Hobbit house microlodge
Liked: Quiet and peaceful campsite in a well-designed field. Liked the individual sinks / rubbish bins, one for each electric pitch, and shared between 2 or 3 for each non-electric pitch. Very friendly and helpful owner. Through the double door and the private, secret, woodland glade to reach the Hobbit Lodge - all well-thought out and comfortable.

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: What a lovely site! I received a very warm welcome on arrival from the site owners. Each pitch has a brilliant unique sink set up with bins, each converting antique pails, large bowls etc into a sink. Ingenious, practical and quirky. It’s a simple site with really clean toilets, there are showers too. Overall there is a sense of great care and thoughtfulness. Don’t hesitate to book I’d say 😄
Disliked: Nothing at all

Premier electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (private bathroom amenities)
Liked: The site was easy find using the What3Words reference, and was easy to access from the M5. That said, it felt very much in the countryside and we loved watching the wildlife that lived in and around the site.
The Premium Pitch was perfect for a group: having cooking facilities, hot and cold running water and table/seating made life so much easier and would have been a life-saver if the weather was poor. Also you could shut the gate and keep children contained but still with plenty of room to run around, if you wanted to!
The kitchen was remarkably well-equipped, from can/bottle opener and washing up liquid, to pots and pans.
Hosts were friendly and helpful but not overbearing.
Disliked: Having a hob was great but cooking for a group on two closely set gas rings was challenging - but no more so than if we had brought our own cooking equipment!
There was some road noise from the A road along the edge of the site (even at night, which surprised us), but it really was not intrusive - and that road helps to make the site easy to access.
Beware that the mobile phone signal is patchy/poor depending on provider, so definitely don't count on having internet access.
