Non-electric hardstanding and grass tent or motorhome pitch (large)
Liked: Friendly hosts on arrival (didn’t speak to them after that) good size pitches. A lovely family that stayed there were super friendly which was really nice as it was our first night In our new tent box. Scenery is lovely. The site has chickens too which were a novelty.
Disliked: Site is definitely a work in progress, building onsite, shower blocks and loos need an overhaul. Our pitch (18) was next to what we thought was going to be a quiet road. It was really busy for the location at all hours. We left the site super early without even having our breakfast. Have rated the WiFi 5* as can’t mark it down as stayed in roaming.

Liked: Beautiful view. Separate, nicely defined pitches. Hot showers.
Disliked: I think this will be a fabulous campsite in a couple of years time when it has been fully built, and there is more of a routine to the customer service. Customer service was pleasant, but not very proactive. There is no signage on the road or at the gate to indicate the campsite, and the entrance is in a hidden location. On arrival, I had to phone the site owner to ask if I was in the right place after driving around for ages looking. I then struggled to open and close the gate by myself, as an older solo traveller, while the site owner stood feet away and watched me! She then greeted me and did the check-in, as if nothing had happened. There was nothing for drying your hands in the toilets, which seems to have been commented on before. The site was busy over the bank holiday weekend, and the toilet rolls ran out on Saturday night, but were still not replenished when I left the site on the Monday morning, even though the owners were definitely around on site.
