Jack's bunkhouse
Liked: Staff friendly, facilities more than expected ie folding chairs supplied and a little hot plate. Liked LED Lights in bunkhouse for a bit of variety.Loved outside area as bunkhouse separate to main caravan pitches so privacy and we could have a bbq without affecting others..
Disliked: Didn’t realise steps so steep up to sleeping area, maybe could show in pictures but managed fine!

Liked: Loved the site, it was so quiet. The check in was easy and the little lodge was perfect for us and our dog. It was clean and well equipped and a had a very comfortable bed. Great communication from the owner. It was excellent value for money and we would definitely stay here again.
Disliked: Would have been nice to have had a bit of cooking oil and some blackout curtains over the little portholes where the bunkbeds are.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for you feed back, I will look in to some small covers for the portholes.
Lovely place to stay for a decent price.

Liked: Friendly staff, peaceful atmosphere, accommodation was in many ways so much nicer than I expected.
Good job Jack!
Disliked: Not much to dislike. Lights flash in time with fridge throughout night which did make it a little tricky to sleep!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for the review and sorry about the lights flashing, I will look into this.

Jack's bunkhouse
Liked: Very peaceful and relaxed. Very short walk to a Coop and a local garden centre with a cafe. Would recommend Jack's Den as long as you bring warm clothing in winter. Lovely view. Good walks (on Ordnance Survey Maps download) locally.
Disliked: Toilet I used would benefit from a basin in it.
