Excellent side highly recommend for a quiet weekend
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked An amazing little site with great views and plenty of space. The facilities are basic but very clean. Liked that we weren't restricted to pitch size as we were quite a large family group and it meant we could all camp together. Plenty of amazing walks from the site.
Disliked Music from other campers late on the Saturday which seemed to go unchecked.
Also noted this was mentioned in other reviews. Didn't spoil our enjoyment of the site in any way though.

2 bedroom lodge
Liked The place was spotless when we arrived there. Bedrooms was a good size and kitchen was perfect. Parking was right outside the Lodge and with having are dog with us the garden was inclosed so safe for him to run around. There was everything you needed in the Lodge all you had to bring is some towels. Perfect views

Liked Nice quiet campsite. Walks straight from the campsite. Stayed on a lot of campsites that are a lot more money than this one and it wasn't as relaxing as Mandale. Would definitely go again.
Disliked Not a dislike but more of an irritation and aimed at the dog owners. Keep your dog on a lead if the recall isn't good.
