Tiny, environmentally friendly site with a yurt, tipi, gypsy caravan, bell tent and holiday cottage as well as a handful of small tent pitches. Set in a mature wildlife garden, the site also has a communal fire area, sheltered camp kitchen, compost loo, jungle shower, free bike hire plus many other facilities. Friendly ducks & chickens share the garden with you and over the fence you can spot some pigs, goats and a donkey. At night the garden sparkles with magic as the solar fairy lights twinkle. The area is perfect for walking and cycling and the coast is only 10 miles away. Onsite there's a small quiet village pub selling a wide range of draught and bottled local ales, ciders and soft drinks. Also available in the pub is a range of organic and/or fair trade wines and spirits. Just half a mile up the road (walkable in 15 mins) is another village pub serving hot meals.
