Primitive grass travel trailer campsite
Liked: Ebene Wiesenfläche mit und ohne Stromanschluss, umgeben von Natur und schönen Ausblicken. Viel Ruhe.
Disliked: Im Bereich der Touringplätze gab es nur äußerst einfache Sanitärhütten aus Holz und Wellblech, mit viel „Lüftung“ von allen Seiten, bei kühler Witterung recht ungemütlich! Nur ein Waschbecken vorhanden, nur mit Regenschutz von oben ausgestattet, ohne schützende Seitenwände. Der Platz in den Toilettenhäuschen ist so knapp bemessen, dass größere Personen mit den Knien an die Tür stoßen. Und für diese Ausstattung 30£ zu berechnen, ist völlig unangemessen. Dafür gibt es auf anderen Campingplätzen erheblich bessere Ausstattung.

Liked: This little campsite is a gem that we found. Lovely quiet site with glorious countryside views. We stayed on 1 of the 4 electric pitches and we had a great weekend away. We stayed with friends with small children as well and all the children loved the play park. The owner was lovely and friendly and we can not wait to go back.

Liked: Views Maintenance of the site Play park Local area Friendly and helpful owners Lots of hot water
Disliked: Not enough showers/toilets Large group turned up mid-week, children were looking under the cubicle doors, large gaps under doors and no-one to monitor this Expensive to rent fire pit (£15 per night plus £12.50 ish for kindling/fire log pack) Soooo many bugs, could not open the fly net to air out the tent as literally hundreds of them crawling all over the walls and ceilings Very expensive compared to other sites Showers drip, toilet roll ran out due to large group and wasn’t replaced which I would expect given the cost and previous campsite experience. Showers and toilets are shacks with gaps in the doors, dripping heads so you can’t get changed without getting wet and very open to the elements Pitch was quite bumpy and not level

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Pretty much everything. Having read previous reviews I was concerned about the toilet and shower situation. Didn't need to be. I counted 4 toilets between regular campers plus a separate posh block for bell tents. They are spread around the site and each had a shower also (which was nicely warm). Play area for kids a little hidden away but we had it to ourselves. Excellent site.
Disliked: A little to quiet of anything, this place deserves to be busier.

Liked: Set in beautiful countryside with some lovely surrounding walks. Lots of wildlife. Pitches were nicely spaced out not piled on top of each other. The shower and toilet facilities were clean however the shower was cold a couple of times and there wasn't enough of them, 2 between 11 pitches we found ourselves queuing sometimes. This didn't have a negative impact on our stay tho. Really is a lovely little site!
Disliked: Our only real problem was the noise on one night. The camp had a no music policy with campers asked to be respectful of others after 10. However the couple opposite with their friends insisted on loud music until way past 11.30, if there are rules someone should be available to enforce them. This was our only real negative experience and it was only 1 night. Could also do with a freezing facility to keep iceblocks cold for those without electric - other sites we've been to have these in the washing up area.
