From the manager: Hi, thank you for your feedback. We would like to understand what you found unacceptable about the toilet and wish you had raised it at the time as we were very available. It is a basic site with basic facilities. The toilet is cleaned after every changeover, there was plenty of toilet paper and soap provided in the portaloo. We are happy for you to contact us directly so we can learn about your experience.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Liked that we were the only ones on site. There were some football goals which my boys enjoyed.

Disliked: Sadly the problem was the chemical toilet which if there was more than just our family it could have been a lot worse. Also there was no proper sink to wash dishes, brush teeth or wash our faces.

Liked: I was sceptical about the lack of facilities, however on arrival I quickly realised that the location and peacefulness quickly made up for this. The owners were very welcoming and made us feel at home. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back soon. Five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Local attractions

If you’re feeling active, you can be on the golf course in less than 10 minutes’ drive. There are loads of options for keen hikers too: at Stiperstones National Nature Reserve (35 minutes) you might get to see red kites, skylark and raven as you amble. For long-distance days out in the fresh air, the heathland trails at National Trust - Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd (20 minutes) are suitable for both walkers and cyclists. More into viewing old sights? Buff up on your ancient history with a tour of the extensive remains at Wroxeter Roman City (20 minutes); or wander the impressive ruins of Cistercian Buildwas Abbey (half an hour). Plan to spend a day among the museums, exhibitions and old-world shops of Ironbridge Gorge Museum (half an hour), showcasing life since the Industrial Revolution. Lovely Shrewsbury (25 minutes) is packed with ancient half-timbered houses centred on its medieval abbey and Edward Pugin-designed cathedral built in 1856. Explore the town by following the colourful mini-mural trail around the streets, seek out a traditional beamed pub and settle down with a pint of local beer, or alternatively hop on a cruise down the River Severn.
