Liked: The owner, Jim, was very friendly and he kept the campsite clean and visited frequently. A lovely campsite that was quiet a view of the surrounding countryside. It was mostly flat with plenty of space. We were travelling with a Tentbox

Liked: The campsite owner is a lovely chap, couldn't be more helpful. Campsite is peaceful and in a lovely location. The fields around the site have been rewilded and there is plenty of space so you aren't on top of one another. Showers and toilets were clean. If you like old school, no frills campsites then this is for you!

Liked: A great, simple campsite. A couple of big fields with plenty of space, and very clean, comfortable shower and toilet blocks. The owner - Jim - is very attentive and friendly and full of useful information about local services. Close to the local village, with shop and pub, and easy to get to local attractions. Compared to other campsites in the area also not too exposed to the wind!
Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: The site is beautiful, quiet and simply set up. Basic showers but with hooks, lots of space and hot water. Clean toilets and the site owner is very helpful and friendly. He obviously takes pride in the place and wants people to have a nice time. Great walks from here and lots of places easy to get to by car too. A Spar not far away. And a pub. Both easy walking distance.
