Non-electric hardstanding campervan pitch (small)
Liked: Perfect quiet place to spend the weekend. Loved the eco facilities, the welcoming atmosphere, idyllic woodland and the abundance of birdsong.
Disliked: Nothing! The only thing I disliked was how short the stay had to be but that was nothing to do with the site or host.
