Liked: Amazing location, beautiful views and set up of the campsite. Toilets and showers very nice. John was super friendly. The stream with a swing was amazing to keep kids busy. A little village shop within a walking distance. Fields and walking trails around to explore. Fairy lights looked amazing in the evenings. Pitches very good size.
Disliked: Not enough toilets and showers for the size of the campsite. Wood logs way too expensive for how much you get. That's it :)
