Non-electric grass tent pitch (two person)
Liked: Loads of space to camp out tent, great facilities onsite & the goats are a bonus! Great location for day trips to the lakes, would stay here again!
Disliked: Some of the toilets didn't have toilet roll most of the weekend. There's also exposed wiring on the extractor fan on one of the cabins which was a cause for concern considering the moisture that builds up during showering.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: The views and the grounds were all very beautiful. The playgrounds were good although designed for older children so my younger daughter was unable to play much. The goats and chickens were a good addition.
Disliked: The field we stayed on (paddock) was clay soil to did not drain, after a fair few days rain it was very boggy and muddy. Even the few days of dry weather did nothing to dry out the ground or mud. The electricity was off for a day which we were warned about, but we weren't aware this included the showers and water in some of the blocks. Despite the information all stating it is a family site and no noise after 11 this doesn't actually seem to be enforced as several families on our field had not problems partying until the early hours with loud music and shouting.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (two person)
Liked: Upon arrival we were earlier than check in time but we were allowed to pitch up which was great.
It was chucking it down and the site had a room open with table tennis, Jenga and connect 4 so we were able to kill some time whilst the rain died off. When we set up we had pegs missing and a snapped pole, the office staff and handyman (I am assuming his role) were extremely helpful. They sourced us spare pegs to use and someone had thrown out a tent so we were able to salvage a makeshift pole, if they didn’t do this our little holiday would of been spoiled so extra thanks to those two for being so kind.
The outdoor facilities were great, park by the back of the main building was brilliant. A huge field which we would have made use of if the weather had been better! The animals were an extra treat as well as we got to see some little chicks, feeding the goats some grass was lovely too.
We also tried the mini golf, this was a bit of a tired course but it was completely free and we had a good laugh anyways so worth it.
The park on the campsite was perfect for my 7 year old.
The site is on a bit of a hill so the views were incredible, 10/10.
Facilities available included showers, toilets, washing up sinks, a fridge and a freezer. Only part we didn’t try were the showers as we used some off site instead.
For a campsite I would say the facilities were completely adequate. We never struggled to gain access to a toilet as they had 6 separate ones (with a shower in each!). The little huts also had a heated towel rail which was a nice touch, not a lot of space to move around though as the two of us tried to get ready but we managed fine.
Disliked: If I had to be picky I would say that the toilets were a bit smelly at times, not sure if this was due to people not flushing or if there was a sewer problem. I often saw cleaners coming and going so they were clean. I also felt that they looked a bit worn out with a few rusty parts such as the holder for toiletries and trims being loose.
I didn’t notice any bar or food type area which I’m sure I saw mentioned on the website, however we didn’t ask where this was so it could of been somewhere we might not of seen.
No signal on the campsite, which is to be expected when camping. Rated the site low on WiFi for this reason but I assume the accommodation in the house provides WiFi capabilities.

Electric grass tent pitch (five person)
Liked: The staff were very helpful and friendly, there was a lovely little pub on site that opened of a night time to get us out the crappy weather and a pizza van. There was a help yourself mini golf which was a good touch too although it really could do with some tlc.
Disliked: Although the weather wasn’t their fault, the ground was flooded a lot. Toilet cubicles could also do with getting cleaned more regularly and shower cubicle locked didn’t work which led to someone walking in on us in the shower..
