Mitchell's Field electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked A really lovely and well maintained adults only site. Impeccably clean toilets and hot showers, friendly staff and a great on-site bar with indoor and outdoor seating as well as pizza/ burger food options to save firing on the stove after exploring/ relaxing.
The nesting swallows near the washing up area were an added entertainment bonus!
Will definitely be returning.
Disliked No negatives at all.

Mitchell's Field electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Wife and I camped at Flaxton Meadows for 4nights, we were greeted on arrival and shown to our pitch which was a very good size, showers and toilets where very clean. Onsite bar was very nice along with a covered outside seating area, and the onsite pizza station is a gem.. all the staff are so polite and very welcoming, if you'd fancy a walk they have a folder of many walks you can enjoy. Or ya can just kick off ya shoes and just sit back and relax as it's so peaceful. I could carry on rating Flaxton but why not just book and go you won't be disappointed. We had a peaceful break and would highly recommend, wouldn't hesitate to rebook.

Disliked A bit annoying having a shower in the dark after 5minutes, ok I like a long shower .
