Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The place was absolutely perfect! So peaceful and beautiful, and the facilities were lovely and clean. Highly recommend this place if you want a quiet stay in nature, with beautiful walks straight from the campsite. Didn’t have to drive far for some great pub food at The Miners Arms, or some Thai at NG Thai food. The host was very helpful and super kind! Look forward to staying here again 😁
