Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked This is an absolute gem of a campsite. I was met in the car park by Helen, she was very welcoming and friendly , showed me around the site, told me where to find everything, walked me to a couple of different pitches she thought suitable and let me choose one and then left me to get on with it.
Site itself is very well kept, plenty of space for everyone without being to close, spotless well maintained showers and toilets. Lovely little indoor common room with tables chairs, sofas, fridge freezer, pot washing, kettle and complimentary tea and coffee.
Quiet, relaxed, peaceful site with fantastic views and just a great relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely stay here again.
Disliked Nothing at all.

Gorgeous site that lives up to its name.
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Believe the photos. It is as stunning as it looks. Indoor space was a welcome break and the facilities were excellent. The site owner greeted me, gave me a quick tour and pointed out a local walk which I hadn't noticed and really enjoyed. Felt safe as a solo female traveler. A lovely break in a lovely place.
Disliked Barely an issue but the sheep made for chatty neighbors. Recommend headphones if that might be an issue for you.

Quiet location, the extras made all the difference.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked The space was bigger than we would normally have expected.
The barn where the toilets and showers are housed was spotless. We particularly liked the cosy set-up in the barn also where Helen has set up a tea and coffee station which was much appreciated.

10/10 site and nothing to dislike
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Everything. The views were stunning, the facilities were clean and well thought out with even a sofa seating area. The lady who runs the site even came to say cheerio as I was packing away. I have been to a dozen campsites over the past year as I make camping videos. This is the best one I’ve visited 10/10

Very nice site, worth visiting :)
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Excellent site, facilities and hospitality.
Disliked Just be aware that the site is a little exposed because it's on top of a hill. Be prepared with guylines for extra support on tents and awnings.

Overall excellent site, wonderful host and would highly recommend
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Me and my friends decided to embark on a trip to celebrate finishing uni (we came from Leicester so not far) and Helen was so welcoming and accommodating. She showed us round the site and helped up with our air mattress. The views were stunning and I loved that the site had a common room where you could chill and hang out with your mates and play games!
Disliked Apart from maybe a heater in the common room as found that was colder than outside but then again we did camp in March!!
