Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchAug 2024

A truly lovely place to stay! We had our own very large and secluded pitch with a private shower room/toilet. The facilities were a little wander down the farm lane but that was fine, in fact, we enjoyed riding our bikes back and forth! Jackie and Anthony were very helpful and made us feel very at home. There were chickens, a peacock, sheep and lovely Bella the dog living on the farm. The washing up room was great with everything we needed, we had fridge/freezer space and a large table to sit at if required. Our children loved doing the puzzles which were provided. There was also a games room for them. We drank lots of farm apple juice and ate homemade jam. The grounds of the farm are charming and we were quite taken by the idea of having so much space to enjoy. We did a 2 mile trail (provided by our hosts) and enjoyed seeing where we were staying. Just a wonderful place and we will return!

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Tent or Campervan PitchMay 2024

A lovely peaceful couple of days, only three camping pitches and each with their own private bathroom at the farm which was a bonus. A really spacious and private pitch from which we could watch an owl fly back and forth feeding the owlets in the tree next to our field. Pedro the peacock made regular visits to check we were OK. Chickens roosting high up in the nearby trees was a first for us. Nice friendly owners showed us around the facilities and happily advised on local walks.

Site's response

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Tent or Campervan PitchSep 2023

Fantastic pitch, ideally located to see Exmoor and the Devon coast but feel worlds away on your secluded pitch. Only 3 pitches make this an exclusive site. The en-suite facilities are a 3 minute walk and there's a magical walk around the farm. We had our campervan and dog.
