Gill Head Farm

Me gustó: Overall a very lovely campsite, small but not compact. There is at least 4 fields for camping and there were a selection of pitches available including completely next to a small stream. The bathroom blocks were all clean, tidy, well maintained, incredibly pleasant, close to each area and in large quantities. The lady who greeted me was very nice and laid back, there was a small shop with the basics needed on a daily basis. There is also a good children's playpark next to the washing up area, the communal area (with a large fridge, freezer, sofa's, tables, books and WiFi), and the discreet waste disposal areas. The views are spectacular with mountains surrounding the pitches and then a sky full of stars at nighttime.

No me gustó: Pitchup advertise this as having parking next to the camping pitches. If you camp next to the river, there isn't parking next to your tent (there's a slop down to the stream/river). If you camp in the fields you can park near to the tents, the cars need to be on a hard standing car park area but the camping fields are around the car parking area so you could pitch up next to the car but this isn't guaranteed.

Me gustó: We loved the amenities available on site and found the showers to be a great temperature and very clean. I super friendly welcome and the entire site was so clean. Despite the heavy winds and rain this didn’t dampen our experience. The communal area was a god send and was so helpful when making breakfast and hot water bottles to keep us warmer in the tent.

No me gustó: We would have preferred to park next to our tent pitch like we’ve been allowed to on other campsites. But this was a very minor issue and we managed to get way up and had everything we needed in our tent.

Me gustó: Lovely and quiet Very clean facilities (apart from river) saw one person at reception when we arrived who was nice.

No me gustó: We were by the riverside with a non electric pitch. The river had rubbish in it and didn’t look pretty at all. You have to leave your car up a hill which when you are camping with lots of stuff becomes a chore to walk up and down. Cannot get any WiFi at all there so if you needed to make a call or people are trying to call you you then have to walk 5/10 mins to reception to make it. Not a problem if you don’t want to speak to people.

Me gustó: Beautiful farm location, peacocks, communal lounge for WiFi which was warm and comfortable with kettles, toasters, tables, sofas and chairs

No me gustó: WiFi not reaching the van which can be a bit annoying for older children in the evenings when they just want to relax

Me gustó: lovely views, super friendly and helpful staff at check in. It has a relaxed atmosphere, our dog was welcome and we were able to light our stove and have a cosy evening enjoying an early spring camping trip. The facilities are clean and the water hot which is great after a day on the hills, and the pub is about 10 minutes walk away. We will revisit this campsite x

Me gustó: Camping staff and the view.

No me gustó: The camping was very close to a big road, so we could hear cars most of the time.

Me gustó: Excellent facilities, near main road as this was a stop over on way to Highlands.
Will definitely come again and would recommend.
Excellent clean facilities, hot showers, cannot fault what is provided. A pitch for everyone, my sons were travelling in land rovers with roof tents and awnings and loved it, they stayed for 3 nights.

No me gustó: A couple of things important to me, the details on PitchUp say that parking is next to accommodation, parking is in designation spots (I understand why, grass maintenance and views etc) but I have a dog that sleeps in my vehicle and fixed cooking appliances in my small camper (no campervan spaces left so booked a cabin) it is something i look for when deciding where to go, it was a minor inconvenience as just for one night. I did try to call to ask for a possible move to be nearer parking but no answer. Now I know the site, I will be specific when i next book if a cabin is needed rather than hard standing.

4 or 5 small dogs off lead, without supervision, not the fault of the camping site,
