Liked: Beautiful farm, was lovely camping around animals. Very nice family run
Disliked: Wasn’t impressed with amenities. Only 3 unisex toilets for the whole campsite, wouldn’t consider it as a toilet block. Only 1 sink to wash hands and 1 sink to wash dishes. Wouldn’t be adequate for more than 5 tents
