The first thing you notice is how quiet it is — no road hum, just birdsong and the creak of old timber settling in the morning sun.

The Old Dairy runs to chalets and camping pods rather than canvas, so it suits anyone after a bit more shelter — families who want four walls and a lockable door, couples chasing a cosy retreat, or friends who'd rather not wrestle tent pegs in the rain. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking when you book if you're bringing one along. It's the kind of spot that works for a few nights off-grid or a longer base if you're exploring the wider area.

Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so best to check what's onsite when you get in touch — same goes for campfires, which may be allowed depending on conditions and the time of year. The vibe feels low-key and tucked-away, more about unwinding than entertainment. Pack what you need, arrive with modest expectations, and you'll likely find it does the job nicely.
