Liked: Lovely, secluded spot.....it's even prettier than photos suggest. Site is unmanned but communication was spot on, giving all key info/access codes etc well in advance and responding straight away to my questions. Site was quite water logged after days of incessant rain and we liked that we were offered the alternative of a hard standing pitch or a refund.....and on arrival at site we liked seeing that measures were being taken to deal with water logging issues for access to site.
Disliked: Having to open key safe every time me or one of my kids needed the bathroom but guessing bad experience has made it prudent to keep (clean and very well appointed given 'basic facility' listing) toilets locked.

From the manager: Many thanks for your kind words. I apologise for the weather but today’s the first day of summer so here’s hoping! 🌞

Liked: The location
Disliked: It is just a field a motorhome was stuck in the mud just inside the gate and there is only 1 toilet and shower and it is outside the site

From the manager: I think you got very upset with exceptionally wet weather which was unfortunate!! We have already made plans to improve the entrance but yes we are a simple field location and we have made the description clear!
Ideal if you like nature and want to get away from it all.

Liked: Lovely garden type site.....really picturesque, and the owners were very helpful, even sending information re. places to visit and things to do in the area. We arrived and pitched up under a tree, plugged in to the electric point and it felt like we were really getting away from it all and it was so lovely to be surrounded by beautiful birdsong! When arriving there is self-check in via secure coded locked gate and there was a shower, toilet, washing machine and other facilities in a secure block, again accessed via secure code lock. After entering through the gate there is the shower/toilet facilities block followed by a gravelled area on the right with facilities such as water, waste drain, and recycling/waste bins and then further into the site are the pitches. Wifi was available but limited to the area down by the shower/toilet facilities but we did not find this to be a problem.
Disliked: Didn't dislike anything..... as mentioned, it was a lovely garden type setting. It did rain on the second day and when we were leaving so as the pitches were all grass, in terms of very wet weather, this may need to be considered when booking.

Liked: Glorious haven of peace and wildlife. Huge, secluded pitches with no disturbances from anyone! Dogs loved it too! Accurate description of facilities, which were perfectly adequate and better than many of a similar price! Owners were very quick to respond to the few questions we had.
Disliked: Elsan disposal facilities!

Liked: Close to home as it’s nice just to get away, but knowing home is just a few minutes drive. Decent sizes pitches.
Disliked: I fully appreciate that this is a no frills campsite however it would have been nice to be greeted by hosts. A little explanation of facilities would have been appreciated as we were new to the site. We didn’t know if there was grey waste or fresh water, I had to keep texting the host. When we did find everything it was all overgrown with stinging nettles & nothing was signed posted. I got a message it was near the big tyres, but there were several sets of tyres!! & it was set back under stinging nettles. We ventured to find the shower it was not welcoming it was in the corner of a storage room, with the toilet the other side. Both were dirty & not cleaned. All the dislikes makes me very sad as this could be an amazing site!

From the manager: Very disappointing that you didn’t enjoy our peaceful site more, however you do need to check terms and conditions. We are a self check in site with contact by mobile, hence no meet and greet as you are informed. We describe a meadow site and there are weeds and wildlife but I think you missed the grey water drain in the driveway! There are water taps as required and labelled. The toilet is communal and in a stable block, described as rudimentary so as to not mislead. It cannot be checked throughout the day as we do not live on site but cleaners are available as per description. We offer good value with all extras inclusive and find this review inaccurate and very unsympathetic.
