From the manager: Thank you for your review Emma, and your kind words about me personally. I'm sorry you won't be returning again however I would like to point out that we did mention in our introduction profile that the field had been grazed throughout the spring and very early summer so visitors were aware and could experience the field in its natural state. I hope we shall see you again and I hope Elliot enjoyed his flask of tea 😊

Liked: Fradswell Meadow was a wonderful campsite and James was a fantastic host. An idyllic country location with lovely walks and paddleboarding nearby, and James brings delicious baked goods and the best firewood around if ordered. A simple campsite, which is what we love, but everything that was offered by very well maintained. We hope James will continue with his venture as we'd love to come back and stay.

From the manager: Thank you Brooke for your kind review:-D it was a joy to meet you and Patrick and hear how much fun you both had in your activities.

From the manager: Thanks Chelsie :-) Really pleased you liked everything, I think you did pick a great spot with a view of the big oak tree :-D look forward to seeing you all again

Liked: Space, simplicity, wildness, peace and quiet, campfire. Could choose where to pitch up - had a great flat spot so one of the best sleeps I’ve had in a tent. We were 3 adults, 6 children (9+ years) - the children had space to run and play freely but safely. James was a great host too!

Disliked: A minor observation but the meadow was totally unmown - when it rained we were all soaked walking to the portaloos in the long grass. Perhaps a few path ways could be mown in the grass whilst keeping the rest of the field as natural as possible? Please also sow some wildflowers - it would be an absolute joy to camp in a meadow like this.

From the manager: Thanks Suzanne :-) it was lovely to see your family enjoying themselves. Your point about the pathways is a good idea, and something I'll certainly take on board! the wildflowers is in my vision for this site (thinking of planting them on the bank where people don't pitch) but i wanted to see if there was a market for our site before committing so anything permanent. We also plan on offering more bakery goodies as these have been a great success :-D look forward to seeing you again in the future

Liked: Friendly host, James, bringing us logs and croissants from the bakery. .adele to feel very welcome. Site was very peaceful, surrounded by beautiful countryside and walks.

From the manager: Thank you Vanessa, it was lovely to meet you both and I'm thrilled you enjoyed our spot along with the bakery goodies. We are looking to have more bakery products on offer next year and have a few other plans in store. Look forward to seeing you both again 😊

Liked: The peace and quiet. Having water on site. Toilets on site. Walks around the area. Dog friendly site. All dogs on leads. Eggs and fire wood available to order in advance. Fire pit and BBQ you can bring yourself.

Disliked: Would have liked the bottom walk gateway cut back so it was easier to pass through for another walk.

From the manager: Thanks for your review Sharon it was lovely to meet you both. My apologies for the gateway, i saw that a few other campers had walked through there so i assumed it was passable, however i shall look to check it more often in future. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I look forward to seeing you both again :-)

Liked: The surroundings were lovely and the site excellent. Basic toilet facilities are available alongside fresh water. Firewood and refreshments are also offered by the site, to order. James the owner, I found to be a very nice young fellow, being very friendly and very helpful. We had recently bought a camper and wanted a site close to home to test the van, but we will certainly be returning back to Fradswell.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike
