Powered grass campsite (adults only)
Liked: Beautiful scenery. Clean facilities. Great pub down the road. Lovely walks from the site. Helpful owner
Disliked: There had been a lot of rain so the ground was very soft and the track extremely muddy. We camped near the entrance as we’re afraid we’d get stuck otherwise

Primitive grass campsite (adults only)
Liked: Decent facilities , nice views from campsite. Although we didn’t use them it was nice to have fire pits available and the picnic bench was a nice touch. There were lots of walks directly from the campsite so you not need to drive anywhere. A good pub a short walk away was definitely a positive! The fellow campers were all very nice and there was no rowdiness. Ideal for a longer weekend as there were so many places to walk.
Disliked: Facilities not quite as nice as we have seen but wouldn’t say they were bad. They were clean . The entrance and exit was a slight issue as it had rained quite a bit and was muddy.

Primitive grass campsite (adults only)
Liked: Great campsite, plenty of space between pitches, nice and quiet (being adult only site), outstanding scenery, spot on facilities. Would recommend the pub, food was lovely.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike. Option to purchase firewood when owner unavailable would have been the only thing missing for us.

Powered grass campsite (adults only)
Liked: Nice location and fantastic Pub (Pack Horse Inn) within easy walking distance. Good pitch with easy electric hookup.
Disliked: The amenities were very basic. Only two showers in men’s and same for ladies. Showers were very eratic scolding to cold with very caustic instructions on doors. No hot water for washing up pots. No service mentality on site - you felt it was always your fault. No good information about local pubs etc about opening times etc.

From the manager: There's always a few reviews like this. We get about 1500 bookings per year and maybe 3 reviews complaining that we provide what we say we will. Amenities basic - Correct, all presented and as pictured/described in the site listing. We have two more showers than we had last year and they manage just fine with the numbers we have on site. Showers fluctuating hot and cold - the "Caustic" instructions explain clearly how to use the showers. No Hot Water for Washing Pots - We know, we specify this in the listing. It's all there in the listing. No good information about local pubs etc - you obviously didn't read the morning welcome text which I know that you received. This contains loads of info on local businesses and opening times of the local pub. No service mentality on site - I spend as much time as I can on site. I'm down every morning and every evening at a minimum to clean out the toilets and showers, empty bins, re-stock loo rolls, cut the grass, attend to any maintenance and try to introduce myself to guests (that's around 3000 people per season, some people get missed) If the weather is rough I'm on site all day to make sure everyone is OK. If the weather is glorious and sunny I sometimes step away a bit because... well its a field at the end of the day isn't it. I'd also add the cheapest field around by far when you consider the amenities that you get, location AND a hookup. I think maybe you'd be better off at a more commercial site. All the things that you've disliked you probably could have avoided by just taking a bit more care and are readily available at more commercial setups... along with the price tag and location next to a main road. Kind Regards Steve@CC
