Overall not bad but with pets no worth going.
Anonymous The Muntjac Cabin 1 bedroom cabin
Liked Location and cabin it self are great
Disliked If going with pets, owners asking keep them on the leash all the time, and walking they dogs always passing by the cabin, what really affects privacy.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: I'm glad that this camper thought the Cabin and the location were great, but I have to disagree that our site isn't good for dogs. We (like most sites) ask that dogs be kept under control. Unfortunately this campers two dogs were running around without either supervision or control, running up to other campers and their dogs & children. They also ran across private areas setting off my two dogs into a barking frenzy in our garden. On the two occasions I walked past when this was going on I did indeed ask them to put the dogs on a lead - not unreasonable when considering not all campers like dogs (not even all dogs like other dogs and need to be kept apart), and most small children don't like them running up to them uninvited. We love having dogs here, there are walks from the site onto surrounding tracks trails and public footpaths, all we ask is that dog owners have a little consideration for other camp site users - which the vast majority do!

Wildlife, nature (Hare, barn owl, pheasants)
Clearly marked pitches
Good view of planes coming into US Air Force bases
Disliked Only two showers for up 10 tents plus the huts and campers
Bins a long walk from pitches
Noisy kids past 10pm (riding bikes at speed along narrow pathway etc)
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for the kind words, and I'm sorry that our 10pm "quiet time" wasn't adhered to by others (unfortunately we were away that weekend so I wasn't around to enforce the rules). At busy times (like the bank holiday when you visited) a couple more showers would be a benefit, which is why we have plans to build another toilet block with 4 more toilets and showers. However most of the time what we currently have serves our campers well. The bins are away from the camp site because the bin lorries won't come down our beautiful tree lined driveway. Most people simply take their rubbish with them when leaving site and pop it in the bins as they go past. This works quite well for most people, and preserves our car free, child safe camping site.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch
Liked I can’t believe we found such a gem on Pitch Up. First off Rob the host and his wife were very welcoming and provided info on the facilities and what to check out in the near by town. The site was so peaceful, and the woodland pitch was spacious. The shower and toilet facilities were nice and clean, and the hot water felt so good ! We tried out the sauna which was straight forward and reasonably priced for a couple , which was 25 pounds. We dipped into the pond for a cold plunge too. I highly recommend this site. Thank you Rob 😊
