What customers say
A peaceful, tidy spot by a lovely lake. Staff are friendly, pub grub's great! Pitches mostly level and roomy. Toilets/showers are a bit old and could be cleaner/more of them. Minor sign and WiFi issues noted.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
All in all a great little stay, would definitely use again
Powered grass site
Liked Location, lakeside views, staff were more than polite and helpful (I had toothache one 1st night and the ladies in the pub gave my partner some salt so I could have a mouthwash) food in the pub was absolutely delicious and not a bad price either, the pitch size was more than enough, facilities were a short walk and well lit, pub garden really lovely, is only a little campsite but a great atmosphere, we booked for Monday to Friday but as it was bank holiday my partner asked if we could come down a day early which they shuffled a few things and were able to accommodate us.
Disliked The shower and toilets weren’t the cleanest so could be improved with a bit more cleaning and the doors don’t all lock very well. As there are no shops local the pub could probably benefit from maybe selling a small selection of groceries like bread, milk etc.

Good value for the money we paid
Powered grass site
Liked The campsite was small, quiet at night, you could choose if you wanted to eat at the pub or do your own thing, ideal if you like peace and quiet and relaxing, if this does not meets your expectations, then you should choose a campsite that has more facilities, that also comes with a higher price.
Disliked The only drawback, would be the toilets and washing facilities , the doors on the toilets was a bit awkward and sometimes got stuck, the washing up station was ok but needs to be brought up to date as well as the toilets, I do understand that it would come with a cost , but I would be happy to pay a bit more, if the facilities were better.

Friendly staff but wouldn’t return.
Powered concrete and grass site
Liked Owners/staff of site/pub friendly and welcoming, right next to the lake. WiFi was good, free and worked all holiday.
Disliked The site is very crowded and pitches are very small, you are ontop of each other, we had two tents pitched less than 2 metres from our caravan. The facilities (toilets & showers) are dirty and in disrepair, the toilets and showers have toilet roll stuffed in holes in the door.
To get to the toilet and showers you have to walk through the pubs beer garden we had a lot of comments and stares from its inhabitants it was uncomfortable.
