Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: An excellent value campsite, with amazing hospitality. There was loads of covered outdoor spaces with seating, ideal for camping in bad weather. Has a nice, clean, hot shower. The camping area is behind the pub, it is flat, well maintained and has plenty of picnic benches to use.
A great place for a quiet stop over on the way to Scotland.
Contrary to the listing info on pitch up, the toilets are always open and the key for the shower are available from 6:30am onwards.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Friendly helpful staff.
Disliked: The steps from camping field are unlit, very steep, with no hand rail.
It's a case of "when not if" someone falls down them at night (or day) to get to the toilet.
High bar prices e.g. £5.75 for a can, yes a can, of Guinness. Best part of £20 for 4 pints of larger.

Liked: Loved the site, access to showers and toilet was almost 24hrs and lovely hosts! Turned up just in time for the hilarious Thursday pub quiz.
Disliked: The kitchen closed at 8pm but wasn’t listed on the listed on the website. Luckily I called ahead so knew to stop at services to eat after 6hrs of driving!
