Primitive cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked Booked at the last minute but what a lovely find. we only stayed the one night but would have loved to have stayed longer.
Perfect for the dogs as just out the gate to the woods.
The hosts were so lovely too. We would definitely recommend and stay again.
We have only given a 5 for facilities as there were no showers or washing up area. We have a campervan so have our own. 😊 Thank you

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Absolutely fantastic location, welcoming and very friendly hosts.
Disliked I really liked the hosts and the location, but they unfortunately have terrible neighbours. The dogs next door barked all night long and somone was riding a mopped back and forth into the late hours.
Cannot blame the hosts at all, feel bad for them having to deal with such terrible neighbours ruining everything for everyone.

From the manager: It is unfortunate that, sometimes the bye way is busy but not at night! I am sure we are not the only location where dogs bark, indeed we encourage dogs rather than children...... thanks for your comments.
