Liked: The view
Disliked: Ground was completely unsuitable for campervans. The field slopes and the long grass hid wet soft ground which my campervan got stuck in. My 3 night booking should not have been accepted. Had to be towed off the field. Left after one night. Very stressful.

From the manager: Sorry that you had such a bad experience, unfortunately the weather is out of our control and we assume that most people realise the ground will be wet in such horrible weather. I’m pleased we were able to help so much by towing you out and trying to make sure we did everything possible to assist you.
Peaceful and beautiful

Liked: Beautiful view, peaceful spacious relaxed no-frills site. Easy to find and close to lots of local areas of interest. Really good value, be aware that facilities are two (clean) portaloos and a standpipe so perhaps not one for those with WiFi hungry teens lol but if you're looking for a wonderful 'away from it all' feeling it's lovely. I didn't try the pub next door but it looks very nice!
Disliked: All good!
