The smell of a proper farmhouse breakfast drifts across the yard while chickens potter about their morning business — this is working countryside, not a manicured site.
Blackwood Farm suits couples after a rural bolt-hole and walkers who'd rather sleep under a solid roof than canvas. You've got a choice between a camping pod if you want the outdoors-lite experience or guest house rooms if you fancy proper sheets and an ensuite. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth a call ahead if you're bringing yours. It's year-round, which makes it handy for off-season breaks when half the country's campsites are shuttered.
Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so expect farmstay simplicity rather than shower blocks and playgrounds. Campfires are a maybe — check when you arrive, as it'll depend on the season and the farmer's mood. The vibe's quiet and genuine, the kind of place where you'll actually chat to your host over the gate rather than swipe a key card and disappear.
