Liked: Remoteness was nice and with only 3 other campers it wasn’t very busy. Good toilet facilities.
Disliked: There is a wind turbine in the field next to the campsite. It was very loud due to high winds when we stayed.

Liked: The view is superb; fantastic location for walking and visiting nearby villages/towns. A good, level camping area; water supply for boiling water. Friendly hosting family.
Disliked: Take ear plugs, as the nearby wind turbine groans like my old knees.
