We tent/car camped and it was an absolutely beautiful paddock stay. The hosts have it very well organised so everyone has their own plot, divided by hay bales lending to some privacy and distance between guests. We enjoyed our stay by the Highland Coo Paddock.

I loved the country farm vibe to staying here - surrounded by hay bails, cows and fields was beautiful. Extra bonus to see a highland cow so close!! The camp was easy to find, and super spacious sites, had more room than we knew what to do with! Good to have little fire pits ready and access to fire wood. We loved the communal aspect with a central area for all the kids to play, but then also the ability to have privacy. Would stay again and bring friends!
