Liked: Cute little find, the animals roaming around was great and the kids loved them and there was plenty of space for them to play and run around. The sound of the stream was lovely to sit by.
Disliked: The toilet block let it down for me unfortunately, only 2 toilets and 1 shower, and 1 sink it just wasn't enough for the amount for people there, especially in the morning.

Liked: Quiet and easygoing site. We loved being setup by the stream and of course the chickens! No strict rules about gazebos and things like that. Very cheap price almost to the point of we thought it was too good to be true.
Disliked: Just one minor point while the toilets and shower were clean and had hot water the site was never more than half full during our stay and there wasn't enough facilities at times (1 male,1 female and just 1 shared shower) but we worked around it.

Liked: Lovely toilet and shower with warm water. Just what we needed on this rainy night. No mirror though so take your own. Sink to wash dishes was adequate but no hot water there Kept walk way to toilets relatively mud free by guiding tape to take cars another way. Owns very understanding and helpful when we arrived a little late
