Liked: The site was easy to find and allowed late entry. Very affordable and seemed delightful. The host, Claire, made sure to wait for us and explained where everything was and had a sign for our pitch. The amenities were very clean and in good working condition, were extremely accessible and cleaning supplies were available to clean up after ourselves. There are two toilets. One shower which is on a meter approx 10 mins for £1 coin. Claire said she has change if you didn’t bring any money. A washing machine. A fridge freezer and freezer. A kettle. Hot and cold taps indoors to wash up and scrubbing brushes. A cold outdoor tap. There were chickens and a rabbit near the tent pitches for our toddler to chat to and enjoy watching. There’s a little lounge indoors with sofas and books, emergency information on a board, there’s benches and chairs outside and a table. Claire was readily available if needed and she was extremely kind and friendly.
There was not much phone signal, no WiFi that I knew of- depending what camping trip you prefer this is either perfect or terrible! For me, it was perfect. I love to get away and switch off when camping.

Liked: I had the pleasure of staying at this charming campsite. The journey to the site was a delightful, winding through picturesque country lanes, lined with vibrant greenery. The location is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.
Upon arrival, I was immediately greeted by the sight of horses and the stables, which set a peaceful tone for the stay. Claire, the owner, has thoughtfully set up a fully equipped kitchen, lounge area, and separate toilet and shower facilities within the stables, offering a comfortable and homely environment.
The camping area itself is quaint. What really stood out, though, was Claire's attention to detail. She made sure to place campers thoughtfully throughout the site, and I was fortunate to be situated at the very end, where I could enjoy the quiet serenity of the surroundings. The scenery was idyllic, and peaceful. I even got a glimpse of the constellations at night.
The fellow campers were all friendly and respectful, which made for an even more enjoyable stay. Above all, Claire's hospitality was second to none. Her warmth and care for her site and guests are evident in every aspect of the experience. This campsite is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, offering a peaceful retreat in nature. Highly recommend!

Liked: The peace and quiet, beautiful site. Nothing to much trouble for owner. Kitted out kitchen is perfect, no cooking in the rain here. Just take your little cooker into kitchen that’s got microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge. Even washing up liquids and tea towels. Claire has thought of everything bless her. Walk in shower room with toilet and sink. Ideal for those with limited mobility. There’s also toilet and sink next to kitchen. Mobile data is best in stable yard but you go away to leave this at home…. If you love horses/ponies Claire has 3 beautiful girls..

Liked: The facilities were clean and the grounds were spacious. The owner seemed lovely.
Disliked: After spending £70 on a pitch I was quite taken back that you had to put a £1 in a meter for a shower I would have thought that would have been in the price. Location was ok but a little out of the way from anything.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. On pitch up it clearly states how far.my camp site is from shops and pubs. Five Minutes drive. The beauty and benefits of site is tranquility. There are sites next to pubs etc but the down side is there may be traffic noise. I'm sorry you felt £1 was too much to pay for a ten minute shower. Many camp sites charge the same as I do but do not offer a fully equipped kitchen with hot water all day and free use of fridge freezer washing machine kettles and microwaves.
