What customers say
This family-run site offers a relaxed atmosphere with spacious pitches, lovely views, and a peaceful ambiance. Guests praised the friendly and accommodating owners, the on-site animals which were a hit with children, and convenient proximity to local attractions like Alton Towers and village pubs. Basic but clean toilets were noted. While most found the facilities adequate for short stays, some suggested showers would be a welcome addition for longer visits. Signage could be improved for easier navigation.

Liked Lovely host, greeted us as we arrived. Most of the pitch is flat, nice location, great vibes. Toilet facilities were clean. All the campers were polite and nice. Had a great time, thanks for having us!

Cheap and cheerful, but kids need watching if playing about.
Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch
Liked Beautiful views, friendly owners, real community feel amongst other campers, and lots of optional extras to purchase if required (wood, marshmallows, eggs etc). Great pub around the corner and 15 minutes from Alton Towers.
Disliked Only 2 toilets on site which lacked privacy, and it was really busy so obviously lots of people in and out. No hot water for the one communal sink (outdoors with no shelter - not ideal). And a bit delicate this one: the site owners’ children were playing on the campsite unattended, and the youngest was being a bit unkind (thumped another child which went unnoticed by any other adults, and wouldn’t move down the slide so other children couldn’t use it, including my daughter). He also pulled out the dipstick from the tractor and was splashing oil about!! So I don’t really agree with letting them use the area unless they’re being monitored or you can ensure they’re playing nicely (sorry - not a parental criticism, just from a business perspective).

Very pleasant and happy place to stay. Will definitely be back
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Loved how kind and helpful the owner are. My 2 children could run round and play with no problems. Really good value for money. We was so comfortable and relaxed here. Will definitely be back
Disliked Toilets. Was kept clean and nice. Only down side. The lights and doors left on and open all night. So would be completely full off bugs and daddy long legs in the morning. I don’t mind bugs but made my child scared to use

Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch
Liked Second time staying here and was happy that the first time wasn't just a one off.
Whilst it was considerably busier this time - was still ideal for what I needed.
Disliked With the number of people staying this weekend - more toilets would be beneficial- especially when there are so many children on site

Excellent site, friendly staff great views.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great location, and view with plenty of space on the the pitch. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Pub next door did great food and hetty's tea shop which is a 15 minute walk away is a must followed by a walk along the canal.
