Had a great time. Lovely place.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Such a lovely view across the fields. You can have as much space as you need. Very peaceful and sheltered.
Amenities are very clean and tidy with plenty of toilets and soaps
Disliked It does have quite a slope so be prepared to roll.
Quite a walk to the toilets and to get water.
Recommend to friends Visit again
