Owners were lovely and site was, charming and quiet.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The site was in the main quiet level. It was nice and quiet but it is a working farm, so obviously there was associated noise from that but, it was not something that would bother us. Loved it overall.
Disliked The skip for rubbish was not emptied in the time we were there and it was full and overflowing. We were very annoyed that someone’s dog had left a pile right outside our awning door! We had to clean this up! Not acceptable if you have a dog it should be on a lead and you should pick up after it. The toilets and showers could do with a bit of an update and also an area built for emptying toilet cassettes rather than having to use the toilet.

Nothing negative. This is a lovely site, in a beautiful location.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Loved how remote it was. High up in the peaks. Lovely site, very scenic. Good for dog owners as a short walk up the private road to an open field for off lead walks. I only spoke to the owners daughter, who was a lovely, polite young lady. Facilities as described.
Unsure if it mentioned a fridge freezer available for camping use. That's a god send for campers.
Pleasantly surprised with a couple of young groups of males and females. Both clearly looked to have had a nice time, but were quite and respectful to the families and elders at the site. So a big thanks to them :)
Chicken and duck eggs available to buy. Bring cash!
Disliked Very tight left turn into the field. Me with a van and a 7.9m caravan didn't fair well with the telegraph pole on the right. It caught the rear right of my caravan on the turn in.
Upon leaving, I had help watching, and i had to unhook and push the caravan a little way to them reconnect. If my motormover worked it wouldn't be an issue.
