> My husband and 2 children ages 2 and 5 and I really enjoyed camping at Intake Farm. We stayed in wudu woods. We had a pretty big group next to us, but we were able to spread out so it still felt private. The kids really enjoyed getting to watch them feed the animals and say hi to the highland cows each day!

> ⭐️ 1 star — Very disappointing experience Intake Farm is in a lovely setting, with woods, grazing animals and good facilities. Sadly, our experience was extremely disappointing. Before leaving London, I called the owner, Maria, to say we expected to arrive at 8pm. She explained their usual cut-off was 7pm, but in this circumstance someone would be there to let us in. I still asked to see if this was ok and she assured me it was. We arrived at 8:15pm after heavy traffic, but no one was there. I called at 8:20pm and was told they had gone to dinner “since we said 8pm” and that we’d have to wait.…

> Great stay at Intake farm the animals and the staff were delightful- will certainly be paying them a return visit - the woodland camping area and off grid style were enchanting for the kids as promised :) 100% recommended :) my daughter tried to kidnap “secret” the goat - she was well and truly smitten
