Electric grass pitch
Liked: Friendly and convenient for us. Quiet and rural.
Disliked: Basic. Toilets not great. Walk through field or wet ditches to toilet. Dreadful lane to get to the pitch. No wifi code.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: The site is basic and it is a little walk to the toilets.
The wi-fi code is available in the office and displayed on the campsite.#
The weather had been poor, hence the mud.
Most people enjoy the rural nature of this site.

Electric grass pitch
Liked: EVERYTHING! Sharon and her team were lovely, responsive and accommodating.
Lovely pitch, level ground. Easy to find. Amazing views! We had such good weather that we opened the van backdoor, watched the horses and the sunset. It was so quiet and peaceful, it felt like getting away from the world.
The facilities were very clean, which is especially impressive when it's a working Equestrian centre.
The facilities were NOT far from the pitch. I don't understand other reviews saying that they are, when it's a short walk away. I've definitely stayed at pitches where the toilets are much further!
Wifi at the pitch was good. Something unique to offer, as there is a router by the campsite.
All the horses looked very well looked after and were sweet, they enticed me into a riding lesson. I had a 1-1 with Sharon and learnt a great deal. Very knowledgeable and a kind teacher.
I would definitely visit again, both for camping and a riding lesson.
Disliked: Not being able to stay longer (personal life commitments)!

Liked: the peaceful surroundings, watching the horses and ponies grazing, listening to the birds. Access into the site was fairly easy, we were guided onto site after booking in. My daughter is very keen on learning to ride so I booked her a lesson during our stay. There are a couple of nice country road walks and the views are beautiful. Soft grass pitch, toilets were clean as were the 2 shower facilities, washing machine and dryer in one of the shower rooms and a sink for washing up.
