Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Nice small quiet pop up location.
3x gravel pitches with hookup.
Grass pitch was good, fairly level in places, top of the field was more sloped.
Quiet (earbuds required though, cockerell at 5am!) and lovely surroundings, pub very close.
Toilet was fine, but a short walk over rough cobbles so wouldn't do that during the night (torch also requires). Plenty of hot water to wash up etc.
Disliked: Shame no shower, but at this price it was still a bargain.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review
Unfortunately cockerals have their own inbuilt alarm clock 🙈, sorry that they disturbed you

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: We stayed at the camp field at Ivy House Equestrian Centre. Joan the host met us on arrival and we found her to be friendly and helpful. The site facilities as advertised are basic but they are clean and well maintained. The camping field is flat and only big enough for a few tents, which we found ideal. You can also park next to your pitch which made setting up easier.
Our time here was relaxing and the nights were peaceful.
There is also a pub just a couple of minutes walk from the site that serves great food and ale.
We enjoyed our stay here and would visit again.
Disliked: Disliked nothing because when we made our reservation we were aware of the facilities on-site.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Friendly owner, met me when I arrived and showed me round. Lovely clean (proper) toilet with hot water and washing-up room next door, as well as drinking water on tap outside. Very dog-friendly (even when my dog decided to wander into the farmhouse's kitchen!).
The site was lovely, with the horses (and foals) in the field right next to us, so close I could hear them munching the grass. Free-range chickens wandering about and cows in a nearby field, too. The local pub was a 2 minute walk away and they had an acoustic night on the Saturday night when I was there.
Great base for lots of fantastic walks and visiting the pretty villages nearby.
Disliked: Not really a dislike but just be aware that this is a working farm and cows and cockerels like to wake up quite early!
