Large Tent - Ensuite Grass Tent Pitches (Tree Field)Jul 2024

What a beautiful holiday we had! This campsite is so well set up with really thoughtfully and considerately laid out spacious pitches. There was loads of privacy and our children loved the space to play. We loved the outdoor eating area and the wash block on our pitch. It felt like a very luxurious camping experience, well worth the extra cost. All the little extra touches, like washing up liquid and dog poo bags, made us feel very welcome. There was a fantastic little farm shop which was so well equipped. There was so much to see and do in the local area. We will definitely be returning and have already been recommending it to all our friends and family.

Wonderful campsite

Large Tent - Ensuite Grass Pitches (Tree Field)Jul 2024

The individual pitches are really big! Plenty of space for a large family and far enough away from other pitches to be peaceful and quiet. The separation between the pitches is lovely as it's natural wildlife. The site also felt safe and secure for the children which is a benefit. We didn't use all of the facilities so can't give a full review. We found having our own toilet, shower, washing up area, fire pit and covered seating area were a great addition to the site. The whole farm is not overly manicured and is very natural which we loved. Having spoken to one of the family who runs the sites we learnt that their ethos is about preserving natural wildlife and regenerative farming - understanding that they are the current custodians of this piece of land and the importance of leaving land in a better state than it was when you took it over - leaving this for future generations. We really liked this and want to support this. We would love to visit again. Some pitches are not suitable for tents. We were booked onto one of these pitches which was on a hillside. The pitch is geared towards campers and not tents. This was addressed immediately and professionally by Amelia and Martin. We were given a choice of alternative plots which were available. I would've worried if the site had been fully booked. Location is brilliant for the local theme park, Tenby and visiting the lovely Pembrokeshire coast. Super practical for travelling. Overall, for camping I would say it's a little pricy but when you see what they are trying to achieve, you can see why. We will visit again.
