What customers say
This is a peaceful, well-maintained campsite with spacious pitches and a friendly, helpful owner. Facilities, including toilets, showers, and a communal kitchen, are consistently reported as very clean. Guests appreciate the rural location and the on-site animals. While phone signal is weak, this is considered by many to contribute to the site's tranquil atmosphere. Minor points include a charge for showers and the need to bring your own toilet roll.

Liked Lovely, scenic site with lots to do in the surrounding area. Friendly welcome on arrival from the owner, Claire (who also went out of her way to recommend and research places to go and things to do nearby) . Spotlessly clean facilities. Loved it!
Disliked Nothing, just having to go home and leave the peace and tranquility of the site (and also Milo, the resident cat, who was so sweet and fussy)!!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your great review and lovely photos. Do come again soon.
Will be returning.
Anonymous Electric grass pitch
Liked Excellent site. Lovely and quiet. We all loved the animals.
Disliked Toilet got a bit messy in the morning. If staying for more than one night might need some more shower facilities than is available.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your 10/10 rating.i apologise if some campers did not clean up after themselves . I do check and clean both toilets and shower first thing in the morning and periodically throughout the day. As you can imagine,when the campsite is full and especially when children are in and out all day despite the probability that I've just cleaned, there are hopefully rare occasions when the facilities are not as spotless as I would like despite my best efforts.
A great weekend and if I am in that area I would chose to stay again.

Liked The owner Claire is wonderful and helpful from the day you arrive to the day you leave. Everything was as expected and better. The facilities are well kept (unless a bad guest arrives) The kitchen has everything you could possibly want.
Disliked My only note would be that on the description it stated there was plenty for children to keep them occupied such as toys and games available. Unfortunately there was non - but other campers were happy to share with my 2 year old grandchild and she loved the horses and cats too.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your great review. I didn't realise it says on pitch up that there are toys available as there never have been, except years ago when I let some children play with my lovely set of giant wooden garden jenga until someone used them for fire wood. I'll get that misinformation removed.

From the manager: Thank you so much Stephen for your fab review. Hope to see you again.
Great comfy and peaceful stay in great location
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Really nice site with good, clean and reliable facilities.
Huge pitches with plenty of spare space for the kids to play. Far enough away from others for privacy but close enough to socialise as well.
Great location with a short walk to the sandstone trail and malpas just a stones throw away. Would happily go back again.
Disliked Feel bad saying as there’s nothing anyone can do about it but there is zero phone signal so if you need your devices to work or keep in contact with family etc it’s not ideal. That’s not a reflection on the site it’s the whole area.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Many thanks for your lovely review with photos. The bad phone signal is the bane of my life.
