Electric optional grass tent pitch
Liked This is a very relaxing site … well maintained … owners very friendly… showers and toilets really modern and very very clean and well kept … I will be returning frequently as it’s only 10 miles from my home but I felt like I had been miles and miles away on a little holiday. Would definitely recommend x

Excellent site with clean facilities
Electric optional grass tent pitch
Liked Beautiful location, plenty of space per pitch. Facilities were immaculate and enjoyed the sign asking guests to take good care of the space with provision of the tools needed to keep the space clear. Tap was conveniently close. Hookup worked a treat. Was greeted by the lovely friendly owner who showed us to our pitch and gave us instructions on how best to be oriented to maximise the space for all campers. Was not bothered by any insects - probably the least midgies we’ve ever encountered. Also really enjoyed being surrounded by horses in the nearby fields. Would definitely stay here again
Disliked Nothing would absolutely camp here again. Thank you for a lovely stay

What customers say
This peaceful campsite offers a lovely countryside retreat with beautiful views and friendly, helpful owners. Guests praised the clean, modern shower and toilet facilities, with many noting the good privacy afforded by the site's layout and strategic planting. While the site is generally well-regarded, some minor suggestions were made regarding kitchen facilities and an initial issue with the new toilet block that has since been resolved. The presence of horses on-site was a popular feature.

Great, can recommend.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great layout, three separate pitch areas separated by trees, cosy, close to little town and local attractions, clean, modern showers/toilets. Friendly and helpful owner/management. Would benefit from upgradet kitchen facilities (two sinks with running water outside, drinking water outlet available, but would be nice to have a room with a bin and a fridge for example. This is camping site though so... jus a suggestion

we would definitely stay here again, lovely hosts and nice scenery
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked we loved the scenery. there was also a really nice porsche there in the evening!
we were well spaced from other campers. on our row of 10 there there was only us an one other group and they were opposite end to us. really easy to find and get settled in.
bonus there was drinking water as we forgot ours!
our little red fox lab loved it too!
Owners said we could stay as long as we liked the next day as our pitch was not booked again so it was nice to have the option but we were planning on getting up early and cracking on!
Disliked campers below us were rather noisy at 4AM but not a lot can be done about that.
a nice extra feature would be some
toilet facilities:)
