Farrs Meadow

Kedvelték: Location was amazing. Such a wonderful view from the bottom shepherds hut paddock. David, the host, was very kind enough to let us pitch our quick getaway tent in this field due to no other occupants and we were only staying onsite for a total of 12 hours.

Despite arriving about an hour later than planned, David was enthusiastic about our stay, chatted about why we were not cold having driven with the roof down on the car, talked to us a little bit about the amenities of the site and gave us the best tour he could give, considering it was pretty dark at that point.

Total credit to the campsite.

Camp fire was no issue, absolutely massive fire bowl already provided.

We got woken up by cockerel’s and hens. This isn’t a complaint. They woke us up by surrounding the tent like an angry gang of clueless birds. We accidentally left a box of 5 chicken selects which one particularly hefty guy with dark brown, almost black bits, scoffed down in record time. I’m sorry David! This wasn’t an intentional attempt at the plucky rooster to engage in mild cannibalism I swear!

David invited us to return any time we like. We’re in the area very frequently so as time and weather allows, this may well become a regular place to bed down in peace and quiet for the night.

It has no WiFi, but, who cares. This is a site to switch off from it.

Nem kedvelték: That’s easy! The driveway from the main road (itself a pain in the… yep) is basically unstable surfaces meets steep bits meets random deep idents in the surface. It’s pretty winding too. Rear wheel drivers beware, you’ll want less torque more traction for this bad boy. Slow and steady will win that race. I can imagine it changes during rainfalls too. Just something to bear in mind.

Kedvelték: Quiet, Friendly, Proprietor very helpful. Good location for activities

Nem kedvelték: Facilities basic, no access for cars to site so reliant on site transport (which was timely and effective).

Kedvelték: A new favorite site. As 4 friends who go away every year on an annual catch up, we've seen a fair few spots. Vibe here is so friendly and very chill, camping spots are on the top of a hill surrounded by long grass and trees so feel pretty private although there are other people around (that said we went in July and had half the sire to ourselves, it was very quiet). David the owner is such a nice bloke, he greets with good chat and smiles, drove us up to hill in his 4X4 pointed us in all the directions, after that he was around but never intrusive unless we wanted to chat. Great walking nearby and some fun activities, about a 10 minute walk into town along a road if you want pubs etc. It's pretty basic, horse boxes with sawdust/long-drop loos and sanitizer and horsebox showers that heating wasn't best, but all part of it. Camp fores possible is always appreciated, nothing better than sitting around the fire with some treats and couple of beers. You are in nature as well, during the night you can hear owls and all sorts of creatures running around in the woods nearby. On the first night I stayed solo before pals arrived and was about 100 meters from nearest camper, I got up for the loo at around dawn and on the way to the toilet a deer ran out in front of me and we had a stare off, a great experience.

Nem kedvelték: I'm not even going to say this was a dislike as we were up for it and don't mind a bit of basic amenities. But, if you are looking for legit shower cubicles and flushing toilets etc then I'd skip out. I'd recommend just getting down and dirty though, the proper camping vibe.

Kedvelték: The host Daniel was top notch. Theres a little hill you will have to walk up with your things when you arrive on site, however dan just takes your stuff in his 4x4 and bombs it up the hill. Great showers also and the toilet really isn't that bad. We also forgot a hammer for the tent pegs and Dan helped us out.

Nem kedvelték: Nothing.
