Safety..

  • We have a small river running along the site. Children are more than welcome to paddle, but please make sure they are accompanied by an adult at all times.

  • We have chickens and pigs on the farm. Please make sure the gates are shut behind you and wash your hands if you touch the animals.

  • We also have a lovely friendly dog called Tilo. He loves children and fetching sticks! Please don't throw stones for him as it's bad for his teeth. Unfortunately we don’t allow you to bring your own dogs to the site.

  • The campsite itself is car free, but you are welcome to drive your car to your yurt to drop off your belongings. The track is bumpy and can be muddy, so please drive slowly and carefully. There is a car park a short walk away by the farm shop.

  • The Yurt platforms are made from timber planks - please avoid getting splinters by wearing shoes when you are on the platform.

  • There are instructions for the wood stoves in the yurts – please make sure you read these and use them properly. Please take responsibility of little hands near hot wood stoves. There are smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in each yurt.
