The site is open to caravans and motorhomes all year round, weather dependent. Tents are welcome from March 1st until the end of October.

A note from the site themselves...

I love my site because it's an extension of me and what I enjoy. I love wild and cold water swimming which is why we brought in the wood-fired floating sauna and run cold water swim and sauna events. I also love paddle boarding, wildlife and planting to benefit the environment.

We have planted over 2000 trees and hedge plants on site since 2013, it was a blank canvas and I get excited every year when they grow and flower.

Coming to work is always a delight for me, I have positioned bird feeders in front of the Reception in the hedge so I get to see the birds all day long and I get to meet all the lovely people who come to enjoy my space with me.
