Liked We weren't able to get to the site until 9pm, Claire was still there waiting to greet us.
Lovely small campsite
Horses, Hens and cats for the kids to see
Facilities were clean, plenty of space in the fridges and freezer to store things as well as two microwaves and Kettle in the kitchen.

Disliked flys were a mare on setting up - but thats what you get when you try set up in the dark and you have a head torch on!!
The locks to the toilets were a little tempromental
There was no phone or internet signal on site until half a mile down the road at the crossroads.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. I'm sorry the lock on the toilet behind kitchen was stiff I didn't Realise, I will put some wd40 on it. The phone signal in the whole area is very hit and miss. Some days I have no signal at all in my house. I've been on and on to Fleur telecom ever since I've lived here, thirty one years, and they say there's nothing they can do to improve the service which is a pretty poor show on this day and age!

Liked Booked here for 2 night initially ended staying for 3. Very relaxing. Being on a motorcycle and limited to what I could bring I made use of the kitchen which was kept clean and the fridge and freezer was put to use for food. The owner was very accommodating and friendly. Would recommend. Great for fishing across the road. 👍

From the manager: Thank you for your great review. I've seen your booking. Look forward to seeing you again.

Liked Hard to find anything to say, nice view of the stars when it was a clear night.
There was a little room off the kitchen with armchairs, probably would have been good in the rain. Chairs needed cleaning though.
Communication was good though, the lady rang and left a voice message telling me how to get to my pitch in case she wasn't around.

Disliked Only one toilet and one shower for the whole site, around 30 people were there when we stayed. Also the shower required a pound coin to run. And there was no toilet paper, although the kitchen had plenty of washing up liquid and sponges.
A lot of wasps nests around the field so consequently a lot of wasps. I know its just nature, but nests in a campsite isn't great.
All in all it felt like a site that had been neglected, with a little care and a bit of creativity it could be a lovely site.

From the manager: My campsite is never neglected. I. Patrol all day to make sure the facilities are clean. It does say on. Pitch up to bring your own loo roll. You texd me to say the shower smelled and was dirty, in fact I was there cleaning when I received your.message. It certainly did, not smell. When there are lots of. Campers especially with children there may be times when a child or even an adult may not clean the shower or toilet after themselves. I simply cannot control wasps. My property covers four acres and is in the middle of hundreds of acres of open countryside. There are in fact two toilets not one. My scores are generally ten out.of ten therefore I find your comments an insult.

Liked This was our second stay here. Only 45mins away from home, but far enough away to fully switch off.
Claire(the site owner) had been thrown off her horse only two days before our arrival, yet she still hobbled around the site, neck brace and crutches, to check everyone was ok and settled. What a woman!
The site is small, with a well equipped kitchen. There’s chickens, a rabbit and horses on site which my boys loved. They even helped feed the chickens.
The toilets are kept very clean(bring your own loo roll).
The pitches are well spaced out.
We originally booked to stay 2 nights, but ended up adding on extra nights as we were having such a lovely time. Claire was very accommodating.
There is a co-op just 5 mins drive away and Sainsburys is in Whitchurch, for any essentials.
Thanks for a lovely break. We will definitely be back

Disliked Nothing!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review and well wishes re my broken neck. Look forward to seeing you again

Liked Great host, great communication and information. Nice few facilities on camp, kitchen and showers. Easy to get hold of and helped when i had a flat tide on my bike. Made the stay

From the manager: Thank you Kenny. I was concerned for you riding your bicycle all the way back to Liverpool and do hope you made it home without further mishap.

Liked Easy to find. Instructions very clear. Peaceful. Great to have kitchen goods, such as microwave, kettle, fridge freezer and a room to sit if needed (nb we didn't use).
Great to be able to book odd nights.

Disliked Only 1 shower and £1 coin required. It runs for 10 minutes, great for some, but a long time if camp full and you're waiting.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. I'm really sorry you feel you wouldn't return. You mention that you didn't find my site child friendly yet most campers do and I strive to make it so. I would welcome any feedback you could give on how I could improve. I have set the shower on a ten minute timer to strike a balance on giving plenty of time to have a good shower, but at the same time, preventing people from spending ages whilst others are waiting. I strive to keep all the facilities as clean as possible by patrolling many times a day.
