What customers say
This campsite offers stunning views and a relaxed atmosphere, with a focus on friendly staff and good on-site amenities including a bar and live music. Facilities are generally reported as clean and well-maintained. However, many visitors highlight that the exposed hilltop location can be extremely windy, leading some to leave early. Some also noted issues with toilet cleanliness and availability during busy periods.

Liked Loved the whole stay. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. The location is just perfect, the view is so beautiful. The place is clean well maintained, toilets clean and fully stocked. There were live music, local beers and cider. Recycling station and sheltered area. Everything what you would need for an amazing camping experience.

Overall, quite an unpleasant experience. I will not be coming back.
Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The size of the camping site and the view were amazing.
The proximity to areas of natural beauty, shops and options for restaurants/pubs.
I guess the fact that you had a bar and a kitchen on the camping site can be appealing to some people, although I don't necessarily need this perk.
Disliked eally windy campsite.
The toilets were really far away and not sufficient for the number of people camping on the site.
The cleanliness level of the toilets and showers was not the best; the toilets were constantly running out of either toilet paper or soap.
During one of the nights, there was a group of people who continued partying and being loud after 11 pm, despite the campsite advertising a 'strictly no noise hour'. Cars were continuously passing by my tent after 11 pm (I’m not sure if these were people managing the site or those partying).

From the manager: Hello Teodora,
Thank you leaving a review.
The toilets are checked regularly and I'm sorry if they did not always meet your expectations.
However, to say "the toilets" (plural) were constantly running out of handsoap and toilet rolls is unfair, inaccurate and simply not true.
We cannot control the wind, we are high up and it's the trade off for the views. On checking in, this would have been relayed to you with the suggestion to use one of our sheltered fields.
The 11pm no noise policy is not a request, but a campsite rule. If you had phoned the campsite number, the ranger who sleeps on site would have gladly dealt with the disturbance.
As for cars driving around after 11pm, that is a difficult
thing to control, but I can assure you it was not any campsite vehicle, unless it was the ranger doing a final site check at between 10.30-11.00pm.
I am disappointed you did not enjoy your stay.
We will take any fair or valid comments you have made on board and do our best to make improvements in these areas.
Best regards

Disliked Realise that the campsite is not responsible for the weather but it’s a very exposed field, we had very high winds and had to abandon our holiday and leave early because tent poles snapped and tent collapsed.

From the manager: Hi Ray,
Thanks for your review.
Unfortunately, you are right, we can't do anything about the wind.
We do have 2 sheltered fields and this would have been relayed to you when you checked in. We monitor the weather constantly and always advise our campers to use the sheltered fields if the wind is high. Unfortunately you chose not to follow this advice.
I'm sorry to hear your holiday was cut short.
Regards

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Good size pitch spaces. Good atmosphere in the evenings with live music across the bank holiday weekend.
Disliked Few female toilets for size of the camp. These could have been kept cleaner (comparing to other sites visited this year).
