Liked: Friendly staff, spacious pitch, very clean and tidy, quiet and the views were amazing.
Disliked: Difficult to get in touch with warden out of hours, phone number says to ring on WhatsApp and then WhatsApp says the number isn't registered. Minor issue though really, I'd definitely consider staying again!

Liked: The location - gorgeous views across to the mountains.
Disliked: Facilities - only 2 showers and 2 toilets for females for the whole of the site Pitches - very close together, would hate to be there when it’s busy. We arrived at just before 4:30pm, which i didnt think would be a problem as on site it says you can ring if you arrive after 5pm and someone will come and show you your pitch. Apparently they’d been ringing me and left a message as they didnt think i was coming. The pitches are extremely close together, so it would be awful when it’s busy. There was no lighting up to the toilet blocks, which are a good walk from pitches. The toilet/shower blocks looked tired. There are only two toilets and showers each for men and women. The shower barely got above Lukewarm even when turned fully on. There were hooks missing so minimum space to put clothes. The toilet flushes were broken but just about worked. There were signs and a dog bin for cleaning up after your dog but even though we were only campers there, someone had let there dog mess right in middle of the path to toilets. The one rubbish bin for the pitches was full and no idea when it was due to be emptied. We were given some leaflets about the site and farm, we noticed on way home that apparently there was a cafe on site but we weren’t shown it or told about it
