Liked: Fantastic location with great access to main roads, linking you to both Dorset attractions and Devon! Facilities onsite were great, making our stay all the more enjoyable, relaxed and easy - not easy when you're camping with kids and a dog! The field was lovely and the views were faultless, the goats were a great attraction for our son.
