Liked: The very cosy blue door cabin, everything you need is provided. We were well content even though the weather wasn't great.

Non-electric grass and earth campervan pitch
Liked: Lovely remote spot, off a very beaten track. Friendly and welcoming hosts. I get the feeling they have bigger plans for the place, but currently only have one toilet. Great if you want something g quiet and out of the way.

Non-electric grass and earth campervan pitch
Liked: The stunning views and nature!
Disliked: Not a dislike but to echo others the track to the field is steep and the field is not completely flat so pick the pitch well! Quite expensive but we had a lovely time.

From the manager: We are glad you loved the views!

Non-electric grass and earth campervan pitch
Liked: Views of beautiful rolling hills in all directions. In the middle of the countryside Cute sheep and horses Plenty of space Friendly, responsive hosts Honesty box is a great idea
Disliked: Hot tap in the washing up area wasn't working (however there is an electric kettle in the room so you can just do it that way). Another compost toilet would be great, but I'm sure that's to come.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Another toilet is on Pete's list, watch this space. We are glad you enjoyed the surrounding countryside and your visit
