Rustic Charm: Award-Winning Wedding Venue

We stay in our Campervan. It's peaceful, natural surrounds, an oasis hidden from the hustle and bustle. If you want to unplug from life this is the spot. Morning coffee overlooking the river - priceless! The camp kitchen, modern clean showers and toilets, more like glamping! The grounds are immaculate.

Paradise Wedding Venue: A Slice of Heaven

We have been coming to this little piece of paradise for years and have a wonderful experience each and every time col and Julie go out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable and special . There is absolutely no way we would return so many times if it wasn’t so special . It is simply beautiful and they really go above and beyond to ensure that their campers are happy while also remembering that this is also a wedding venue as well .
