Great spot for camping that is close enough to town but far enough away to feel like you away from it all. Nice big sites and easy access for all size vehicles and caravans/ campers etc. Farm animals are friendly with feeding available on some afternoons.

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.
