A note from the site themselves...

We're in a beautiful setting with lots on site to explore, including a small wooded area, duck pond and lots of open space for children to get back to nature and close to some beautiful beaches or woodland walks.

We are focused on families, ensuring the kids are kept happy with plenty to do in The Barn, so that the adults can completely relax.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2024

Everything was spotlessly clean and the staff were lovely, and very helpful. We took advantage of both the pizza evening and morning breakfast - the pizza was a winner! We had a small baby with us so didn’t make use of the kids facilities but there was loads for them to do.

Site's response

Thank you so much for this wonderful review Leah! We take pleasure in reading about our customers experiences and are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your food and will make sure to pass on these lovely words to the rest of our team. We hope to see you again; maybe when your baby is old enough to join in with our activities, if not before!

Great for families, not so much solo

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2024

Lovely staff, beautiful location. Great for families with young children, not so much for solo/couples. Very noisy, some pitches very close together. Kept up most of the night and woken up very early by children. If you're going as a family or a group, it would be great - seem to mainly cater for children but also dog friendly.

Site's response

Thank you for your feedback, Karen. We are glad that you enjoyed the service provided by our staff as well as the location of our site! We apologise about the level of noise on site. Our quiet time is from 10:30pm which is explained to all campers when booking their stay, as well as when checking into the site. Our staff also do a walk-around at night to make sure noise levels are low, however we understand that some of our customers do disobey these rules. Although it is infrequent, we do sometimes receive resistance to this request, however, we will continue to explain these rules to customers, ensuring we provide the peaceful environment we know our customers enjoy. We are also sorry that you felt there was little for solo/couples, we are a family friendly site offering lots of activities and amenities for children and adults alike. However, we will take this into consideration.
