About the site
Fancy a stay in a luxury converted double decker bus, a vintage horse box or a relax in a hot tub delivered by tractor directly to your tent? A firm non-believer of regimented marked pitches, this site offers spacious grass pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes in an open field with the option of electric hook up. Once you're settled, feel free to book a wood fired hot tub to your pitch and enjoy the scenery in style. If you're more glamper than camper, you can book one of the quirky glamping units. The 'Pod Pod', a traditional wooden glamping pod, can sleep a maximum of three adults and two children and is fitted with a wood burner for chilly nights. The cosy Tiny House, built locally, sleeps up to four. If a private garden and hot tub is a must, you might prefer the vintage horse box that sleeps four or the luxury converted school bus named Dennis that sleeps six. Both are fitted with kitchenettes and the horse box has its own bathroom. Bedding is only provided for the bus, so please remember to bring your own if necessary. Fire pits are available for hire at reception. Dogs are welcome on pitches and a maximum of one dog is welcome in the pod, tiny house and horse box. No dogs are allowed in the double decker bus, sorry.
