Brilliant campsite with a farm, perfect for toddlers

Ong, Yvette - 25/10/2026

5

Booked a night driving back south from Scotland and wow was blown away by the well managed site and hospitality of the staff. The shower block was clean, great water pressure and even came with a sauna! My toddler had the time of his life feeding the farm animals in the morning, and was even gifted a soft toy donkey before we left. We will definitely choose to stay again when we head North!

The Best Campsite Ever!

Fardell, Carole - 25/10/2026

5

We were bowled over by this place. From the cheerful, friendly reception to the facilities and surrounding area, this place was just so well-thought-out and perfect.The toilet facilities had under floor heating, separate cubicles with toilet, sink, shower and BATH, and were kept immaculately clean throughout.There was a playground for the children, a pleasant mown walkway for onsite walking with picnic benches scattered around with wonderful views. Dogs were given a welcome pack as they arrived, had their own special dog shower complete with shampoo and restraints for their safety, and a secure dog field with balls,flingers and poo bags.There were animals for the guests to feed under supervision at special times, all of whom looked well-looked after and clean.There was a laundry and a wonderful kitchen room with tables and chairs, vending machines, a microwave, kettle and toaster, and a washing up area. The staff were extremely friendly, attentive, cheerful and relaxed. Per

Lovely site in great location

Llewhellin, Gillian - 24/10/2026

5

We stayed for 2 nights in our campervan. Very friendly welcome when we arrived and all staff we came across were very pleasant. Nice big, level pitches with lovely views. Facilities were very well maintained and exceptionally clean - it was obvious they were checked numerous times during the day. We were there on their Friday pizza night and we had a delicious pizza delivered to our van which was a bonus, Close to Hadrians wall which it is possible to walk to but very convenient bus stops outside the site which stops at various points along the wall and also the very nice pub at bottom of the hill - the Milestone Inn which saves a walk back up the hill if you fancy a drink after a long walk along the wall! Definitely a site we will return to.

Fantastic dog friendly site

Stephenson, Julie - 24/10/2026

I stopped at herding hall farm for two nights, with my dog, in my camper. Fantastic dog walking area where I could walk Bob not on the lead which was fantastic. The shower block was warm, clean and had the radio playing which I thought was lovely. Also there are a couple of baths!!Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. The site is very close to sycamore gap as well.

Beautiful Countryside Campsite

James, Ailsa - 23/10/2026

5

Whilst our one night stay was a brief one we would happily stay here again - and for longer! It is in an outstanding area and the site itself offers a great deal for families with small children who would no doubt be fascinated by the animals; Donkeys, Llamas, Ponies, Chickens to name but a few. Toilet/shower facilities modern and clean.
