Electric grass pitch
Liked: Quiet location Near river Field for dogs Able to have campfires and wood for sale We were aware of the basic facilities and accepted this before going
Disliked: Too near a main for some pitches Dad to see motorhomes getting stuck in the mud Staff attitude a bit too challenging in their approach Nothing to do in immediate area
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Really sorry you where not happy with your stay, we are working on inputting a shower for the near future, the motorhomes where getting stuck as they where on a grass pitch and we have recently had alot of rain but us as site owners where there getting them out. We did everything you asked us to as soon as we where asked the only time you where approached about anything was when you left a gate open where 8 sheep where grazing which could have easily got out onto the main road we also had to ask you put your dog on a lead as she was off multiple times barking at passing customers not in the secure field where we explained she could be left off and run round.
For a no fuss stop - brilliant

Electric grass pitch
Liked: What a beautiful site. Great location to break a journey. The pitches are great and what a view. We were only here for 1 night but what a find we will be back. So friendly so we wish them all the best. A bonus was a walk by the river and a fuss from very friendly lambs.
Disliked: No showers but we knew about this and hopefully they will be done for our next visit

Liked: Easy to find, basic but everything I needed, friendly staff, lambs and chickens running around, next to the river, level grass pitches, good value for money, good phone signal. Really enjoyed my stay, especially as a female lone traveller, would definitely stay again!
Disliked: No showers but that wasn't a problem for me as I was only there for one night.

Liked: Amazing scenery, lovely level, well tended pitches. Chicken and sheep in a field on site would keep younger children amused for hours Toilets were brick built, well kept and clean with hot water. Lovely deep hand basins so washing was quite easy.
Disliked: The A7 was very close and there was a lot of traffic noise, possibly because of the amount of rain over our stay.
