Liked: The peace and quiet, beautiful site. Nothing to much trouble for owner. Kitted out kitchen is perfect, no cooking in the rain here. Just take your little cooker into kitchen that’s got microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge. Even washing up liquids and tea towels. Claire has thought of everything bless her. Walk in shower room with toilet and sink. Ideal for those with limited mobility. There’s also toilet and sink next to kitchen. Mobile data is best in stable yard but you go away to leave this at home…. If you love horses/ponies Claire has 3 beautiful girls..

Electric grass pitch
Liked: The facilities were clean and the grounds were spacious. The owner seemed lovely.
Disliked: After spending £70 on a pitch I was quite taken back that you had to put a £1 in a meter for a shower I would have thought that would have been in the price. Location was ok but a little out of the way from anything.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. On pitch up it clearly states how far.my camp site is from shops and pubs. Five Minutes drive. The beauty and benefits of site is tranquility. There are sites next to pubs etc but the down side is there may be traffic noise. I'm sorry you felt £1 was too much to pay for a ten minute shower. Many camp sites charge the same as I do but do not offer a fully equipped kitchen with hot water all day and free use of fridge freezer washing machine kettles and microwaves.
Clare was a lovely hostess and generally we enjoyed our stay.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: It was beautiful small and compact campsite, wonderfully located with easy access to many lovely places to visit and picturesque walks. The campsite was well equipped and serviced.
Disliked: The non-electric camping pitches are located down the slope of the camping field right next to the river and the ground became quite saturated when it rained.

From the manager: Thank you for your review and I'm pleased that overall you enjoyed your stay. I have been battling to keep everywhere clean during this very wet weather and I'm sorry you felt it necessary to give six points for cleanliness. The Midlands, Cheshire and parts of north Wales have experienced more than twice the normal rainfall for September during the last few days. My site has remained remarkably firm because it slopes gently down to the small brook.
Exactly what we needed.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: A lovely small campsite in a beautiful area. The kitchen facilities with fridge, washing machine, microwaves and a small sitting room to one side was very clean and although we only used it to do our washing up was very welcome. There is a toilet with shower and second toilet at the back of the kitchen so plenty of facilities for the size of camp. The owner was very welcoming, greeting us on arrival and pointing out where everything was and the closest shop (a very well stocked farm shop 2 minutes drive away) We were the only people staying so told could set up anywhere we wanted which was nice. Although we were the only people there the site had plenty of space and looked like everyone would have plenty of room even when full. Sadly we were only there for one night trying a new tent we had recently purchased, not having been camping for quite a few years, but we loved every moment and wished we could have stayed longer.
Disliked: Nothing

From the manager: Thank you so much for your great review. I'm pleased you enjoyed your all too short stay and I do hope you'll stay longer next season.

Liked: Owner was friendly, the baby loved being able to see the chickens, horses and the yard cat. Cat was super friendly. Large pitches with plenty of space.
Disliked: Not an issue with the campsite at all but we had no signal or Internet. Not a problem though for us :)

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review. I agree, the Internet is a problem.. Its very poor in the whole area. I've been on to my provider and BT. on countless occasions. When I was at the Royal Welsh Show in July I spotted the openreach stand. I explained my problem and they were sympathetic and helpful. They advised that the government are pledged to guarantee a minimum Internet speed to every household in the UK. Great I thought and duly rang the unbiased department phone number they provided optimistic that with the government pledge to cover the first £3,500 to improve our coverage, our problem would be solved. I had a reply within two days. My hopes were well and truly dashed when I was told it would cost between £9,000,00 and £1,500,00 to provide a decent Internet speed! I'm told we will eventually have high speed cable, but until then I can only apologise.
