What customers say
Guests praise the stunning location and beautiful scenery, with many enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and proximity to hiking trails. Pitches are generally spacious. While some note facilities can be basic, they are usually found clean. The pizza nights are a highlight. A consistent point of feedback is the walk to the showers, which are located at the farm rather than on the main campsite, and occasional issues with hot water at the washing-up sinks. Some campervan pitches have been noted as uneven. The absence of phone signal is often seen as a positive for a digital detox.

Nice little site
Disliked Shower location ( feels like miles away / showers were also cold/ issue with them during our stay )
Pizza advertised but was cancelled and we didn’t know until we had arrived ( had to then drive 30 mins to the nearest shop, little disappointed)
Shop was not open whilst we were there which was also disappointing and apparently due to the site “not being very busy “
The use of people having BBQ / fire pits when there is fire ban currently.
Pitch 1 - sadly when we arrived was the only one left and it was next to the bins and toilets / washing up - very noisy and people have no respect.
“Dogs must be kept on leads “ -
Applies to no one apparently
The peace & quiet after 10pm was non existent and I had to call the hosts as the disruption went on until midnight, then woken up at 6am from people washing up, and slamming doors / bins , which was not the most ideal situation and a shame people are not mindful of others.
Pitch was also not very even/ level and quite stoney.
Site was very small in person compared to pitch up.
Entrance/ exit to the site - dangerous/ tight
Book a pub meal before your stay ( no takeaways and limited availability as fully booked. Nearest shop is 20-30 mins away.

We were really looking forward to…
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked We were really looking forward to this campsite with the good reviews and stunning location, unfortunately it was let down by a number of things. The pitches are just organised chaos and the only pitch we could find for our camper van was on a slope too uneven for our ramps and other people half parked onto our pitch with two vehicles! The pizza night on the Saturday which was one of the reasons we booked was cancelled with no explanation why. To top it off when we walked half a mile up the road we found out we couldn’t shower the whole time we were there as the showers only had freezing cold water as the boiler was broken and was supposed to be fixed and never was. Also no one ever actually came round to check on us and to check our booking which we found was very odd! Overall the campsite is in a beautiful spot but really let down by a number of issues so don’t think we will be revisiting this site.

Overall had a great stay and would definitely come again!
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Beautiful place and very peaceful. Toilet block was clean and close and same with the bins and washing up area. Dog friendly she had the best time! Perfect location for walks. Would definitely stay again!!
Disliked The showers were a long walk away in the village away from the camp site however this was stated in the description. Check in was a bit confusing. Didn’t know what pitch so just chose one and set up and no one came around to check us in so at first it was a bit confusing must be very trusting but this wasn’t much of a problem.

Lovely site and location
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Great location and pitch sizes. Easy access to lots of trails and a good country pub minutes away.
Disliked Wouldn’t say too much to dislike. As others have mentioned, it’d be good to have more than 1 cubicle in the gents and one morning there was no toilet paper.
