Great choice for quiet beautiful surroundings
Anonymous Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Loved the peace and quiet, the natural field margins with wild flowers (not the biting bugs though) and lovely walk to the local shop and picking up fresh vegs on the road side.
Disliked Needed a washing up area next to the washing block. Also no signage indicating there was a washing area, fridge/freezer and washing machines in stable block. One found out by chance.

Nice site, but some issues which need attention
Fully-serviced grass touring pitch
Liked Very peaceful and quiet. Generally a tidy site, and toilet facilities clean.
In the process of building disabled toilet and shower facility, which looks very nice.
Barry, the owner was friendly and helpful
Disliked Lots of areas that could be improved, some of these were reported to the owner, who said they were "in hand". Toilets generally clean, but did not get daily attention although there were not many caravans on site. Gents full of cobwebs ( cleared on last day we were there, but ought to have been done daily). Ran out of loo roll (no signs as to where spares kept) Ants in shower window, falling into shower tray. Could see gents urinals and full view of gents urinating if door was opened. Only one toilet in gents. Missing or sticking locks on ladies toilets and showers. Toilet bins not emptied daily. Toilets needed a "womans" touch. Some roads to access the site were single track. Not sure there was compliance with distance between units. We had a motor home 5 feet from our caravan. Think it was slightly overpriced for the facilities available.

A nice site,a thoughtful owner looking for ways to improve his site.
Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Nice quiet location for a really peaceful overnight stay.
Spoke to the owner and got the impression it's a fairly new venture and he is trying to think of ways to supply fun activity for kids but without disruption to the adults .
A really nice guy with some good plans and ideas.
Disliked Just some items lacking signage such as taps without "drinking water" signs on but the owner did say he was in the process of adding signs.

2 bedroom lodge (hot tub)

Anonymous Fully-serviced grass touring pitch
Liked It was a lovely quiet site everyone was very friendly
Disliked It’s not a fully serviced pitch like it says, it had water and electric not nothing for waste! There’s nothing for the kids to do
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hi
Yes there is a waste treatment plant just infront of the Disable toilet and shower room at the end of the male and female toilet and shower block.
Sorry but it's on my list to do, to put a sign up, i should have said when you first came on site.
Best regards.
Barry
