Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Everything! The site was lovely, and very quiet. Staff where helpful. Check in was very easy, and we could choose our own pitch. Toilet/shower facilities where basic, but clean and more than adequate. Well worth the money, and we'd definately stay again.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Good pitch size, peaceful location . Nice pub.
Disliked: The facilities for the site very basic and not maintained or stocked regularly. Gents toilet especially not secured to the floor as the securing screws rusted through and snapped. No pot washing up facilities. Grey and chemical waste there but again the very basics and again not looked after. Gave a couldn't care less attitude to the campers. Overpriced especially as they also want you to spend in the pub.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: A lovely place to stay. Pitches nice and large. Not at all cramped. Everyone so kind and helpful. My car actually went flat and the chef Nigel did not hesitate to immediately come and start it. Nothing is too much trouble. Very welcoming.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Loved it. Peaceful and good pitches. The chef had taken over the running of the pub and camping. Very very polite friendly and helpful. The food was really good and reasonable priced. In fact everyone was very accommodating. The shower block was a little tired but clean. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: The site was very private and very quiet. Booking in was easy and the lady very friendly. Level pitch. Wild rabbits were running around the site.
Disliked: There is no WiFi signal on site at all. The toilet block was very basic, the doors didn't lock in ladies toilets and it wasn't very clean. Very loud music coming from a neighbour.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Great Pitch on a fairly small campsite, with a nice feel and good location for access to the forest of dean and wye valley as well as good local walks. We had a superb Sunday roast at the Blacksmiths Arms, the pub landlords and locals were really friendly and helpful.
Disliked: The toilet shower block is quite small and basic but ok for the size of the campsite
