Find out more about our campsite facilities and its features, including some of our favourite local spots to visit!
The Campsite
The campsite is situated in our beautiful and undisturbed 20 acre meadow field. You’ll have sheep as neighbours in the paddocks above and a vast hay pasture below you - allowing you to take in the beautiful views!
There are 30 pitches on the campsite and we’ve made them all big enough for more than one tent or small campervan, so you can camp together with friends and family if you wish.
Pitches are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. As a small campsite we are more suited towards families and couples.
If DIY isn’t your style then why not stay in our beautiful bell tents or shepherd huts?
Facilities, fire pits and fun
The most memorable days usually end with the dirtiest clothes, so we’ve made sure our campsite offers the best of the basics – four flushing toilets, two compost toilets and three showers – and most importantly… plenty of hot water!
We have two separate undercover wash-up areas to clean the dishes, one complete with a freezer for ice packs!
After a fun filled day (and hot shower) nothing says ‘camping’ more than sitting by an open fire on a magical, moonlit evening and for that reason we provide fire pits for you to use on site.
We also chop plenty of wood on the farm to ensure there’s always a bag of logs ready for your marshmallows.
