Henbant Permaculture

Stayed here in our van for 3 nights. Cool place & I love the concept but it was let down by the facilities not being cleaned while we were there. I got in touch via text and email to let them know but never got a reply. Fine for a tenner a night but for £30 it’s a bit of a rip off.

Thankyou for sharing your beautiful farm with me this weekend. I stayed in the cabin, the views were amazing and the atmosphere so relaxing. I wish we were near enough to buy from your market garden each week.

It's a magical place and really well though out throughout 🌿 there's a well stocked farm shop with everything you might need while staying... The accommodation is really quirky and well done, it's a rural site maximised for anyone to explore and enjoy. Camping options are varied, you can have fires which is great and there's plenty of privacy. Toilets are plentiful and they're composting which fits in with the ethos really well.

In terms of views, I’m not sure there can be better. The farm is set at the perfect position to get the most of the sunset over the sea. It truly is breathtaking. Sadly, that is the only positive that stands out in reflection. We found the composting toilets were not being cleaned or restocked. There are toilets nearer the farm shop but in the middle of the night this is a long enough walk to not be feasible. Keeping loo roll, hand soap, and a spray disinfectant available is not a big ask but it stands out as not at all hygienic when a place doesn’t provide those things, especially considering large groups of children come for the forest school and use these toilets, two adults camping don’t really want to share with 12 kids if there’s no way to clean down surfaces first! We are lovers of wildlife. Livestock isn’t quite the same thing. Whilst I love cattle and live in a rural community with livestock all around me, I did not find it very amusing to awake one morning with cattle running amok in the campgrounds. This included a bull with absolutely massive horns, well over a year old and certainly way too big to be allowed to walk amongst campers. Nobody informed us this would be the case, it felt deeply unsafe especially as they are attracted to burned out fire pits meaning there were 2 cows and this bull 2 meters from the entrance to our tent as a surprise. Again we are not squeamish about livestock, and with my knowledge of livestock I know this was an unsafe situation. Add to this that from that day on there were massive piles of sh*t in the campsite nobody was interested in moving, that definitely turned me off. We also found it shocking that near the farm shop and the house, the dog is left to do its business all around the hard standing, and most notably in front of the entrance to a kids play area. Not a case of like, that’s “just” happened and nobody has got there yet, but multiple droppings left to fester in the open air. Another dog on site is “free range” which, in this context, means it’s left to wander, including around the campsite. This dog lunged at our dog when we were asking a volunteer to keep it away from our tent just after it pissed on the tent flap. The overall attitude from the two workers we talked to was the dog was “free range” as if that meant it was not their problem. There is an open kitchen where a person or group could cook together if they chose. The coffee machine coffee tasted like sawdust, as if it had been there for months. Washing up was its own experience. There is a wash sink provided in a space where they milk cows. Several smelly used rags were scattered about and remained in place for the entire week we were there. A bit of disinfectant spray and fairy liquid was available, alongside a large stack of dirty dishes which also remained in situ for the week we stayed. We are not preoccupied with cleanliness or sanitation or hygiene, however the distinct lack of any of this means we were not completely comfortable staying nor would we recommend it to anyone, and hopefully the farm considers this feedback constructively. It’s clear the camping is an afterthought, and a way to boost income with very little consideration for the campers themselves.

We arrived a week ago, in this magical land. The owner of Henbant are lovely, the people on the site are really friendly, the little shop have everything you need and amazing vegetables. And the wooden Yurte is a unique and magical place. Lost in the middle of the wood, we had the impression to be in a Real fairy tail. Thank you for this experiences we will for sure come back ! 🌻

Great place to camp really enjoyed My stay the hospitality is honestly second to none I'll definitely be back Thank you Richie

Absolutely great place to stay for people looking to relax, unwind and switch off for a bit. Such a cool accommodation in a beautiful setting. Loved cooking meals there in the basic but efficient kitchen. Very comfortable bed and great log burner. Farm shop is a great option and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. They even gave us a lift to and from the bus stop. Be aware it is super muddy in places so you'll need wellies and the compost toilet is maybe 50metres away down a muddy path so bring a headlamp. For fans of watching birds, wandering in the forest, reading, doing nothing and living the simple life this place is idyllic and ideal.

Lovely spot to pitch a tent for the night; sauna alone is enough of a pull, but great views and a real good vibe with the farm aspect makes this a fantastic stay!

The veggies are absolutely delicious!!!! So fresh, so beautiful and clean. We just started the weekly box and very happy about it.

Matt and Jenny and crew are welcoming friendly and the farm is an oasis of peace and tranquility. No horrible chemicals just beautiful veg very happy chickens and cows and beautiful accomodation. Fantastic farm shop. fabulous place to hang out .
