Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Lovely site with beautiful views and a very warm welcome. Our pitch had electric and water, hard standing with a grass area and a picnic bench and parasol if required. Sadly we were only there 1 night and didn’t get chance to go into the pub but it did look very nice. We would highly recommend and will definitely book again but this time for a longer stay.

Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Well lit
Pitch is sizeable and well defined
Dogs required to be on lead but there is a free running field
New shower and toilets. Only one in men's but it's a small site (hence 9/10)
Pub is next to site.
Free WiFi
Friendly owner and staff.
Disliked Not much to dislike.. there's the possibility in summer that the garden will be very busy and noisy, maybe into the late evening. It was quiet midweek when we were there, however.

Your Pitch 18 is in a row of x3 others there’s ample room on 18 but if other Visitors don’t parkup correctly then it can effect the room in general .

Not very peaceful
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked The bar having football on
Disliked Church bells ringing pretty much all day on Saturday. Not very peaceful. I had paid for 2 nights and couldn’t handle staying the second night. I left after 1 night. Sorry I expected it to be worse on Sunday.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Wow Really ,
Were you coming From ???
But you may be right !!
The Historic Church Bells in our Beautiful Village Can be Over Whelming for some people Especially when they are for someone's Special Wedding
Day On a Saturday as these were 😉
I suppose this did not "APEEL" to you 😀
But i am very glad you found a rowdy FOOTBALL MATCH your thing on TV
FOR YOUR BRIEF STAY WITH US ,
But regardless

Anonymous Electric grass touring pitch
Liked The site itself was lovely and clean, gorgeous scenery. Facilities were nice and clean. The pub on site serves great food, staff friendly. Shops and takeaways about 5 minutes drive away. Have stayed here before a few years ago and it has all been done up since. Had a spacious pitch with picnic bench and umbrella if needed.
Disliked There was nothing really to dislike apart from the family opposite were playing cricket, hitting the ball towards our caravan and car, running around our pitch and other pitches to retrieve the ball, no pitch etiquette whatsoever!!
