Lovely small site ran by Colin and Tracy who are so welcoming and friendly. Great site for the kids who loved being around the animals and were able to feed the alpacas, lambs and chickens and also let the baby goats and pony. There’s also pigs and a large pond full of fish. Toilets and shower were very clean. The place is amazing and we had a lovely time and visited the zoo and Manley Mere in the local area. My daughter loved playing with Pip the Dog who was very good with kids. Will definitely return

Small quiet field surrounded by Alpacas, hens, sheep and goats, the friendliest hosts Tracey and Colin who would do anything for you, basic clean facilities, this was the perfect set up for an amazing couple of days of relaxation, we will definitely be back and would highly recommend to anyone looking for the same, especially if you have children, they will love it as they are encouraged to be very hands on with the animals by Tracey & Colin. Loved it 👍

Absolutely amazing! Excellent for children! My 7 year old was allowed to bottle feed the lambs, feed the other animals and collect the eggs. A Beautiful setting and the couple who own it are lovely and really accommodating and have a little shop. Will definitely go again.

First time visiting Swallow Farm, and it wont be our last. Lovely cosy camping pitch, about 6 pitches with a great area for the kids to play in the middle. Great flat grassed area, well kept grounds. Owners Colin and Tracey are fab, so attentive, friendly and welcoming. They look after the grounds well, and are on hand to help in any way they can. Teens loved the animals: chickens, alpacas, lambs, sheep, horse, pig, goats and baby goats. They were encouraged by owners to feed and wash down the animals (under owners watch), and Colin and Tracey gave the kids loads of interesting info about all the animals. Really nice break away from home, providing a great family atmosphere. Visited locally the I've Cream Farm and Crocky Trail which were really close and great days out. Will definitely pay another visit soon.

Really nice area with beautiful views. Its a basic but well looked after field on a working farm, no EHU ect but you can't moan for the price, would definitely stay again.
