Liked: A peaceful and lovely setting easily found by Google. An excellent, beautifully clean, shower block with easily accessed sewage tank. (You might take that for granted but we have been on sites without sewage facilities!) Thank you both for your hospitality.

Liked: Easy to access location off main road. Very quiet.
Disliked: - Despite being advertised as adults only, on the first night a family with two children turned up. As the owners aren't around to check you in or say hello this went unnoticed. We booked this site over a nearby site specifically because it was adults only. - It's also listed as dog friendly, which is largely was, but on the farm there are 3 off lead territorial dogs that bark every time you walk your dog past them. The smaller black dog even ran up to our on-lead dog and snarled/growled at him. - There was no hot water in the evening and no signage to communicate this which meant having a cold shower after a long day of walking. No hot water in the taps at this point either. It was hot first thing in the morning however. - The bathroom facilities were clean but not well maintained. There were two toilet and shower rooms but only one was working, the other was a construction site. The one that was open, the door didn't shut/lock properly, you had to use a latch. On arriving on Friday night there was two toilets rolls, by Saturday night these had ran out and no one had replaced them, so we had to use the paper towels from next to the sink. - The bin in the bathroom was a Tesco bag for life that was overflowing by the end of the weekend and hadn't been emptied/changed. A lot of these issues would be ignorable if not for the price of the site being similar to others in the area which are potentially a lot better maintained.

From the manager: Hi Daniel Sorry for the late response Apologies for having children on the site it was an over sight from my husband as he had forgotten that site was adult only site so sorry. About the hot water our biomass system went down that weekend unfortunately Unknown to us there was no hot water, however when we found out it was fixed! The toilet block situation has been taken onboard and improvements will be made, however yes it doesn’t not lock by the handle but we have put a latch on which does the same thing, and no you cannot see in the door from the outside! Sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay, however thank you for leaving your honest reviews and it is all taken on board:) Many Thanks Derek & Sheena Cartner
