Paddock electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Welcomed on arrival to be taken to output h with fabulous scenery! Lindsey was extremely helpful during our stay. The site facilities are perfect and clean. Shower lovely & hot. We loved it so much decided to stay another night. Would definitely recommend for families. Pitches great size. Would recommend pitch 7 or 8 for campervans, has amazing view of a lake.Puctures do not do this place justice. Would recommend using the hot tub which you can hire for an hour with a lovely cold bottle prosecco! Again with fabulous views. I would say this is one of the best campsites I’ve ever used & we plan to come back.

Liked: The view is breathtaking. The facilities are so well placed, always clean. So refreshing to have such a peaceful site with such a welcoming atmosphere. Lindsey and Nic are amazing hosts, so accommodating especially helping to wash our very muddy dog.
Disliked: Only improvement I could possibly think of is hand dryers for the toilets.
