Unpowered grass and earth tent site
Liked: Lovely camp side with a nice pitches you are welcome to pick your own. You can buy eggs from chickens you will pass every day. Good for walking paths and near to the village. On arrival we got straw to even out the floor before pitching the tent . That was really cool. Compost toilet with tadpoles swimming in the tank near by. Great view on the side from it. No shower facilities but there is a sink and hot water in the pot most of the times really so no problem. This part is very windy so please remember to get good clothing and all the pegs for tent.
Disliked: The only thing is that you need to remember that on Sunday there is NO bus service and it is a very very very long walk to the station lucky Ted&Elizabeth gave us a lift to the Wickford station as there were going out. No taxi service either .

Fenced Paddock unpowered grass and earth tent site (firepit)
Liked: Beautiful setting with a true wild camp feel. Short distance to a couple of fun beaches. Friendly couple that run the place. Goats and chickens everywhere was fun for the kids. Nice to have a fire pit by the tent. Really nice stay.
Disliked: There is not much to do in the area but that just means it's perfect for a quiet and relaxing stay instead of an activity filled one

Unpowered grass and earth tent site
Liked: This is a lovely site which will bring you back in touch with nature. A nice quiet area with sounds only of nature. The chickens and goats are a great selling point as it really ties into the experience. The owners are both very welcoming and willing to help out if needed. We also got some lovely eggs from the chickens on site. đ The toilet is as youâd expect for a compost toilet, it is kept very well looked after and stocked up with necessities.

Liked: Loved the chickens that roam the site, and the friendly goats. Our 2 year old couldn't get enough of them! We loved the kind and helpful owners Elizabeth and Ted and their friendly dogs. We loved the peace and tranquility of the place. And the sunsets! We loved that you can leave your car at the site, and walk to the village, to the sea, to St Peter's Chapel through paths and quiet little roads. We had a wonderful break there.

Liked: I have just spent 4 nights at Peace Place and loved it. As a woman travelling alone I felt safe and grounded. It is not a place to stay if you like new and plush as amenities are built from upcycled materials and basic but practical. If you want a place to sit, gather yourself and tread lightly on the planet and immerse yourself in birdsong this is the place for you. Especially good for alternative thinkers.
