What visitors say
Husband and kids had a wonderful stay at this beautiful campsite. Owners so helpful with my questions and made the experience of booking arrival and departure relaxed and easy. Pop up glamping tent was so pretty, very comfy and you get a good amount of private space around the pitch. The cafe also super cute, great service and serves delicious cakes. Enjoyed the stay even though it wasnt the best weather so would be even more amazing in nice weather to sit and enjoy the space and natural beauty. Finchingfield village is picture postcard with great pubs.

We had the most magical weekend with our girls. The campsite was perfect location and they have thought of everything, the tents and campsite is perfectly looked after The girls enjoyed freedom of capping and the site, little trails, chance to feed the chickens and lambs. Julia and family were most thoughtful hosts. The cafe is lovely and lavender field will be incredible in blooms We are already planning next years visit

A fantastic camping site, just beautiful in amongst the wildflower meadow and lavender fields so peaceful. Plenty of space to pitch my tent, toilets and showers were perfect. The larger tents already pitched for hire looked amazing. The cafe and facilities were perfect 👌 pastries were very tasty. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back.
