Hayne House B & B

The crunch of gravel under your boots, the creak of a farmhouse door, and suddenly you're somewhere that feels more like visiting distant relatives than checking into a campsite.

Hayne House works for anyone after a proper roof and a bit of comfort — couples wanting a cosy base without the faff of tent pegs, solo travellers who fancy a warm welcome, or families testing the waters before committing to full canvas. The camping pods offer a middle ground if you want that almost-outdoors feeling with a lockable door, while the guest house rooms are straightforward B&B territory. Dogs might be welcome depending on where you're staying, so worth asking when you book.

It's open all year, which means you can dodge the summer scrum or turn up for a winter escape when most campsites have shuttered up. Campfires are a maybe — check when you arrive rather than assuming. Expect something low-key and personal, the kind of place where the kettle's always on and someone actually remembers your name.
