ADULTS ONLY 18+ -
Bring your own tents. Extra gazebo permitted. Some camping equipment can be hired from us.

Each grass pitch has mains water and access to a private utility tent with a Thetford portable flush toilet using eco chemicals. Also a hand basin with soap and towel. It will be serviced by us.
For hot water/showers: An en-suite tent with a gas-fired Joolca hot shower and table with wash-up facility is available to hire on Holly and Dixie pitch. Please book in advance of stay.
This is a wild site with natural drainage, so fewer guests per pitch prevent the ground around the shower/wash-up area becoming too wet.

Bring some wellies if it's wet weather and a torch.
There is great stargazing on clear nights.

Parking...
Cars cannot gain access to the wild garden pitches so parking for 2 - 3 cars is on the gravel near the house, or in dry weather down the drive in front of the farm building.
Motor cycles and bicycles are easier to park and in dry weather they can be taken nearer to the pitch if preferred.
A Sherpa trolley and barrow are available for your gear - level mown grass tracks.
Our pitches...Holly, Dixie and Fox
Below are photos and descriptions of the pitches to help you with selecting your preferred site to pitch the tent.
