Non-electric grass tent pitch (riverside)
Liked: Location of site
Disliked: Our riverside pitch R12 was close to the two composting toilets. We could smell urine most of the weekend which was really unpleasant as you can imagine. There were large party groups in the other pitches and the large number of people must have been to much for the two toilets to cope with . I will not be staying again unless I can guarantee I can book a pitch further away from the toilets next . ☹️

Liked: I like the tidiness, the care taken by the employees. I also like how the river pitches are clearly marked and divided. I also like the fireplace and the benches by the river. A nice place to sit and and enjoy nature. A nice little place hidden in plain sight. I will definitely recommend and return. Very well done!

Liked: Beautiful site. Great pitches. If I'd had company we'd have had that log pit fired up. This was part of a bikepacking trip and you've no idea how please we were with the benches at the pitches. Perhaps not strictly 'wild' but very, very welcome
Disliked: The walk back from the road to camp in the dark was pretty spooky. And, I'm a huge hairy Glaswegian
