Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: We stayed in the woodland tent pitches, which were fantastic b it the fields were also available. Plenty of areas between the trees and shrubs to choose from, compost toilet nearby. Campfires were permitted, with wood to buy there. Matt was fantastic, showed us around and was helpful with any questions.

Disliked: Occasional groups of people using portable speakers for disturbing, loud music, but this would be turned off by the later evening at least.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: The booking process was quick and easy. The campsite owners were welcoming and helpful. The facilities were clean and well maintained and serviced. The site was spacious with plenty of choice of pitches including open fiend and enclosed woodland.

Disliked: Price was a little higher than I usually pay for a non electric pitch for just a tent, 2 humans and a dog and I like to go camping to be in a natural environment so disappointed when people around us feel the need to play loud music.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: We really liked the camping spot in the forest, was really cute for daughters (5 year old) first time camping, the campfire was a really nice touch as well, we only stayed one night so didn’t manage to do much exploring but went to the garden centre nearby which was recommended by owner. Could hear the horses in the nearby field which was very nice. Will definitely come again. Great location from where we live.

Disliked: Nothing was great, well… apart from the cockerel aha
