From the manager: Hi Maxine, Thank you so much for your kind words. It warms my heart to hear you had a lovely stay and enjoyed your break. We try to make everyone welcome in this neck of the woods and absolutely loved meeting you and your daughter. My personal aim is to make everyone's stay as pleasant as possible so they can relax and make some great memories here, sitting under the tree, roasting marshmallows, singing in a hammock or exploring Herefordshire, forest of Dean or Wye valley...... To hear you loved the campsite and had a good stay makes it all worthwhile. THANK YOU!

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch
Liked: Picturesque campsite set amongst nature, our pitch was alongside a pond and we were able to have privacy as well as in earshot of facilities such as toilet, washing up and shower. The site owners were only a call away and kids enjoyed themselves. Would return here in future. Many thanks to site owners for their hospitality and kindness.
