Liked: Lovely small site just 25mins away which was perfect to chill. Water and chemical waste available but you need to be self sufficient which was fine for us. Would need car to get around to places or decamp but we just wanted a chilled weekend with the dogs not far from home.
There’s a Shepherds hut on site as well
Disliked: Working farm opposite side of road to pitch so obviously the tractor noise late night early morning but that’s to be expected so it’s not a dislike but just to let others know. When in the country you expect this.

Shepherd's hut
Liked: The shepherd's hut has been beautifully restored and furnished by the owners and provides all the facilities needed for an enjoyable stay. The hut has its own fenced-off space separate from the main camping area and there is a fire basket outside with chairs and a table. The area is surrounded by trees and looks up a field to woods where there was a carpet of bluebells in early May.
