Liked: Great hidden location with amazing views. Clean toilets, showers and wash area. Friendly owner and a very good price. Alpacas and peacocks roaming around freely is such a nice touch as well. One of the peacocks visited every tent, is it trained as security we wondered? Hahaa. Adult only site.
Disliked: None.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for such a lovely review. The Peacocks are so nosey! They just want to check out everyone that is using THEIR field!
Excellent site, facilities, staff, and location.

Liked: The campsite itself was amazing. The host took the time to mow the field once we'd arrived. Amazing views. there is alpacas, wallabies, peacocks, ducks, and meerkats at the site to enjoy for free. There is amazing surrounding walks and views. The second night there were a lot more people camping but it was still quiet and enjoyable. There is excellent toilet and shower facilities, communal fire pit, picnic benches, and a washing up area.
Disliked: nothing. :)

Liked: The owners were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The views were absolutely breathtaking. What truly made this experience special was the chance to see animals roaming freely around the campsite. It felt like a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Liked: The view was incredible. Loved seeing the peacocks, geese and Alpacas roaming around. The host was very amenable and lovely to chat too. Great location. Stone slabs available for fires.
Disliked: The lights in the toilet kept going off whilst in use and the shower kept turning off as the whole system was solar powered. However, they were kept very clean. The driveway up to the site is very steep and windy.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We are so sorry about the solar issue, because we are so remote we do sometimes have issues with the electricity tripping. We hope that this issue didn't spoil your visit.
Excellent site, friendly staff, good location, clean facilities.

Liked: Very friendly welcoming chatty owners the place had great views and a relaxed vibe with very inquisitive and cute feathered and fury friends
Disliked: No locks on toilets
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We are glad you enjoyed your stay and the animals. We apologise regarding the toilet doors, there are locks on the inside, its just that you need to lift the handle up to turn the lock. We will make sure that we let customers know this in future so they don't experience the same issue.
Great stay

Liked: We were given a very warm welcome on arrival. Due to the time of year and recent rain it was a bit boggy in places but found a good spot to park and close to the toilets. The toilets and shower blocks were very clean and shower was nice and hot. We went upto the top of the cloud which only takes 10 mins from the site and the views were stunning! Waking up in the morning to 4 alpacas staring at me from behind the camper was a funny start to the day. All the animals on the site are definitely a great feature. We will definitely be returning!
Disliked: The driveway is very steep but we made it up alright in our camper, you just have to go for it and hope nobody is coming down
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: The Alpacas are just soooo nosey! 😀 I am so pleased you enjoyed being here and braved the weather. Parts of the field definitely get a bit squishy, hopefully the rain won't be so heavy and constant this year. You are so right about the drive, it is just a case of going for it, once you have done it a couple of times it gets easier 😁 Thank you for such a lovely review and we hope to see you back with us again soon.
