Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Just a lovely site for a weekend stay - Toilets clean, shower was hot and the fire pits were a nice touch, don’t forget to bring some wood for a camp fire! Been here countless times now over the years and the site improves every year. The pub and garden for a few drinks outside or a lovely pie inside is recommended. Staff are great too. Will definately be back
Disliked: nothing at all - perfect for a long weekend stay

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Good simple facilities - now with effective hot shower and even a set of chairs and tables for use. Loads of space, very quiet, just birdsong. Pub is small and very busy but was very welcoming and helpful - excellent food at sensible prices (recommend the bulls head pie served with large portion of chips).
Disliked: only dislike was cost as a single backpacker with no vehicle, small tent, and no intention of doing anything that might infringle long list of site rules .

Disliked: I can't say that there was anything to dislike.
