Just stayed 3 nights at this lovely site. Lovely welcome from the owners with a long list of things to do in the area and some fresh laid eggs. Had a great tour of the working farm by the very busy owners who never seem to stop. Ideal for cycling and walking in the area. A fabulous choice for families as children will love the animals. Dogs made very welcome too. Definitely worth a visit
Lovely 3 nights away
Lovely site, large well cared for field with electric, water taps and toilet waste point.
Enjoyed the farm tour by a very hardworking Patricia, the couple never stop.
Just missed seeing a calf born but great to see it over the fence running about.
Nice area for walking with the dogs and cycling.
Totally relaxing stay in the countryside.

Farm life
We were welcomed by Patricia with a big smile and a gift of half a dozen fresh eggs.
Patricia explained the running of the farm and told us about the rescue animals.
She invited us to tour the farm the next day.
Both Patricia and her husband Chris are passionate about rearing their animals in the most humane way possible . The tour was very informative and interesting.
The CL pitches are very spacious and flat with views across the fields.
A most enjoyable stay.

Excellent place to stay
We have just stayed at this wonderful working farm, fantastic welcoming from Chris followed by Patricia visiting our van with a welcome pack and free range fresh eggs...
The site is very well maintained and very clean, grass pitch which was lovely to park on, very flat and although it rained did not get muddy atall.
We also had a farm tour where we learnt what Patricia and Chris do on the farm and Patricia's passion for animals which was very touching hearing some of her stories on how she gained the animals she has, the farm is very well run and the animals are all beautiful, im booking again thats for sure x
week in september
welcomed on site when owner home from work with list of local details and phone numbers and eggs a lovely surprise. Came to site as approx 15 minutes to Oulton Park race circuit for BSB motorbike racing. Lovely scenery, quiet (except when cows got going but what do you expect in the country) and lots to do locally.
Confirmation of previous reviews.
To confirm the previous reviews this C.L is one of the best we have visited, The family that run the site are extremely helpful and cannot do enough to make the stay worth while and pleasant..
The farm tour given by Patricia is enjoyable and informative, and my better half cant wait to do it again ,the eggs we received on arrival were fresh and tasty and free please add the bacon etc next time( thank you)!!!!!
Its a C.L that we will revisit A.S.A.P.
NOTE
We understand from the owner that the site is open all year and does close in October as per the information on the club notes.but advise that this is checked with the owners.

Amazing stay
We had an amazing time down at the farm.
Patricia gave us a lovely tour despite being very busy.
We learned a lot and met all the lovely animals, poultry, calves, poneys!
Christopher took the time to tell us all about his job and let us pet the calves.
The site was clean leveled, elsan point was practical and out of the way.
The only thing I'd say is the CL entrance sign could be bigger but that is probably on the CMC side as they all have the same tiny one.. Maybe a big sign of there own to emphasize the entrance.
A great place to stop.
Oh and we were greeted with 6 free range eggs from the farm and a nice liflet with all the info about the area what to do where to eat.. really great host work !
Warm and Welcoming
We love this quiet site. The hosts were so welcoming and gave everyone visiting freshly laid eggs. The hosts work tirelessly on the working farm and have quite a few rescued animals, but don’t feed the animals as most are on special diets for medical reasons. A tour of the the farm was greatly received and recommended.
This is a perfect little site for dogs, children and adults with plenty of room. The owners don’t mind where you site on the field but if you want to stay at the far end just bring a long EHU cable. I asked my husband what he thought and he said don’t tell everyone as I want to be able to come back! Needing your own facilities wasn’t a problem for us but I do think the owners have plans to add some.
We visit family in the local area so intend to use this site as our base when we do so. Thank you so very much for a lovely stay.
What a great find
Just visited last weekend, what a great CL. I would imagine it would be fairly quiet but they were getting the hay in so it wasn't on this occasion but it wasn't an issue.
Lovely couple Pat & Chris and such hard working people - nothing was too much trouble for them, and Pat's passion for her animals whether that is for the horses, calves, pigs (and gorgeous piglets) to hens and guinea pigs is amazing and she is so caring.
Lovely flat field and such a perfect place to sit and watch the wildlife, would definitely re-visit.
