 This is the most beautiful and peaceful site I have ever known in the UK. The wildflowers and the birds and the views are a joy. The walking straight from the campsite is wonderful.

The facilities are clean and tidy and exactly what we want, just toilets, shower and washing up area. The weekend pop up food is great value.

We've stayed here lots of times over a few years now, at all times of year, tent/ sometimes a pod in winter/ and now a campervan.

We really like that it's never overcrowded, because it's big enough and the lie of the and the trees keeps things spaced out nicely. The meadows are left to flower, with just enough mown spaces to camp and to walk down to the facilities.

It's nice to be able to have a little campfire (on a raised firepit), raised firepits are available if you havent got your own, and wood to buy. All in all this is the perfect happy place.

The owners are friendly, helpful and relaxed.

I love it that they've farmed this valley, and protected and encouraged the wildlife, for decades.

It's a great spot for all the Duke of Edinburgh Award groups who use it too, perfect base for their 2 and 3 day expeditions, and the spaciousness and lie of the land means this campsite never feels crowded even when there are several D og E groups here at once.

It's great for families and young children too.

It is a working farm so the reception /office is not manned all of the time, which I guess is not to everyone's taste, but we love it here.

 A lovely relaxed sheltered site with plenty of level pitches and lots of space.

Could perhaps do with more toilets and showers. Not too busy when we were there. Great access to riverside walks or for the Long Mynd.

Nice pub, The Bridges a pleasant 10-15 min walk away. Decent food, although chips and veg not always included in the price.

The real plus factor is that you don't have to book and you'll always find a pitch as they open up a spillover field.

Also do reasonably priced burghers, chips, breakfast from a van. I had the cheesy chips, which were excellent.

Very laid back in collection of money. Tried paying on leaving, but no one available.

Still owe them £66 for 3 nights, 2 adults and a dog. Promise I'll pay.

The dog loved it, as long as supervised they didn't seem to mind if the dog was off his lead.

 A really lush site in a beautiful valley.

Laid back site with a mix of users, it has hook ups if you need it

Showers and loos all nice and clean it also has a small shop.

The big plus is the environment, it's beautiful round there

A short walk to the Bridges pub either on the road or the woodland footpath.

 We love this site.

Stayed in small tent, big tent and one of their pods.

Just a real shame 'dogs on lead' policy isn't stuck to with some campers.

Experience can soon be ruined when your owns dogs are on a leash at the tent and other dogs are running around.

More signs around the field stating importance of this please.

See you soon.

Nights stayed: 9 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: Godking 11 reviews from this member

 This is possibly the most relaxed site we have ever visited, so relaxed that on the Tuesday we were the only people on site, as even the delightful Sue and David had gone back home - they run the site for John and Rachel.

The peace and tranquillity are unrivalled- there was no traffic noise, no lawnmowers- you may be unlucky and catch a day when the hay is being cut, but it still isn't loud. It was so quiet we could hear drinks being poured in the pub, which is over a mile away.

One downside is the lack of shopping; the nearest town is Church Stretton, which is a scary ride over the Long Mynd. We opted for Tuffins in Craven Arms, which is farther, but a much safer drive, and they had Welsh Dragon sausages. Yum! The narrow lanes will test your driving skills, but the locals are forgiving.

There is a shallow stream at the back of the site, an ideal playground for kids, which is just as well, as there are no other facilities for children, other than plenty of trees to climb, and miles of footpaths to explore, up hill and down dale.

The facilities are clean and well presented. We will definitely be back just to hear the quiet. Oh, my gawsh, the quiet!

 Spent two nights in a minicamper, £16 for the duration. Site is in a lovely location with the Shropshire Way running on the other side of a stream. It's in a very rural location and there are no shops that I was aware of within miles so stock up en route.

Large camping field so there was plenty of space to pitch where you liked. Mixture of young families, older couples etc and it was quiet at night. Facilities were fine, not plush but hadn't expected or needed that. The toilets were clean, I didn't use the showers so can't comment.

It's 15 years or so since I last visited the Shropshire Hills but I don't think I'll leave it as long again.

 Lovely location and reasonably priced. Friendly owners.

Few niggles - only one washing up sink for the whole site and no hot water for this. Only 2 showers and toilets were without toilet roll on a couple of occasions.

Apart from this a great basic site.

Reviewer: Silverten 5 reviews from this member

 Really, really beautiful location. Quite a large site (12 acre field so the website says) but surprisingly quiet even on a Bank Holiday weekend.

A few wooden glamping pods, a few electric hook ups- but this is really a 'camping' campsite rather than a glamping site full of home comforts really. It's very reasonably priced- £6pppn for tent camping, under 5s free.

Fires are allowed off the ground- firepits to hire, along with fuel to buy in the site shop, which is open in the evenings. A few picnic tables here and there, and lots of space for the kids to run about.

A nice, civilised atmosphere- everyone was enjoying themselves but no one got carried away. Dogs are allowed under owner's control- it's a working farm and any running free would probably be booted off quick sharp anyway.

Facilities are really quite basic- one cold water washing up station (outside) and three loos per male/female in rather tired shipping containers. Also an 'accessible' toilet. They were reasonably clean for the whole BH weekend even though the site was pretty full, and there was always toilet paper. Two showers for the whole site, rather weirdly both in the same room, so queues did happen. 50p for ten minutes which is enough to get clean with- they were decent enough and did the job.

Ten minutes' walk from an excellent pub which serves good food, and about half an hour drive over the Burway to Church Stretton. Great location for enjoying the Shropshire Hills, but not on the beaten track! During the summer the Shropshire Hills bus service runs past the farm every hour, when it runs.

Lovely site if you want a proper 'camping' experience- but not necessarily one to go to if you want a few home comforts!

Reviewer: L1bby 3 reviews from this member

 The site was very basic but very clean but was nicely spread out didn’t feel everybody was on top of each other.

There was a fab stream at the bottom of the field the children had a great time paddling in it as it was quite hot.

Also you can walk along side the stream on a country path which is great fun with the kids which leads to a fab family pub with lovely food.

The staff were very friendly and helpful.
