What customers say
This is a well-maintained, friendly campsite with spacious pitches and beautiful surroundings, ideal for families and dog walkers. Glamping pods and shepherds huts are popular, praised for comfort and amenities. The site offers excellent facilities including a well-stocked shop and ample space for children's activities and relaxation. Staff are consistently described as helpful and welcoming. While generally peaceful, some guests noted potential for noise during busy periods. A few minor points were raised regarding shower/toilet numbers at peak times and occasional WiFi issues, but overall feedback is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

Glamping Pod
Liked The peace and quiet is a real winner.
Lots of space for children to play safely and great location.
The pod was clean and beds were comfy. And the shower was hot and powerful.
On-site shop was an extra and the location is close enough to a range of activities by car.
Staff lovely.

Sorry but seeing as you take dogs no bins is really not good.
Fully-serviced grass pitch
Liked The shop, very friendly lady. Site very tidy.
Slightly regimented in rows but easy hook up and water. Loads of space if you have children.
Would recommend for families with children.
Disliked Only one shower for women if the site was full likely to queue, only 2 loos. Only ONE loo in mens toilet.The fact there were NO dog poo bins you had to use one across the road. The beautiful nature trail had 4 lots of dog poo on the paths, sad as this is for children too.
