No em va agradar Here’s a much more direct version that still sticks to your actual experience:

Beautiful location, but a thoroughly disappointing experience

The location and views are lovely, but unfortunately that’s where the positives end.

Firstly, the access really needs to be made much clearer on the website. Getting there involves some extremely narrow, single-track lanes, and this is not something you’d necessarily expect from the impression given when booking. A proper warning would be helpful, particularly for caravans and larger vehicles.

The caravan pitches were okay, but the tent pitches were on a slope, which certainly didn’t make for the most comfortable stay.

The biggest disappointment, however, was the attitude of the owner. The website gives the impression of a fun, relaxed and friendly place. In reality, we found it anything but. There was no warm welcome, no “hello”, and no interest whatsoever in whether we were enjoying our stay or if everything was okay.

Instead, the owner seemed intent on policing us. Every evening we were reminded about quiet time and told there was to be no music. We completely understand having rules and respecting other guests, but the way these were repeatedly delivered was incredibly condescending. We are adults in our 50s and certainly don’t need to be spoken to like naughty schoolchildren.

There is a huge difference between politely explaining the site rules and treating paying guests as though they are incapable of behaving responsibly. Unfortunately, we experienced the latter.

The beautiful setting couldn’t make up for the unfriendly atmosphere and the way we were made to feel during our stay. The website promises one thing; our experience was very different.

We wouldn’t return and, based on our experience, we wouldn’t recommend it.

Em va agradar Nice showers and toilets, plug and phone charger points in toilets, clean site, reasonable nighty rates, water and electric point at pitches, vending machine with toothbrushes and shower gels etc. for forgotten items, fire pit rental, nice views

No em va agradar Too many rules and a 9pm curfew is very unreasonable. The tent pitches are on a slope which is not ideal.

Em va agradar Generally if youre looking for a pitch up and do nothing few days the site is ideal but to say I liked anything is a hard one. Had a dog walking field which we used alot and plenty of space per pitch and toilets/showers where reasonably clean and tidy but thats as far as it goes.

No em va agradar Where do I start, its turn up and pitch up which to us felt very impersonal. Had a run in with another family because they wanted to pitch where we where setting up and kept saying we had taken there pitch because they wanted to be by friends but nobody was pitched by us at all. The pitches are a good size but oh my they are so uneven some of the pitches are on such a slope im not sure how people stayed on them. The male owner was extremely rude, I understand the site rules state quiet time between 9pm and 9am but 9.17pm and we had very quiet music on while playing family games in the tent to hear a very firm and rude 'turn that music down or better yet knock it off all together' and then heard him telling children laughing to keep it down because you only get two strikes and youre off site (these children where no older than 7 and where having fun playing) the next morning we where woken by a group screaming baa at the sheep over the fence at 6.50am literally stood right outside our tent and honestly if youre having kids on site its expected, I wasnt phased by it at all so maybe the quite time rule needs to be revised. The same male owner made my daughter feel extremely stupid in the shop when buying ice cream, she has autism and says what she thinks. Holding the tubs of ice cream she said my gosh these are cold to get a very sarcastic well the freezer is about -20 which was an uncalled for comment in my opinion. While walking over to the dog field myself and my child stood on an extremely large pile of dog pooh which must of been left by another camper, no bins on site other than the main one by the gate so was a pain when walking the dog having to take it right the way down to the main reception gate. The map for the site shows 20 tent pitches with only two male and two female toilets and showers which had people waiting to use with only 7 tents on site so cant imagine the nightmare with a fully pitched site. The dish washing facilities for tent pitches was again only two sinks with very little shelter overhead meaning we got absolutely soaking wet trying to do the dishes.

Em va agradar The site lovely and clean and peaceful

No em va agradar The electricity hic up !

Yes there was information on the booking saying the electricity amp stuff ( don't understand what device holds what usage ) BUT you'd think a kettle would not trip !

It's the first camp I've ever experienced this , and we have travelled all around the country ...and used numerous devices at once !

Had we of known this would happen we would not pay for electricity,, as we and other campers spent lots of time queuing and chatting in the toilet blocks whilst boiling our kettles !

Em va agradar We had a great stay at the campsite, lovely and peaceful & good facilities.

No em va agradar The only dislike was people that can’t abide by the rules regarding the 9pm quiet time and insist on constantly going into their van via the sliding door parked opposite our tent, not the owners fault whatsoever.
