Electric gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked: Lovely little site a 5 minute walk from Cheshire Oaks and two great pubs within a 2 minute walk. Very basic site with a portaloo, water and EHU by the stables. We booked the hard standing for one night and it was perfect. We slept in the pop top. Yes, you can hear the traffic from the road but it didn’t bother us at all. The owner quickly responded to our messages when we arrived and we didn’t need to contact her again until we thanked her for a perfect stay. We have stayed at the CAMC up the road, and for one night, prefer this one. We will be back.

Liked: It's It's field
Disliked: Portable loo not ideal very basic. Only 1 portable loo which would be terrible if field busy
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Very misleading review, you decided to pitch in the field (all guests have this option) and we’re fully able to pitch on hardstanding if desired. My page states extremely clearly the facilities are basic, so if you don’t want basic facilities (many vdubbers love off grid) don’t book! Obviously when camping is open (currently closed until next year) more portaloo facilities are hired in, as we only have one booking per night I feel the toilet to pitch ratio of 1:1 is more than adequate. So to make a comment based on an inaccurate presumption and add such a low rating due to your own insufficient research is extremely mean spirited

From the manager: Thank you for your review and pleased you will visit again. I am very sorry that the toilets were not in perfect condition as they are attended several times a day, however, they will only be as clean as they are left by the previous user which I am guessing may have happened on this occasion. Generally the toilets receive complementary feedback 🤞🙏

Liked: Quiet, flat meadow. Toilets clean. Pub next door is excellent!
Disliked: Wasn't obvious where to pitch and also park (especially as the weather was wet, and the field was a little boggy in places).
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for your review 🙏 As I always explain to guests you are able to pitch where suits you. I’m actually surprised the meadow isn’t more wet given the unprecedented amount of rain we have had this month, I’m just pleased that this does not seem to have affected your stay and another positive vote for the pub next door is always good to hear 👍
