The morning mist lifts off wet grass and you hear nothing but birdsong and the distant bleat of sheep — Waterside Farm feels properly rural, the kind of place where you remember what quiet actually sounds like.
This is a back-to-basics spot for tenters and campervan folk who don't need a shower block with underfloor heating. Dog owners will want to ask ahead, but the farm setting suggests lead-walking territory and countryside lanes worth exploring. The facilities aren't spelled out, so it's wise to arrive self-sufficient and ready for a simpler pitch — this isn't a resort, it's a working farm that happens to welcome campers.
Campfires are a possibility but you'll need to check when you turn up, so pack a stove as backup. Expect a friendly but no-frills welcome, muddy boots by the tent, and the kind of peace that makes you sleep like a stone. If you're after convenience and polish, look elsewhere. If you want to actually feel like you've left town, Waterside Farm delivers.
