Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Well i have to say i booked this last minute and didn't know what to expect with a pop up campsite, but boy oh boy it didn't disappoint. The field is huge with 2 male and 2 female toilets that were very clean. The showers (cold) were excellent too as the weather was scorching, so refreshing. There was also a s/steel sink for washing up and a tap for drinking water..... everything you needed for a basic campsite, but it was perfect for our needs. I will certainly be going back. The owner made an effort to meet everybody and he was so friendly. The whole weekend was perfect.

Not going there again.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The view.
Disliked The toilets and washing facilities were poor. One shower with no hot water. Can you list a shower if it’s cold water?
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. However it clearly states in the description that the site has no hot water therefore the showers and washing up area are cold water.
