    Tent camped with kids, Jun 2026.

    Recommends

    We had a lovely stay at this campsite. The surrounding area was beautiful, and the little farm was a real highlight—the kids absolutely loved it. Mark was incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The facilities are shared with the pub, so they're available while the pub is open. Aside from that, everything was wonderful, and we really enjoyed our stay.
