What visitors say
The owners of the site are so accommodating, friendly & welcoming! The facilities are well kept, clean & fit for purpose. The views are stunning, as are the animals around the farm. Our visit was for business but being here meant we could enjoy rest time too & we couldn't have been more looked after! I would highly recommend Fontmills Farm Campsite to any of my friends and family as it almost feels therapeutic. Thank you so much Steve & Nicola x

Really well thought out and run camp site. We took the glamping option with our young family. The 5m bell tent was spacious, immaculate and perfect for our family of 4. Location was great, right next to the cuckoo trail railway line for flat walks or rides out on a paved surface into the surrounding countryside, where we saw lots of wildlife! Also not far to the coast either.

Amazing campsite. We stayed in a bell tent and it was the best bell tent we have ever stayed in with comfy beds, cozy decor, bedding and all of your kitchen equipment provided too. Owners are lovely and facilities are great. Would 100% recommend.
