Some Kind Words

“I visited Chigborough Farm with some friends and had the best weekend! We stayed in the Bell tents which were beautifully decorated, clean and everything we needed such as towels, bedding, logs and a fire pit.

I would definitley recommend this campsite! There is so much to do, the lake is beautiful, a maze, and there's a lovely cafe nearby. I will be returning as soon as possible :)”
