Bell tent
Liked: Beautifully set-up bell tent with all you need. Lovely unspoilt rural views in a peaceful location. Great shared kitchen area with kids toys available (although mine loved simply picking blackberries in the hedges!). Hannah was very friendly and welcoming and made sure we had all we needed. Also gave a great recommendation to drive up to the far end of The Naze (Walton) which was pur favourite beach spot - make sure you visit the tower and Essex Wildlife Trust centre.
Disliked: Nothing!

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The campsite was easy to find due to the e-mails and the signs outside. It was very quiet on the campsite itself, so we were not disturbed in our night's sleep. The kitchenette outside was cozy and convenient.
Disliked: There wasn't any reception to be sure we were in the right place and if we had any further questions.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments and we take on board your views on no reception however, if guests arrive later in the evening it isn't always possible to be on site. Your confirmation email does also provide arrival information and contact details.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Fabulous relaxing stay in the country, rural grassy pitches. Ideal location in the countryside but still 15/ 20 minutes to beautiful seasides with wonderful sandy beaches. Great hosts, spotlessly clean and well equip kitchen. The outside shower was also great with constant supply to hot water. Thank you.
Disliked: Not necessary a dislike but would not advise to go to the campsite if you are intending to use the lake to fish. Lots of attempts but no fish caught!

Bell tent
Liked: What an amazing little place. I loved the Bell tent and the space we had around it. The kitchen was so cute with everything you need. We only stayed for one night so didn't us the shower but it was so quirky. The owner came out and made sure we were settled and made sure I had everything in place for whe I arrived too. I loved every minute and would definitely book again.
Disliked: I wouldn't say this was a dislike. Just a suggestion. On the double bed the pillows constantly fell off the back. Maybe a headboard or something to keep the pillows on the bed would be good.

Bell tent
Liked: It was a very nice site for small children, contained and safe so they could roam around without the worry of cars or busy roads. Tent was comfortable and perfect for 4. Kitchen has all the equipment you need and there are toys and games to keep little ones entertained whilst you relax.

Bell tent
Liked: A lovely peaceful spot to spend some quality time-perfect for trips to the seaside. Facilities ideal for what we needed with ready made comfy beds, necessary crockery etc. The outdoor shower was great fun and lovely and warm. Campers kitchen provided cool box with ice, gas hob and sink. Also some bats and balls and toys/games provided. A friendly mole lived next to the tent with owls hooting overhead. We would love to return for longer next time.

Bell tent
Liked: Our host was so kind to us and went above and beyond what we expected and the site was lovely and peaceful. It was probably about as comfortable as camping could possibly be and though there was no electricity hook up the little barn that had been converted to a kitchen had everything we needed.
