Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked: We loved how much space we had.. We were able to park wherever we wanted. The grass was well maintained amd mostly level with the help of wedges.. The views are stunning.
A big plus for us was the site allows fires ( in a firepit) You can't beat relaxing by the fire.
The owners Louise and Dean are absolutely lovely and couldn't be more helpful.
They allowed us to take our time packing up the next day which is a God send when you have kids.. We can't wait to go back. It was so peaceful, just what we needed.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Liked: The site was really quiet, it had no toilet / shower block or EHU - just as we wanted. The owner (Louise) greeted us when we arrived and showed us around the site. The pitches were spread apart - you can park anywhere you want in the field. Some parts are sloping but we had no problem finding a flatish part and with levelling blocks had the motorhome level in no time. The views were amazing both at sunrise and sunset. Louise brought over some rosemary when we arrived and a cucumber and basil during our stay. There are lovely walks around the site - we saw three deer on one walk. Will definitely be back.
Disliked: Nothing
