If we had to break down early on in our holiday and be towed anywhere then this was the place to have that happen. The owners were lovely and kind and relaxed about us showing up late on the back of a lorry followed by a whole day of hanging around waiting for our vehicle rescue to rescue us. Lovely quiet pitches (apart from the brief unloading of our van) and lots of facilities including animals to look at while waiting for relay. Very cool about our wee dog too and lovely walks round about for her. Thank you

First time trying camping with a 3 year old and it was fantastic. The owners were so welcoming and friendly. Very cool with all the animals and so much for everyone to enjoy in the park. We were gutted to find out there was going to be some live music on the day we were leaving too. Will definitely be back, superb.

Lovely site. Nice walks. Lots of onsite animals, including pigmy goats, donkey snd alpacas. Great play park with zip line, trampoline. Fire pits on site to use. EHU pitches available. Small shop and snack bar, which does breakfast rolls on a morning to buy for around £4. Site a bit uneven. Need level blocks. Lights/ torches required at night. Excellent for star gazing. Plenty of showers and toilets. Washup area available. Brilliant recycling area to entrance. Lovely welcoming staff.

Amazing campsite with relaxed owners. It feels like stepping back in time to a place where everything goes and people just behave and interact with each other. This is all facilitated by the laid back style of managing of the owners. It was a pleasure to visit.

A great site to stay at if you’re looking for real and raw camping. This site has beautiful scenery all around and good facilities. It was wonderful being able to see and pet all the animals that live there and the owners were very helpful and kind. Would definitely recommend to other campers and would definitely stay here again!
