Camping pod (hot tub)
Liked: Quiet location .Friendly staff (David). Pod was clean. No problems with checking in. Great that you got a bag of logs for each night. The hot tub was hot and ready to go for our arrival. Nice size hot tub .
Disliked: One shower for the whole site. Toilets were ready for an update and the sink area to wash up. Mattress could have been a little thicker. Maybe a few hooks inside the pod to save a bit of room .

Camping pod (hot tub)
Liked: The pod was clean and comfort table with plenty of space between ours and the pods on either side. The hot tub was clean and set up ready for us on arrival, logs were provided and for £5 we were able to rent a tripod to have a bbq on. The host was very accommodating and friendly the toilets were clean and smelt fresh. Would recommend this site to anyone travelling in the area.
Disliked: Nothing

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked: Fantastic site! Haven’t camped for 28 years and it was the kids’ first time (6yo and 7yo).
It was clean, well maintained, beautiful and easy to get to. The pitches are a decent size and the owner was really welcoming.
We’ll definitely be back.
Disliked: The lock on the furthest ladies toilet stall was a bit sticky. That was literally it.
