*** LOVELY AND BEAUTIFUL *** VERY WELCOMING AND HELPFUL *** shirinecheraghvandi (With friends, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: We came here to lodge as we had a friends Wedding in the area. First thing is that Jane was extremely helpful and offered us the use of a log cabin as an upgrade to camping, which was perfect. Also accommodated friends in the B&B and others camping. Disliked: The fact that we didn't have longer to stay. :( |

Slug tent georgiamclean_ (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: The owners were kind and welcoming. Disliked: If you are into to all things eco and 16th century then this is the campsite for you. I myself have been camping quite a lot and this has been my worst experience yet. We stayed in the 'Pre-erected tent' that is avalible. This tent is terrible, every night we had to take slugs out from the tent due to the ground sheet and tent not actually meeting.Due to them not meeting we also had draft coming in and all sorts of bug and bettles. The gap also let water in and on our last morning we woke up with water everywhere including under our beds. We also had the problem of cooking. We took one gas hob as we knew we had know electricity but the website told us they will provide us with another fire hob. Yet, we could not use the fire as the 'campers fire wodd' was wet. - another let down. There was also the toilets, we read there was a 'tree loo' which stunk but we also read there was a 'normal loo'. This was a lie, the only other loo was a 'flush it yourself' one where you put the water you used to wash your hands down the toilet, this did not flush well and in my view is not very eco as you use a lot more water. Overall the campsite only has 3 toilets none of which are clean or in good working proper manner. Then there is the shower. The shower door does not lock properley so you have to sing or get a member of your family to stand outside on guard, so know one else walks in. The shower is not very powerful and there is only one on the site, which is dirty and not clean. The camp site itself is poorly advertised, it lies. Certain websites mention a 'Charging room' however there is no such thing, they also say a 'games room' this is also a lie. what they say is a 'games room' is a old broken shed with odd chairs with a dart board and no darts - not some bright coloured rooom with games and fun things todo. The campsite is also in the middle of nowhere and is poorly signed, so it is hard to find. The campsite overall is very dirty and not clean, toilets that stink and do not work, no entertainment and a tent that lets slugs and bugs in at night. Me and my family had to cut our holiday in wales short due to this campsite. |

Liked: The field set up, so no cars, nice little areas of mown grass for your pitch and long grass for privacy. Martin and Jane were very friendly providing a cup of tea when we arrived late and with loads of ideas for things we should do. The eco nature of the place was fun with a tree loo and all pretty basic. Disliked: Could have done with a fridge but Martin did find a coolbox and freezer block for us. Also could have done with a little electric to recharge phone but that's probably our fault for having a 3 wheeled car and again Martin and Jane were happy to charge my phone in their house. Impressively noisy cows and sheep - but it's the country what do you expect ;-) |

Overall an enjoyable stay Andrew C. (Family with older children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: A small friendly campsite with nice pitches which are separated by long grass giving you a degree of privacy. Nice views and friendly owners. Facilities were basic (I don't mind this but my wife was less keen!) but at £20 a night it was good value for money. (The organic tree loo is an experience in itself!) Nice that you can light a camp fire at night. If you like small, basic and friendly camping then I would recommend you give this place a go. Disliked: Facilities could do with a bit of upgrading - they are a tad "rough & ready" although to be fair everything was serviceable and we did get a hot shower. Probably not suitable if you've got really young kids. |

Due to the very poor weather the campers where mostly on their own on site, the toilets and shower are checked and cleaned twice a day so any dirt was from the family themselves. it is a small site, not many people so a few basic facilities, we offer space and great views for traditional camping. It is very unfortunate that these campers expected something different than we provide. We provided a smaller tent with sewn in groundsheet which they opted not to use. The groundsheet is large and is normally up the sides to prevent draughts, possibly when they were being attacked by slugs they inadvertently pushed them down as they left the tent very muddy. The wood was left out in the rain. We would ask please that any problems are brought to us at the time as we were not made aware of any issues.
