  • Mini concierge service: order wine, chocolates and barbecue meat
Pre-pitched at Vine Cross is a small family-run site, welcoming campers to enjoy a 'no news, only views' digital detox in a countryside setting. Off-ground barbecues and firepits can be used (no campfires please): you can hire either on site or bring your own. Located off the beaten track by an arable farming land, the campsite caters for families and small, quiet groups looking for a back-to-basics holiday with optional extra comforts. The on-site mini concierge service allows guests to prebook chocolate boxes, wine cases and barbecue meat to be delivered to your pitch so that you only need to show up and enjoy the holiday. Being a rural site, the facilities are basic and only include eco-friendly toilets, so please, remember to take a portable shower with you. The campsite is near a walking route leading to several local pubs and has easy access to the Cuckoo Trail.
