Yes, we allow up to 2 dogs per pitch and provide free poo bags, dog treats and a lovely dog walking field. We ask that dogs are always kept on a lead (except in the walking field).
We provide free wifi and the mobile signal is pretty good.
BBQs – Yes, we love them! We ask you not to place them directly on the ground to protect the grass and guard against fires. BBQs are available free throughout the campsite.
Fires – We love them too, but the dry weather in this area makes them a hazard in summer. We often use our own fire pits in the orchard, where we can control and supervise them.
Give us a call or send us an email and we will accommodate you if we can.
Electric hook-ups are available throughout the site. If you haven’t got electric, then we’re happy to recharge your phone for free.
We’re not big on rules. Our priority is that everyone (us included) has a fabulous, happy, relaxing time. We mainly ask that guests respect each other and the facilities and ideally smile and say ‘hello’. You can see our campsite policies here.
