Hay House Farm

David is a kind and welcoming host with an interesting property- loved walking the trails into the nature reserve straight from the campsite and sitting in the bamboo circle. At one point the mist came out and being there felt like being in a movie. Feels like a special place!

David's garden is beautiful and charming. We had a very nice stay there. He was very helpful and friendly, meeting us when. We arrived and helping to bring our stuff from the car to the campsite (a short walk of about 150 feet). Would happily return

Gorgeous unique site - best camp!

We loved camping at Hay House Farm - the garden and bamboo and stupa are beautiful. It was also a pleasure to chat with David - ask him about his wonderful book about the dogs and cat at the farm. So glad we found this spot and town - we will be back!
