Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The views of the lake and the mountains and the animals. I also loved the peace and tranquility
Disliked: Same as everyone else complaints, the toilets absolutely disgusting all full of feaces no flushers, sinks didn’t work no water . Luckily I had my own changing and toilet tent, I’d advise everyone else to do the same take your own don’t use. 3 years is disgusting it’s un hygienic. Just replace them before someone gets ill. £15 a night too much , some cheaper with clean toilets .

From the manager: Hi Kim, Yes we have provided camping for 3 years, but only as a pop-up campsite. Legally, as a pop-up, we are only allowed to open 28 days or 14 weekends a year. 28 days does not justify spending £16,000 on a toilet block. This is the first year we have had planning permission to open for longer and not been restricted to 28 days, but we did not have time to get toilets installed before the start of the season. We will now have to apply for planning permission for a toilet block. It really isnt as easy as you think to set a camping business up. Most music festivals and summer shows find portaloos perfectly acceptable and as far as I am aware nobody has contracted anything more than an offended nose, we did try to check toilets regularly. The sinks in the portaloos are inadequate, so we did provide a second sink outside the toilets and also there is a hand wash basin with warm water in the temporary shower trailer. Kind regards, Deborah.
Fantastic pop up site with cafe. Welcoming and friendly staff.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Great site with the most helpful and friendly staff. Fabulous views. Cafe/bar in the converted barn was great. Tasty and hearty breakfast. Lovely walks, we arrived when the big yellow thing in the sky was shining, so everything looked lush and green. The waterfall walk is a must. Ask at the cafe for directions. Rain followed during the night and the morning making it a tad difficult to get up the sloping field in our campers. Will forward park in the field near the exit tracks next visit, just incase of rain. Overall a fantastic site!

Liked: In such an amazing location, easy to find and set up once arrived! The animals were such a plus, so friendly too. Debby was amazing and helped us locate the 7 falls.
Disliked: Portable toilets as they had not been flushed easily , very blocked. However they were not unclean.

Liked: Nice café, it's a converted barn. They had English breakfasts and lots more.
Disliked: Would of been nice to have a toilet block, porta loos aren't the best

From the manager: Hi, It is our plan to do a toilet block this closed season. We have only been a pop-up for the last 3 years, so 28 days didn't warrant the outlay of a toilet block. We didn't expect to be so popular. Check back next year for our upgrades.

Liked: Really friendly owners and staff , lots of space/ pitches to choose from, bar / cafe facilities on site , everywhere was clean 10/10, relaxed atmosphere, campfires allowed (bring own fire pit). Can also feed the goats using the on site feed from the cafe :) Lovely site can’t wait to return x
Disliked: Would possibly like more benches on each pitch but other than that Nothing! Would return here every weekend if we could

From the manager: Yes we are a basic campsite. We are not on mains and dont have a septic tank for toilets hence the portaloos. We check them several times a day, but it is something we will address in the future. We have only been open as a pop up campsite for 28 days for the past 3 years. 28 days doesn't pay for improved sanitary facilities, but now we have planning permission to open longer we can make the extra investment.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Was a big area with lots of choice where to pitch, the owners were lovely and happy to help with anything. There was a lovely view and could get cooked breakfast in the barn at the campsite. Was a good location and we did an amazing walk then had a short drive to a restaurant for dinner
Disliked: The showers either worked really well or were not much more than a dribble, about 50/50, but this was manageable as there were sinks. Only porter loos

Liked: Allowed fires. The site itself is beautifully positioned with great views. Bar with decent draft choices. Nice uncomplicated camping. The campsite dog.
Disliked: Couldn't pay for and reserve a firepit over the phone. Still got one luckily but it was the last one and it is a big element of our holiday.
