Liked: Great little spot away from the road and walks out of the back of the site. they provided fire pits for a small fee which was great option to have. Lovely shower with under floor heating but only one so I wouldn't like to go if the site was too busy. Good area for washing up area and couple of portaloos. I will definitely return as I like the fact the site was small and quiet. Owner was lovely and accomodating.

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked: Amazing views . Hot clean shower/toilet all be it just the one wasn’t a problem for us. Friendly owners very helpful.
Disliked: Unfortunately woken at crack of Dawn by owners cockerels situated right by camping. No one wants to be woken by that noise every day whilst on their holiday, not very thoughtful. Several campers were complaining. Also hens are let loose in camp field and pooing right by tents, it gets stood in, some people were frightened by the hens. Such a shame this spoilt our stay, if advertised Cockrells on site we wouldn’t have booked here. Paid up front but left early because of the noise.
