I booked this as a short honeymoon break for my son and his new bride. Alan the owner went above and beyond to make the place look stunning for them and even left them a congrats card with wine and beautiful flowers. The views around are beautiful and if you love peace and quiet then this is definitely the place for you. They have loved every minute of their stay here and would definitely recommend it.
Lovely stay!

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesApr 2023
We are just starting off on the old camping game, and we struck a winner on our first site.
First off, we loved that the campsite is relatively small, population wise. Whilst we were there, there was only another 5 tents pitched up max. This suited us as we were really looking for somewhere quiet.
The facilities were good and clean, and because there wasn’t that many other campers there was no waiting for toilets or shower. There was a toilet and shower block, nice warm water which was welcomed as the weather was a little dull to say the least, and also a caravan to use and has electricity also, as well as a portaloo, so no chance of getting caught short.
The host, Alan, is honestly a great guy. He makes you feel welcome right off the bat, and does so much to make your stay comfortable. We had a small camping stove to cook on however the weather was turning, and we must’ve generally just looked a bit clueless, Alan hooked some gas up to the stove in the caravan and said we could use that if needed. Thankfully we managed our steaks on our little stove but it was a nice touch, genuinely kind.
We enjoyed our stay at Cherry Trees Farm, and will definitely be going there again. For some it may be a little far away from shops etc, but for us we loved it, gorgeous views and a bit of peace and quiet. Can’t beat it! Thank you very much Alan!
