Μου άρεσε: Friendly welcome, lots of information about the area given by the owner. Informal atmosphere. Camping ground well maintained with lots of cut grass and level sites to choose from. "Wild camp" feel. Had the site to ourselves. We were backpacking so the addition of chairs around fire pits was very welcome. Basic facilities but that was expected and added to the wild camp feel. Very peaceful overnight with only owls, pigeons and a huge flock of geese making a regular flight for company. Plenty of local walks, but a map, long trousers and boots essential as some are overgrown. Good Pubs and cafes for food and drink, especially enjoyed the Manger and Hennessey's. The Rushbrooke Arms was good too, but was closed for refurbishment initially so we only had a drink there on our way home.

Δεν μου άρεσε: The adjacent little lane was surprisingly busy at rush hour but the owner has planted a lot of hedge trees along the boundaries which help and will improve as they grow. Although a walk back from the manger in the evening encountered only one car.

Μου άρεσε: Very beautiful and quiet place, host was very accommodating.

Perfect for some quality time away from technology and civilisation, a couple of scenic walks in the area, one of which leads to nearby village.

Wholeheartedly recommend it - would stay again!

Από τον διαχειριστή: Hi, it’s a free for all, with no set pitches, unfortunately, you chose road side, next to fire pits.

Many thanks for your review, it’s gratefully noted, to help with future improvements.

Μου άρεσε: Host was welcoming and helpful, site was well maintained and facilities provided were perfectly adequate for our stay.

Δεν μου άρεσε: A shower would be a welcome addition, but by no means a dealbreaker and will not prevent us from returning.

Μου άρεσε: Everything was amazing, the closest you can get to wild camping with added luxury of a toilet, a must for us girls!
Karl met us on arrival and took us to choose our pitch, which was under a beautiful tree, we loved it.
It was so peaceful we couldn't fault the place.
Karl has amazing ideas and ethos, and deserves to go ahead with his aspirations for this remarkable site
Will be back

Μου άρεσε: Friendly site owner whose aim was to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.
Natural environment with lots of recycling and basic facilities as advertised.
Location was a lovely secluded site but within easy walking distance to a couple of pubs & shop/cafe. Walks along disused railway track & around fishing lake close to site.
Fire pits & supplies topped up by owner regularly. Was lovely to chill by the fire pits at the end if the day and do some star glazing.
Constructive feedback was welcomed by owner and improvements were made during our stay.
We will be looking out for their opening dates in 2025 to make a second visit.

Μου άρεσε: As advertised, a basic but lovely secluded site. The owner is very personable and gave us a very warm welcome. He couldn’t do enough for us to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Gave us information on local facilities, which we duly tried out and enjoyed! We experienced a small hiccup with the EHU, which the owner rectified promptly. We were able to take advantage of the fire pits on-site. Constructive feedback was welcomed and some improvements made whilst we were still there. The owner is also planning future improvements. We really enjoyed our stay & will definitely go back when next in the area.

Μου άρεσε: What a fantastic campsite! The pitches were so lovely, and the trees and shrubs made it feel cosy. Our dog enjoyed exploring the area and the walks right from the campsite. The facilities were clean, and you could use the designated campfire setups.
We are looking forward to our next stay here.
