Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: A lovely site, Ed and Jane were both very friendly and welcoming. Pitches were well maintained, with a few different levels to choose from depending on your preferences. On-site facilities also well kept, we were on the far end of the field and it was still only a minute walk to the loos etc. Drinking water, toilet block, showers all provided free of charge, the water pressure/temperature was great! We hired a fire pit for £10, which came with all the supplies we needed, which we felt was a very good deal compared to most sites that offer them. Plenty of wildlife around, we arrived to a buzzard and kestrels hunting, some lovely song birds, a curious family of sheep, and we even spotted an owl in the evening!

Liked: We love this site. Great view of Thorpe Cloud. The facilities are basic, but that's how we like it. Limited to 25 pitches, making it relaxed and quiet. Ed, the farmer is friendly and helpful. Will go again
Disliked: Was wet most of the week and some parts of the site around the toilets can be slippery

Liked: Ed & Jane are lovely campsite owners! I got a parcel delivered to the site and when it went missing, Ed was very helpful in reaching out to neighbours and getting it back for me! The campsite is gorgeous with stunning views and loads to do around!
Disliked: It was only the weather that made setting up & taking down harder, everything else was great 😊
