Milkmaid Meadow Campsite

Likte: What a cute campsite. Really enjoyed the simplicity. Loved the set up of the covered washing up stations, hot water, recycling and even washing up liquid and sponge if you needed.

The shower was brilliant, again hot & clean.

The toilet was really nice for a compost loo! There is a mirror and sink with soap, paper towels and lots of toilet roll. I love the idea of being up high. Best of all men and women have a toilet each rather then unisex.

Pick your own position, no allocation, much more freedom.

Likte ikke: Quite open, not much natural shelter from a hedge, we pitched near the toilet entrance and just had a wire fence behind up.

Very rural, but that’s what we expected.

Likte: Basic facilities but so peaceful and lovely views. Friendly campsite owner... Nice base to go exploring 😊

Likte ikke: Grass was quite long so probably wellies would be better for the wet times.

Thanks so much for our stay

Likte ikke: My only criticism is, I feel the grass really needed cutting for camping, but didn't fully effect our stay

Likte: Area and the owner

Likte ikke: There were a few things i was but miffed about. The car got stuck several times as the field is on a slope and is marshy in places, you won't find a level pitching place (not THAT important I suppose), had to halve our stay due to the exposed nature and type of the field with the AMBER weather warning, informed owner but as of yet not heard from them also regarding my deposit.
I wanted to know if we could move dates we were the only people there. The track in when wet was 4 inch mud.

Likte: Lovely remote location and facilities generally up-to-scratch. I stayed at this site last year and was keen to return.

Likte ikke: Unlike my last visit to Milkmaid Meadow, the main field was unmown and occupied by a few dozen sheep and an alpaca. I assume the field wasn't kept short to feed the livestock but made for a slightly uncomfortable pitch. Trying to get a relatively early night after a long, hot day was difficult since the sheep were often at close quarters and consistently noisy. The same was true early in the morning; before the sun had risen there were sheep just outside the tent grazing and having a full-volume conversation. I understand there was a smaller empty field on offer but this would've had a negligible effect on the noise since it was so close to the main field, and made the walk to facilities even longer. The walks to and from the facilities resulted in our shoes decorated with sheep poo that was hidden in the long grass. Overall still okay value for money, but - considering this site was roughly in the middle tier of prices of otherwise similar sites I booked for this trip - I wouldn't expect to be kept awake by 50 sheep nor walk through their dinner/toilet.

Likte: Friendly helpful host. Peaceful location. Excellent showers and composting toilets. Longer grass aided a comfortable night’s sleep. Also there were sheep to count if you were finding sleep difficult. An enjoyable camping experience.
