns.
My 11 year old loved getting hands on and feeding the animals every morning, the fishing lake is beautiful and they caught so many fish each day.
Lisa and Andy are exceptional hosts, checking in each day and ensuring our stay was perfect in every way.
We enjoyed our camp fires, slower pass of life and getting away from technology for a few days! Would highly recommend Rhea Farm and fishery!
