Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Just arrived back after our trip to Osprey Meadow. Loved the board that had our pitch number and name on, drove on and found our pitch by ourselves then Phil came along a short while later to check we were all okay. Loved the childrens park and the communal area with the tables and chairs, fussball table, darts board, colouring, microwave, kettle and fridge in, didn't use it much but definitely a great shelter if the weather was bad. The toilets and showers were clean (lovely lady cleaning then too) no heating in there but the water in the shower was red hot if wanted, no complaints. One washing up sink in the same barn as the toilets and showers, had washing up liquid (thank god because we forgot ours) tea towels for use there too, as well as hand towels which were replaced every morning. Loads of mirrors too which is a rarity I think on campsites. The site was only small and very quiet during our stay, with tents/campers round the edge of the field so could always see the kids playing. Great location, not too far from local attractions.
Disliked: Two free roam dogs who were well behaved and lovely don't get me wrong but just wasn't over keen on them sat waiting on you whilst you cooked and ate, we didn't feed them but it was obvious that other campers did. Early morning traffic coming from the neighbouring village to the main road on the week day morning but that's absolutely no reflection on the site.

Liked: Lovely site with excellent facilities and a brilliant play area for wee kids. The chickens & ducks were a particular highlight for our almost 2yr old daughter who was mesmerised for longer than we’ve ever known her entertained on a single thing before! :-D Really good showers and a welcome wee games/family area where the showers etc. are made some inclement weather whizz by too.

Liked: A small little site, with everything a stone throw away from your pitch. Site management leave you alone, everything you need is in nearby village also. Not showers.
Disliked: It could do with a good tidy up. Site is very functioning but you can tell its left for long periods of time without site management intervention. My opinion it needs day to day maintenance and cleaning.

Liked: The site was lovely. All you needed for a chill time away. Little one loved watching the ducks while he had his breakfast every morning. The play park was the right amount of adventure and it was lovely that it was so close to the main campsite so you could see the children. Lots to keep them occupied. A store to borrow from too which I thought was fab - high chairs, potties, books, games. The showered were rustic and basic, but we’re done very nicely. Nice hot water with a good pressure. I LOVED the sink set up. The owner was lovely and would pop round most mornings to check all was ok while he was sorting the animals. Very accommodating when we asked if we could switch plots. Would definitely visit again.
Disliked: My only gripe was that the games in the toilet block were all ransacked and missing. I appreciate how much effort it must take to sort them all out when people done put things away properly, but it was sad that most were missing pieces or not in the right box.
