Liked: Limited number of separate mowed pitches, nicely spaced apart so you’re not camping on top of your neighbour. Nice clean showers and washing up facilities. Helpful, friendly owner.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Layout of pitches were spacious and clear. It was clear that the site’s goal was for campers enjoyment and not just a money making scheme. Our host was lovely, kind and respectful and there were a few little touches that go a long way (baby and feminine sanitary products stocked at an on site market).
Shower block was lovely and it was amazing to have a bit of luxury whilst out camping.
Disliked: N/A.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Lovely site. Owner was very friendly, welcoming & accommodating. The pitches were mown into the field so everyone had their own clear, well spaced area. The composting toilets were good-felt clean and were not smelly. The barn was great with showers, washing up area, a little honesty shop and some picnic tables.
Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: Michael is a great host and very friendly. Loved the set up that he has at the Big Barn. He has a little shop in the barn incase you forget anything. Showers are clean. Charging station for your mobile phone or iPad. Toilet facility is unique* but if you want to go green this is the way to go!!
