Weekend Trip to High Ashes Haven

Had a wonderful time at high ashes. Facilities were super- lovely hot shower, with shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided. Kitchen area was perfect for preparing meals, and there was a fire pit- great for toasting marshmallows. Phil was a brilliant host, super accommodating and gave great info about stuff to do in the local area. Also loved the duck pond! Overall fantastic stay 😊

I love this campsite. It's been quiet the few times I've been. A little gem that's affordable clean toilets and showers. Owners are really lovely and polite and sell bloody good firewood!

1 night at Cross Farm Retreat

We had a wonderful stay in the bell tent. The bed was comfy and the tent is very warm and inviting. Kirsty is very kind and considerate and we had everything we needed to give my daughter her first introduction to camping.
