Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Gorgeous little campsite, we absolutely adored how peaceful it was even though it was a bank holiday weekend. When speaking to the lovely owner Helen she said she doesn’t like to overfill the campsite and I think her decision is the best one as you don’t feel too crowded and there is plenty of space .gorgeous weather also helped but this is one place that we will definitely be going back too.

Brilliant, we'll definitely come back another time
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Everything. Clean facilities and well maintained pitches. Friendly host. Quiet, adults only. Good space between pitches so didn't feel squashed. The pitches are flat as the hill doesn't start until further down, so no issues with being level but means you get amazing views from up high. Got to see loads of stars as it was a clear night. BBQs allowed. Had a great stay. Honestly one of the - if not the - best places we've camped.
Disliked Not a dislike for us, but there are several farms surrounding and the baa-ing from the sheep is constant. Recommend ear plugs for sleeping and it's absolutely fine. Just something to bear in mind if you're sensitive to noise.
