Things to Know

Before You Book

  • For safety reasons, cars cannot be parked on the grass or tracks adjacent to tents, but you’re welcome to unload before moving to the car park.

  • Grass space for awnings is to the left of each hardstanding pitch. If you have a large awning, please contact us before booking.

  • Large caravans aren’t suitable for pitches H-17 to H-25. If you're bringing a small caravan, motor movers are required. Roof tent users should book under ‘campervan’ for the best pitch allocation.

  • As we’re based on an arable farm, you may see (and hear) agricultural vehicles, especially during harvest (August–September).

  • Well-behaved dogs are allowed (max. 3 per pitch), with a small fee per night.

  • No bonfires or open fires, but BBQs raised off the ground are permitted.

  • Please keep noise to a minimum after 11pm.

  • All group bookings (corporate stays, large family groups, all-male/female groups) must be arranged in advance.
