Non-electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Great spot on an equestrian centre so surrounded by horses, chickens and no light pollution. Nice loo to use and a clean grassy pitch. One suggestion would be to bring ear plugs due to the cockerels! Lovely host Joan who was really helpful and added bonus with the pub being a 1 minute walk away! It’s open Thurs to Sunday and has great music and staff.

Liked: Lovely spot with horses in the next field. Good walks for the dog near by and a Pub. The owners are very friendly and personable. We will be returning to stay for more than one night. Very quiet and relaxing place indeed. Only facility is a toilet but we were fine with that.

Liked: Lovely and relaxed farm. If you like to be woken up by the rooster next to the field with horses -thats a place for you. We received mail with directions to the farm. Lady was so nice! She showed us all amenties- washing up place and toilet- all very clean. Our girls loves horses and she spent some time with them, allowing them to brush horses, take them to the field., showed baby chickens. Girls said it's the best campsite! Thank you for lovely experience!

Liked: This site was an absolute dream. We spent our days watching the horses in the field opposite and our evenings, watching the bats swoop, then star gazing around the fire pit after a bbq. It was utter bliss. Once we arrived and got setup we didnt want to leave. Top tip: Take binoculars as the site is surrounded by nature. Joan is an incredible host, friendly, approachable and the care taken of the site is to a high standard. Everyone in the yard was incredibly friendly too and a pleasure to chat too on our way backwards and forwards to the facilities. We stayed for 3 nights and felt like we had been on holiday for a week. Our pooches absolutely loved it too and have come home incredibly tired which is a huge plus! This site took me back to my camping days as a child when camping was a real escape into nature and peace rather than the modern day version of camping with 200 other people. A real wild camping feel, we loved it!
Disliked: We cannot fault this place at all
