Liked: Farm and play area are lovely. The play area could do with a jet wash and paint but all still works fine. Food in cafe was nice and the animals are adorable.
Disliked: Booked to go camping for 2 nights but actually only managed 1 night. There was a large group at the bottom end blasting music from their car until late, kids running about unsupervised screaming and banging on my tent, flashing their torches on my tent till gone midnight. I understand this isn’t the fault of the campsite, but if you’re looking for a relaxing camping trip I wouldn’t recommend. The camping area is ok, toilets at the bottom end were absolutely disgusting.

Liked: Great flat field to pitch in, beautiful location and really cool to be surrounded by animals such as alpacas. Also really handy to be right next to a cafe and a shop with Rothwell town centre not far away.
Disliked: Only portaloos outside of 10am-5pm. Outside showers. Nicer 24hr facilities needed.
