Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Good field for tents, a wash station next to the field and a short walk to the facilities which were clean. It is a fairly peaceful site.
Disliked: Too many sheep in the camping field this year meant clearing the over abundance of droppings as best as possible before putting up the tent.
The male shower cut heat after a few minutes leaving me to finish washing in decidedly cold water. It also did this the last time I visited.
A good site but I can't reccomend it at the moment due to the amount of droppings this year.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Great location, lovely setting, warm welcome with clear instructions. Shower warm and clean, water point nearby camping field. Very quiet. Lodges and clamping tents looked amazing but I had brought my own tent. Dawn chorus incredible.
Disliked: Not so much a dislike but a heads up that the camping field is shared with the sheep and their numerous droppings so keep a stick or spade handy to clear a patch. The sheep didn't bother me otherwise, made for good company and added to the 'wild camping' experience. Only 1 shower per gender so can imagine it can get busy but on a cold and wet April Easter weekend it was surprisingly quiet.

Liked: Location, small stream.
Disliked: No running water for campers, very expensive wood for fires for what you get.
Mainly set up for holiday lodges.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The quiet, the views, the relaxed feel to t he place
Disliked: the complete contrast between the cared for glamping area and the apparently neglected camping field.
The grass was v long and clumpy, therefore very wet.
The gate was a problem to shut/open
The washing up had no hot water
No rubbish facilities nearby.
