The 2 farm gates are not hinged and as older campers we struggled a bit. We had the camp to ourselves and that was lovely, however the wind absolutely howled all night and I genuinely thought the tent would shred! There are wind turbines nearby so I guess lots of wind was to be expected!  Tracey was helpful however, so I hope others get to enjoy the farm site."

No other campers were able to assist us in identifying the numbering system .\nWe drove around twice looking for any numbering system. Finally moved to a location far from the old building where we located a very small tin sign with the number 7 !  Stayed there 😬🤗\nMy request. Could host simply improve on visible site location numbers ?\nCheers\nRod\n"
