Unpowered grass site
Liked: The staff were super friendly, the site was clean and tidy and the facilities were great.
The fact that we could hire a fire pit and buy logs was really useful.
The site was really quirky and offered lots of added extras, hot tubs and alternative lodgings.
The park nearby was great. The walk to the park was peaceful and I loved that it avoided main roads so our daughter and dog could be safe.
The view we woke up to was beautiful. Our daughter enjoyed chatting with the sheep!
We had a great time, thank you!
Disliked: Nothing, we enjoyed it all.

Powered grass site
Liked: The small size of the site and variety of pitch/accommodation options. Great shower block, kept very clean and tidy during our stay.
Disliked: Nothing we disliked about the site. The only thing I would suggest would be more hooks in the showers to hang clothes on but that’s no criticism.
