Liked: Loved it. Delightfully quiet, mown and marked pitch with my name on a peg in a wild flower meadow full of birdsong. Lots of helpful information left in an envelope on my pitch.

Liked: The most amazing owner who could not have done any more to make our stay extra special. The campsite is very much back to nature but with the essentials of running water and a compost toilet and is in an absolutely glorious spot in the lovely village of Trent, Dorset. The local pub was fantastically welcoming (even with 2 children and 2 Labrador’s in tow!) and served hearty delicious food.

Liked: Lovely and peaceful location, well out of the way with plenty of room.
Disliked: Could be so much better if just a few easy improvements for example, light in toilet, loo roll, info on area, some basic hand washing facility, cutting of grass pitches, etc

Liked: A really peaceful retreat with lots of beautiful walking places especially with our 2 pooches. Lovely local pub just a 5min walk away. Perfect for hikers we enjoyed just chilling after our walks surrounded by fruit trees.
Disliked: It is defiantly ideal for tents and maybe campervans but not for a motorhome, we managed to find a sort of level ground but most of the area is very unlevel for a motorhome. Ideally the compost toilet could do with hand sanitizer as it is a good distant away from the tap that's only because I like to clean my hands after the loo especially a communal loo. we're lucky to have a area to wash up but for people in tents a basic shelter with a wash away underneath would be perfect. Our motorhome is just over the 6mtr and it was a tight squeeze to get around the corner through the gate, also a 3 point turn to get out of our park up so we didnt damage the apple trees. So a little tweak and it would be great off grid place to stay.

Liked: We love quiet off grid sites, and this was perfect, in fact we had the orchard to ourselves. There is only a water tap and toilet, but we are self contained so not a problem for us. There is a pub within walking distance and lots of interesting places within a short drive. We were met by the owners, who were friendly and helpful and offered local advice.
Disliked: A little difficult to locate the orchard, but a quick phone call directed us to the right place.
