Liked: Lovely smooth field of close cut grass with a slight incline. Easy booking. Check in and out via text. I booked a fire pit and received a car wheel full of split logs, kindling and fire starters & 2 blockes to stand it on. Shower units (cold water only) and a row (8?) of porta loos, which were immaculately clean near the top end of the field. The views from the site are stunning, with red kite swooping down looking for bbq left overs. Easy access to miles of walking of cycling, or just sit around and chill. It's a quite site so you can just relax and enjoy the surroundings. Generous pitches so not on top of you neighbours.
Disliked: Not a dislike really but would be nice for some of the toilets to be down the far end of the field. I guess logistics make this impractical due to ground conditions sometimes. Star ratings accommodation is your choice, child friendliness- it's a field! Facilities, toilets- I've covered that. Wifi, I had 4g on EE & good service.

Non-electric grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Location was beautiful, the porta-loos were mostly clean and people on the campsite respected the rules (one party were playing loud music but did stop around 10pm)
Disliked: Price. For what was on offer, (porta-loos and cold water showers) the £25 a night for a tent pitch did feel a bit steep. However, it appears that's the going rate for tent pitches nowadays.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: So glad you enjoyed your stay George. Exactly as you say it is the going rate these days, but also £25 per pitch is the peak bank holiday rates, our pitches are £20 per pitch when not booking for a bank holiday. Worth noting that the pitch also does include up to 4 people.
