There are stunning views of the surrounding hills and countryside from all areas and it is possible to go walking and cycling direct from the campsite at reception we can help with suggested routes, etc.
Ample showers and toilets, indoor wash up facilities and chemical toilet disposal point are provided, all with ample free hot water. Reception provides information on local attractions and things to do as well as a small shop and internet access. A bar is available most weekends in season although this can sometimes be hired out for sole use by large groups.

Conveniently located, lots of space between pitches, clean and tidy David T. (Family with older children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: On a short stay just before August Bank Holiday large camping field to rear only had a few campers so lots of space to find a quiet pitch. Quiet at night in absence of any large groups. Didn't have to queue for unisex shower/sink/basin combos, and seemed to be plenty of hot water Disliked: Not much really on a short stay. |

Liked: Was a very good site, well maintained with nice staff - Toilets/showers cleaned daily and were adequate with lots of hot water. Disliked: Nothing the site/staff could do about it, but the weather. Good old britain, rain on a bank holiday. Could benefit from some kids play equipment though, however, lots of room for them to run around in. |

Liked: staff were really helpful especially when my dog was ill. Disliked: the main field was very wet at one end and i got my vehicle stuck but i don't think alot could be done about this as i think the unusually high amount of rain we have had and continue to have this summer the problem is everywhere! |

Liked: We booked as a group of classic VW campervans for a Hallowe'en party weekend and thought the site was fantastic. We had a lovely flat area to pitch which was handy to all the amenities. Disliked: The rain but they couldn't do anything about that! |

Unfortunately the weather had been totally against us this summer - what summer! We can only cut the grass when it is dry and we have just not been able to get onto it to cut nearly as often as we would have liked. Our camp fields have historically been very well drained but they have just not been able to cope of late - sorry!
