    Emma was brilliant with the children and directed them to the secret mud kitchen in the woods that was just beautiful. Theres lots for the children to do and play with. We were gifted some lemon cake and homemade juice which was absolutely yummy!!! The glamping tent was huge and comfortably slept all 5 of us whilst giving us lots of space within the main area of the tent. The cupboard bedroom was a real hit with my daughter. We had a hot tub which was super easy to get going (do this as soon as you can to be able to enjoy it as soon as you arrive). The grounds are just breathtaking as well as the peace and tranquility. We were offered to do the farm tour but my children decided to sleep in, so I embraced the opportunity to sit outside with a cuppa. The tent is so clean and tidy and felt like we were the first ones using it. The beds are really comfy and slept amazing.... we really wished we had stayed longer. Be prepared for absolute darkness at night, so an extra torch needs to be packed. We also took our gas stove for a quick brew in the morning rather than waiting for the stove to heat up which i would recommend taking.... also do remember to take slippers. We didn't do much exploring further out of the site as we were quite happy to explore the grounds and relax. We will definitely return if we are ever down south again. Thank you Aller Farm Camping x

    Well stocked farm shop for those little bits you need in a hurry, or forget to pick up from town. Very quiet field, not overcrowded at all which adds to the peacefulness of the location. Hosts were also incredible! Were happy to show the children parts of the dairy farm, the calves and milking which really made a brilliant end to the holiday. Will definitely be back in the future.

    Always there if you have a question. Their farm is just idillic, a gorgeous setting where the children can go off and you know they are safe. Loved every minute of our stay. Thank you to Emma and Nigel for making our week so relaxing.
