What an absolute joy this place is. We stayed in one of the lodges - Heron - for ten-days and the time we had was nowhere near long enough. So much to love about the place we booked for two-weeks next year on only our second day.||From the moment you turn into the driveway you know you are in for a good stay. ||The camping field was empty when we arrived, however, having been an avid camper for many decades had I known about this place before I would certainly have wanted to book a pitch. The toilet block is decent size for the amount of pitches - eight in total, all with electric hook-up - and the washing up area is one of the nicest I’ve seen - although it being outside might not be such a joy on a rainy day. The four lodges are located the other side of the camping field. ||Pulling up to our lodge and seeing an alpaca - Jeffrey - lounging on the grass area was delightful. He became a regular daily visitor and was most welcomed. One evening he even popped his head in the door to see what was going on. The other side of the fence was Albert (alpaca) along with Wonky Wilma, Tulip and Lenny the sheep. All popped their heads over, and through the fence daily. The lodges further up had the two miniature ponies at the ends of their gardens. ||I can’t speak for the other three but I believe they are all built identically and as ours was spotlessly clean I have no doubt those were too. They certainly looked it from our vantage point. Fully equipped with everything we needed with the most gorgeous far-reaching views, I think I can honestly say the lodge was perfect. Whether relaxing on the sofa - the most comfortable I’ve sat on - watching the clouds blow by through the massive windows/door which truly are ‘picture’ windows, to the little wing backed seat facing inwards you are guaranteed comfort. Sitting on the patio with a hot cuppa as the sun drops down listening to the birds twittering was pure joy. How I would have loved to be able to pop out some bird feeders, although we were still blessed to see a plethora of different varieties. ||The downstairs wet room is ideal if you are unable to navigate stairs and is plenty big enough to get a wheelchair in if needed. Both down and upstairs showers are large with great water pressure and two different show heads. ||The beds were exceptionally comfortable, although the upstairs one did creak/clonk a bit so be aware of that if you have a light sleeper in the downstairs bedroom. We didn’t use the bunkbeds but they seemed really sturdy and I have no doubt the lower one would take a lighter weighted adult. ||There is plenty of parking for a couple of vehicles at each lodge without anyone needing to park on the grass areas. There are general outside bins provided for everything; general, glass, plastic, paper/card recycling and enough bags/bins inside the lodge to be able to keep everything separate. The EV charge point is located on the bin shed and has two charge points. An app is required to access them; on our stay it cost 60p per KWH. It’s not a fast charge though as it’s a 22KWH and is not tethered. I got only 7KWH out of it but plugging in overnight will enable you to fully charge so not an issue. ||I’ve never visited a self-catering property before which provides so many towels, and I loved that they weren’t white. I know we are always clean when exiting a shower but it always worries me I’m going to make a white towel grubby so I always bring my own from home; I needn’t have bothered. In addition to the bathroom/shower towels there was also a pile of beach towels, ideal for the hot tub. ||It helped that we had glorious weather during our stay but I have no doubt had it been slinging it down with rain we would have enjoyed ourselves just as much. ||I know a few people have commented on the gaps in the fencing between the lodges - to enable the owners to mow the grounds easier - but it’s really not an issue unless your dog owner neighbours don’t have control over their dog. For our first few days we did get up each morning to our neighbours dog poop on the patio, and they enjoyed launching it’s ball across the fences of all the other lodges, however, had the fence continued all the way it would have still be able to get in so the gaps made not a jot of difference. Thankfully the second-part of our week the neighbours were respectful and kept their dog under control. The owners dog Billy popped by a few times; be aware he’s not shy about entering the lodge and the little wotnot managed to nab a slice of bread-and-butter off the table before we could stop him 🙂 He is lovely though and thoroughly enjoys a head rub and belly scratch. ||The owners, Jo and Neil, are lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Being invited down to visit the Sea Harrier and learn the story of how Neil acquired it was a definite highlight. ||Then there is the hot tub. We only had two of us so it appeared huge and gave us the option of trying all the jets/seats, but it would easily seat four people comfortably. The water in it was crystal clear and Jo came around daily to check the levels and cleanliness. The bar attached to the lid made it easy for us to lift off - the lids can be quite heavy on them - and the steps to get in were sturdy and not too steep. I had my seventy-nine year old Mum with me who suffers from spinal arthritis and she was able to get in/out without issue. ||The only downside - nothing to do with the farm itself - is turning out of Castle Lane. You take your life in your hands as it’s a blind bend. Turning left is a little less terrifying but going right hold your breath and hope for the best. Luckily for us the only time we did meet another vehicle it was a rather large lorry who had to take it a little slower.

On our journey back from Polzeath, Due to traffic we decided to pull off the M5, stopped googled the best sites in the area and Castle farm popped up. I called and the owner Niel welcomed us to stay. We made our way to the campsite across the moors we stayed on a hard standing pitch with electric and all the eminaties including toilates showers and wash area with a fridge freezer if required. We had a gorgeous view over the countryside but the surprise was waiting for us the next morning when we are invited to see an amazing peice of aviation history. A sea plane fighter jet from the Falklands conflicts plus other artifacts so amazing to see thank you soo much to Niel, his wife and little Rex for showing us around it was truly amazing. |We were in a motorhome but there were some very luxurious cabins avsilable on site too. We had a fabulous stay and we would definatly stay again Thank you Mandie and Paul 😊

Absolutely stunning, luxurious lodge, finished to a very high spec and included lots of lovely little extra touches for our stay. We very much enjoyed the hot tub and having the resident alpacas come say hi each day. Such lovely hosts who really go the extra mile, inviting our children to see their plane and being so helpful when we had car trouble.||We will undoubtedly be back! Thank you so much Jo and Neil x

As soon as we turned the corner onto the site. WOW!!! Such a beautiful view. Any photos don't do the real thing any justice . Mornings across the fields are spectacular. The night sky is awesome. We saw so many shooting stars we lost count. Never see that in london. | The grandkids loved the animals so much .the hosts were friendly and warm. The house was perfect for our needs. Cosy comfy relaxing. The beds were really comfortable . Our granddaughter did not get on with her mattress. But it was no trouble at all. A different one was bought over for her. | A great base to explore the area ,fantastic walks climbing .beautiful beaches. We would return in a heartbeat. Jeffrey the Alpaca was so cute. The grandkids loved him.We saw deer most days. Periguine falcons every day .Beautiful sunrises. We stayed in starling lodge..
