Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Very nice location in a nice area, the hosts are very nice and since we were in a bit of a muddy situation with the car, they helped us right away. It was advertised there is a portable toilet which was actually sparkling clean. The farm nearby is lovely and it's a nice walk, our son loved it, and so is the playground. The place is near a road but at night it's pretty quiet, and the network connection at least for us was good

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: More than enough room for tent and campervan, pitch size seemed to be unlimited, pitch up where you want on the field.
Disliked: Was large venue tents set up on the next field that play very loud music till gone 3 am. Only one toilet that wasn't well looked after. ( Didn't see any staff throughout our stay ) The field was not flat, had trouble getting out in the campervan, lucky someone else camping pulled us out using there car but owners wouldn't pick up phone. A van was being pulled out by a tractor as we arrived. The field had large tractors tracks all around which were a trip hazard.

From the manager: Sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay, unfortunately the neighbours had a teepee wedding on a few fields away that we weren’t aware of hence the music… this is a one off! Our toilets are cleaned 3 times each day & the whole field is flat! The ground was a little wet due to the amount of rain which can’t be helped !
Very clean spotless.
