A note from the site themselves...

Herding Hill Farm is much loved by its guests and employee-owners alike, and our team are very proud of both the campsite and the amazing local area. We work hard to promote and support local attractions and events. Nothing is too much trouble for us, Sue and Phil (Site Managers) and our fantastic team.

We seek to offer guests a personalised experience, from the moment of booking enquiry through to departure, be that organising bespoke optional extras for the booking or recommending local amenities and activities. All arrivals are greeted personally, and the team are on hand to deal with any queries arising.

There can be nothing better than stargazing from your private outdoor hot tub or around your roaring fire pit. We feel incredibly privileged to live and work somewhere so special.
