What customers say
This quiet, rural spot has ripper panoramic views & a swimming lake. Folks loved the friendly owners, farm animals (you can feed 'em!), and clean compost loos & hot showers. The farm shop & cafe are ace. Some had trouble with wasps and finding the compost loos a bit rough. A few noted not enough hot water for washing up, and one mentioned noisy neighbours and grubby loos, but that was a one-off.

Beautiful location
Unpowered grass motorhome site
Liked Beautiful location with far reaching views. Quiet, abundence of nature, gorgeous lakes, warm showers, good facilities. Added advantage of beeing able to swim in lake, walk through the extensive woodlands and see all of the farm animals. There is a shop that sells basics and a simple cafe.
Disliked Hill a bit steep to access campsite so we did wheelspin a bit, however this didn't put us off just thought it's good to make people aware.
Shop and cafe where a bit low of stock we were hoping to buy steaks for bbq and have a lunch in cafe but unable on this visit.

Overall was very nice trip, very peaceful and relaxing, and very clean
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Loved the farm, loads of animals, friendly staff, this was our first camping trip, loved the fact that once you got up to the sight you could pitch up anywhere.
Compost toilets are very clean, and well maintained, clear instructions on what to do for those who have never been camping this helped, beautiful views very quiet and peaceful.
Shower blocks very clean and has hot water, fresh water available, and a washing up area as well
Plenty off bins for everything gas cans, chemical waste, general waste.
And loved the fact the dog could walk around the farm with us, and sit in the cafe with us as well.
This would also be great for anyone that has kids as there a park in the farm as well.
Disliked So a couple off dislikes for us
- the road to get up to the campsite is very steep and big rocks and stones going up and loads off pot holes, if your not a confident driver and dont like hill as well as trying to keep traction this drive up isn't for the faint hearted.
we had a SUV and fortunately I had my partner with me or I dont think I would have got the car up to the top.
- Swimming isn't permitted in the lake unless you have a pass, which needs to be purchased at the farm shop. Which was a shame because this was the main reason why we pick this location think this needs to be put in the rules and made clear.
- if you pitch up by the lake like we did be careful as we had wasp, and dragon flys ending up in our tent, would recommend taking a portable bug Zapper this helped a bit.
Make sure you have everything before you go apart from the farm shop there isn't any local shops or towns near by (including enough fuel, nearest petrol station is 10 miles approx away by car) you cant walk to it.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Beautiful site, lovely views, peaceful, felt really rural. Kids loved all the exploring - we didn’t leave the site for 3 days and everyone was very happy.
Enjoyed the walk down to the farm to see the animals & get an ice cream and supplies like logs.
Good mobile signal also.

Fantastic site, friendly owners, good facilities and great for kids.
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked So peaceful! Beautiful views and well thought out facilities. Stayed for three nights and no need to leave site. The kids loved the little lake pier, tyre swing, feeding the animals, and playing in the park and the cafe was great for an ice cream stop and to grab some milk.
It wasn’t busy which was great for us as plenty of space to run around and not disturb anyone. Would deffo return.
Disliked The drive up the hill was a bit terrifying. Tarmac or smooth concrete would be better!

Messy farm site and campsite was at the top of steep gravel hill
Unpowered grass motorhome site
Liked Nice surroundings
Disliked Gravel hill to get to the campsite - our motorhome wouldn’t make it up and would just slip on the loose gravel

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Loved the beautiful outlook, swimming lake, peaceful site. Hot showers were very welcome and the compost toilets were very well maintained. Loved the central fire pit so we could toast some marshmallows.

Such a lovely camping trip with our young daughters.
