What customers say
Travellers rave about the quiet vibe, ripper staff and onsite brewery. Facilities are mostly clean and tidy, with some chuffed by the surprise entertainment. A few noted patchy shower heat/privacy and minor issues with pitch size/cleanliness.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Fantastic value, great surroundings, brilliant staff, great fun!
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Great place, lovely surroundings, great staff very helpful and friendly. Porta loos on site, always stocked with paper, didn't smell like typical porta loos. Walking distance to village, lovely food and beer garden.
Farmers market was on the Saturday , great to have a wander around. The brewery had a pub quiz later that night too, great fun! Good laugh, locals and campers attended. Well stocked bar, reasonably priced too. Would stay again.
Disliked Pitches quite small considering size of the field. Was unsure where to park the car! We had a tent and gazebo, had to park it outside the pitch boundary. Vehicles could still get thru tho.

Site ground needs improving and larger pitches
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Friendly staff in the brewery . Toilets were clean.
Disliked The camping area was mostly ground covered in nettle and thistle. Feet stung constantly (was wearing crocs 🙃) Tents very close to each other, very small pitch only about 1.5 m apart.( thought tents had to be alot further apart for fire safety) When asked where water tap was, was told there wasn't one. (Apparently one has just been fitted behind the only 2 showers)

From the manager: Hi, apologies you were stung, its the nature of a farm field that sometimes there are some thistles and stingers out there. Also, we did message to say there was a sink behind the showers with water. however, we were aware this wasn't suitable for filling larger containers. Thankfully, a tap had been fitted by this for that very purpose but we were unaware it was done, so omitted to tell you about it. Water is also available from the brewery... Its out first year so still learning so thanks for your feedback

Liked Great location, close to the beach. Friendly staff and friendly campers. The weather helped a lot too.
Disliked The Toilets could have been better and serviced. There are only 2 showers so bit of a wait in the morning.

Liked Everything, was a lovely stay and will definitely be coming back to this peaceful and welcoming campsite. The brewery was a lush feature to this campsite and very reasonably priced.
Disliked We had a shower at 8pm and have a feeling the hot water had run out as it was freezing and would recommend some lighting on the path to the toilets but this is only feedback as it wasn't anything too major :)

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Peaceful, small campsite. One toilet next to the tents to save walking across the field.
Disliked Showers were cold and the toilets needed attention. It was easier to wash up at the tent using a kettle as there was no hot water.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: apologies, showers have been fixed (ran out of gas), keeping more of an eye out now to ensure doesn't happen in the future!
