Ik was blij met: Good location. Perfect for dogs

Van de manager: Pleased your pooches enjoyed it 😃

Ik was blij met: The Animals, the views beautiful quiet base for exploring the local area easy check in. I love simple pleasures so this working farm was perfect for us.

Ik was niet zo blij met: The grass was really long and nearly burnt out my clutch reversing van onto pitch. Not an issue for the experienced caravanner but I'll need to stick with hard ground pitches for now

Van de manager: I am so sorry about the grass; it is hard to plan that first cut and decide when is best to do it! It has now been done and will be regularly cut as sitting on the lawnmower is the only time I get peace from the kids 🤣. The hubby is always about on his tractor, he would have happily helped you! Happy caravanning, and thank you for your lovely review.

Ik was blij met: Great spot, nice views and space, clean showers, toilets. Plenty to see around there, great walks.

Van de manager: Really pleased you enjoyed it and we love the photos ❤️

Ik was blij met: The site is not in great but the people are friendly.

Ik was niet zo blij met: At the time of our stay one toilet block was closed which meant there was a large que for the pod block. Showers were cold and water pressure very poor..

Van de manager: We are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. We have had issues with refurbishing our toilet blocks, but have reduced occupancy by 50% to accommodate this. We weren't aware of issues with the showers. They are checked twice daily when cleaning but we will investigate why the temperature and pressure is dropping 😃

Ik was blij met: We stayed here April 2025 in the enclosed pitch with a wood fired hottub. We had an amazing time! The enclosed pitch was a game charger with the dogs able to run around freely and safely 🐶. The setting was beautiful and peaceful with the stunning countryside all around. It was lovely in the morning to have our breakfast outside with the view of the cows, even though it is a working farm it was so peaceful 🐖🐑🐄🚜. One of the highlights was the wood fired hottub, it was a treat to sit and unwind under the stars in the evenings.
The pitch itself had everything we needed. It was clean, well kept and had a lovely rustic feel.
All in all, it was a great experience. The 3 hours journey was definitely worth it! Us and the dogs loved our weekend here and will definitely be back 🫶🏼

Van de manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review 😃

We have a lot of dogs, so we designed this pitch with them in mind 🤣

We do have amazing skies, I had never really appreciated this until we had campers here, and they started to share their photos.

We hope to see you again soon.

Ik was blij met: Beautiful views, amazing wood fired hot tub and very helpful owners who helped me get the hot tub going. Facilities were clean and near to the pitch. Very dog friendly with huge enclosed grassed area next to pitch.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Nothing

Van de manager: So pleased you enjoyed your stay, we are always happy to help 😃

Ik was blij met: Nothing, the campsite was a disgrace

Ik was niet zo blij met: Everything.
The campsite was disgusting
Shower not working cold
Toilets absolutely filthy with urine on the floor and toilet seats lying on the floor with shit on it.
The sink to wash dishes was filthy with food waste.
The chemical waste had not been cleaned and was absolutely stinking the whole “campsite”
Glad I was only there to put my head down for a few hours, absolutely filthy and disgusting

Van de manager: We are in the process of renovating the main site toilet blocks.

As we aren't particularly busy at the moment. We asked campers to use the toilets near the pods. I totally appreciate that the standard of the toilets isn't acceptable as they weren't in use. I'm wondering if the sign bles off the door during your short stay.

The wash up area is cleaned every day. I'm sorry if another camper left food waste in the sink. We are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay.

Ik was blij met: Beautiful location. I stayed in a glamping pod, with my dog. So peaceful and relaxing. Just what I needed. View from our pod was amazing looking out over fields and mountains in distance. Lovely sun sets and sun rises. Each pod was fenced with a big plot of land. Perfect fory dog and I to play
Had campfire every night. Definitely going back for longer next time.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Nothing I disliked

Van de manager: Thanks so much for your lovely review, it will be great to see you again :)

Ik was blij met: A reasonably nice setting.

Ik was niet zo blij met: I’ll begin by saying this is the first review I’ve ever left for anything, but I felt compelled to do so.
I booked to stay for 4 nights but left after 1, I refuse to stay anywhere that can’t keep their facilities clean.
I’m more than happy to stay at a basic site and like to see farmers diversifying but general cleanliness is the very least any site should provide. There was a cleaning rota on the wall that hadn’t been updated since the beginning of September which tells you all you need to know.
Before I get a response of “Why didn’t you tell us before you left?”, I didn’t see any point. If you cared about the quality of the experience you provided to guests, you’d clean your toilets.
Not bothered if I get a refund or not, I’m more irritated by wasting my time with a 250 mile round trip and would like to help others not make the same mistake. Maybe it’s better maintained in peak season, who knows.

Van de manager: Thanks for your review. Your reference to the cleaning rotas leads me to believe that you used the wrong toilets. During the winter months, we shut the main facilities and ask campers to use the pod facilities, which are a 50-meter walk away. You would have been advised of this in your welcome letter. Some campers continue to use the facilities on the main site and we have had an issue with the doors being forced open causing damage. We therefore decided to simply place a sign on the door saying not in use. So this may have been lost in the bad weather we have had.
I am sorry that you had a wasted journey and cut your break short. We could have resolved all this or even if you no longer wanted to stay we could have pointed you in the right direction to other sites or even wild camping spots.

Ik was blij met: Stunning location situated on a working farm
