Owlery camping pod
Liked: The campsite was easy to find, clean and quiet- which is what we were hoping to find. The pod was well laid out with all the things you would need to cater for yourselves for the time there. The welcome additions to the fridge and Easter egg each were very much appreciated. We very much enjoyed our stay and would happily return in the future.

Electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The site was beautiful, the pitches were a perfect size. Had a ladies and a men's toilet a shower as well as a washing up area. The location was peaceful and secluded and a pub 5 minute walk away.
Fred the owner/host was amazing, super friendly even went out of his way to give us leaflets and maps of walks in the area and things to do.
Disliked: Nothing we had a brilliant time.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Firstly, Fred was incredibly welcoming and helpful - which made us feel instantly at home! Lovely peaceful site, very well maintained with flat pitches of generous size. Basic facilities were always clean (plumbed flushing toilets and electric shower in portaloo shells work really well!). We were there over a sunny Easter weekend and although there were several other campers, it never felt crowded and we never had to wait to use any facilities.
We had a nice meal in the local pub, always a bonus!
There's lots of great walks from the doorstep.
We will definitely be returning! Would highly recommend.

Liked: Whole package - a good value pitch with all the facilities you'd need, very friendly and helpful guy running the place (drove home and back to the site just to fetch us a map!), in a charming location. I'll definitely be back, absolute bargain

Electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Friendly owner who was very welcoming and made sure everything was ok for us.
I was apprehensive about the shower but the concept was absolute genius. Portaloo shell with proper plumbed toilets and shower. Hot plentiful water, clean and tidy. Boil water if you'd like hot water to wash up with.
Excellent value for money
Disliked: Nothing. I want to gatekeep this site as it's such a gem but I can't not give Fred his due, he's got a lovely little site here and works hard to keep it at a high standard
