Open Fires
Given the current prolonged dry spell, we have taken the decision to restrict the use of firepits, barbeques (disposable or otherwise) portable pizza ovens and so on at the pitches. We have BBQ and pizza oven facilities in the camp kitchen and the wood fired showers are still operational. Small gas stoves and kelly kettles can be used on the stone slabs at your pitch.
Slow Camping
on a wilder wool farm in Suffolk
Tent pitches, pre-pitched bell tents and a StarDome set amongst meadow wildflowers
It’s all about slowing down, checking out for a while and resetting the balance.
Heating your hot water stove, laying the evening campfire and washing up whilst watching the buzzards and swallows flying overhead are all part of the daily routine.
Our campsite can be found in a 4 acre meadow on our small family farm and we offer just five tent pitches, two Slow Camp bell tents and a StarDome to keep things small and peaceful.
As we share the meadow with the local wildlife we are unable to accommodate pets.

Secluded fixed pitches with picnic tables were a lovely touch. The immediate surroundings are beautiful and there’s lots of wildlife to see from your tent. Early mornings were incredibly rewarded with owl fly-bys. We managed to do a few hikes from the farm in the surrounding countryside so a great place if you don’t have a car. The farm walk in the evening as the sun sets is a must. And the farm shop is great (although a little pricey) for lovely produce - about a 10 minute walk.
But most important, Kath and Neel were beyond helpful and lovely to us. Never imposing, but always there if needed. They really set the tone of the whole place and we definitely will be back.
It's a great location for exploring Sussex with a farm shop and cafe nearby. Our children were fascinated by the alpacas and sheep and loved exploring the fields and forests.
The level of service went above and beyond. We had an issue with our bike and the proprietors were so incredibly helpful - there is no way we would have been able to manage the issue without them.
We will definitely be back and will tell our friends to visit as well.
