Liked: Easy to book and pay to stay, got to park close to the river and set up.
Felt very safe as a solo female traveller, close to family so will be booking again. Very friendly site owners. Clean toilets and owners come round on a quad to offer fire pits and wood.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: The owner was very friendly, but respectful and came around every evening to see if any logs were needed.
The field is quite big, so they had two sets of toilets/showers which were kept in a good condition and drinking water just outside the toilet by tap.
The views were amazing.
Disliked: Because the field is so big, they only have one washing up station, near the entrance but not one on the next part of their field.
Showers at the top side were cold showers and the bottoms ones were hot, so there is definitely a difference in amenities depending on which side of the field you camp, which felt a little unfair.
Because of this it felt a little expensive for the basic amenities we had on our side of the field.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: This was a beautiful little find.
The first night we practically had the field to ourselves. (My friend camped next to us)
Such a peaceful night with lots of star gazing. The river is beautiful. The field is well kept.
When we got there, we got there early, the young lad got busy rolling the field to make it flat for us.
The sheep had escaped and was grazing as we pitched, which we loved but the owner was very apologetic when we saw her later. It wasn't an issue at all as we knew was a working farm, so all part of the experience.
The 2nd night was a bit busier, but everyone was respectful and lovely.
There are a few walks which we asked the owner and she kindly got a map for us and showed us the variety of walks nearby.
It was a bit late in the day so we chose one of the smallest walks but even that had some lovely views.
Hopefully, we will be back again and can try some longer walks.
I loved that they came round in the evening to ask if we needed anything for the campfires.
The wash area was a lovely addition, providing washing up liquid and bowls. We always bring our own but handy if you forget.
The toilets are toilets and what you expect on a campsite. However some nice extra touches like handsoap and hand sanitiser.
We wasn't there long enough to use the shower but I think would be enough to have a rinse if you needed if you was ther longer than a night or so.
I love being near water when we camp so was lovely to be by the river.
I highly recommend this place if you get the chance.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike at all.

Liked: Beautiful surroundings & stunning views. The campsite owner was extremely helpful & accommodating - the pitch allocated wasn’t very level so they sorted us a new pitch no problem, we will definitely return.
Disliked: Spiders in the loo 🤣
