Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Very basic site. You’re free to do as you please, pitch up anywhere and no one to bother you. We were able to play music until 5am and no one was close enough to hear it. Showers were hot
Disliked: The owner laughed at me when I asked where the charging outlet was that was advertised on the website. There’s also not BBQs as described on the website. These were some of the reasons we booked this site. The toilets aren’t great or well maintained. It’s also not a 5 minute walk to the nearest pub as advertised, if walking from the entrance of the site to the campsite is about 30 mins, and it’s about 5-10 minute drive so would be much longer walk

Liked: Loved this campsite. Old school camping with fire pits and hardly anyone around it was perfect. Cooked dinner on the fire and slept under the stars highly recommended

Liked: Great little campsite; very helpful hosts; felt very secure.
Disliked: not really a dislike as such - the track to the camping field gets very muddly and slippy following rain fall made worse by lots of holes to get stuck in. Would be great if the "track" could be made a little more 'car friendly'.

Liked: Quiet at night.
Disliked: The spaces were pre allocated and very close together. The campsite was incredibly busy with large groups of young people. The facilitates were horrendous, there was one portaloo for a full campsite of people and no washing up facilities. There were 2 outdoor showers that looked reasonably clean yet we wanted to leave as soon as possible in the morning due to the lack of the toilet and other facilities. Incredibly disappointing stay, and definitely not a campsite for people looking for a nice break away!

Liked: A lot of space around the camp site, toilet was clean & always full of Andrex which is always a bonus. Fire pit & pallets provided certainly helped the experience & 24 hour security with someone on the gates as well as the codes to get through is a huge thumbs up from me. All around Nice experience!

From the manager: Hi Lee, thanks for your feedback. Appreciate it.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Price was very reasonable, portaloo and showers were clean. Secure access via some gates but was tedious to keep opening a padlock when leaving and arriving with not much space to park off the main road while wrestling with the gate.
Disliked: Long off road track to access the camping field which was very tedious to navigate with my car, a 4x4 or SUV would have suited better. Very busy field. Possibly over booked as there were a number of events in the local area and all but one pitch was taken when we arrived in the early afternoon. We noticed one family with children pack up and leave early. We did not stay for both of the nights that we had booked due to the level of noise from the over exited neighbours, decided to leave after one night so we could head home and get some sleep.
