Liked: We rang ahead as we were going to arrive late. Mr. Friend was flexible & explained where we could pitch and gave us lots of choice and explained the directions. We had a large pitch, nice privacy. Great views of landscape and nice private hedges and raised banks. Very quiet
Disliked: Very dark at night, could benefit from more exterior lighting

Liked: Really big, open pitches with plenty of space. Lovely view out over the countryside. Charles was extremely helpful and friendly with the weather not being the best. We would definitely recommend this to both couples and families. An ideal location for exploring North Devon or sitting out on an evening to relax. Very well priced for the location and what you get.
