Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: We stayed here one night in our campervan with our dog, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were met on arrival by the lovely Paul who showed us to our pitch and introduced us to all of the animals on the site and gave us a tour of the facilities - the toilet and shower were lovely and clean, and there's a games room with kitchen facilities, an enclosed dog field to throw a ball around and a playground for kids. The site was fully booked but really quiet and peaceful. We'll definitely be back!
Disliked: Nothing - everything was brilliant!

From the manager: Thank you for your review we are always looking to improve but were a little disappointed with some of the low scores as we have always excelled with cleanliness value for money and the facilities that we have for such a small campsite. As you have visited previously the score for location of 6/10 was very disappointing for us as we can not change this and you chose the location a second time. We will take your scores very seriously and will keep working to always ensure our guests have the best experience possible when staying with us.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch (super)
Liked: This is a wonderful place for everyone, loads to do for the kids and adults can relax, pitches are all a good size. We stayed on the super pitch which was fenced in, perfect if you have dogs and small children. Showers were hot and clean none of this push button. Owners were friendly and on hand if you needed them. Definitely will be back

Liked: We had a very warm welcome by the lovely owner Michelle.Each pitch is a brilliant size and there are even two super pitches that are an enormous size and are fully fenced off so perfect if you have dogs. There is a great family room,children's park and dog field. The site has absolutely stunning wood carving on it which just adds to its charm.They have a donkey,3 sheep,3 pigmy goats & 2 alpacas which Michelle brings out for the children to hold and interact with which is a lovely experience for them.You can tell Michelle is very passionate about their animals and they are all extremely well cared for. The site is very quiet and surrounded by gorgeous views. The Waskerley Walk is just 20 min walk away and the views are beautiful.This site is just perfect and the lovely owners should be very proud of what they have achieved.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike.
