Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch (small)
Liked A wonderful campsite- just the right number of pitches so as not to feel overcrowded. Really spacious pitches. The owners were very welcoming and even came on an ice cream round- much appreciated. Great views and located deep into the countryside. Local village shop and pub a 10 minute walk across the field. A great vibe all round.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Toilets and showers were clean, site was easy to find. They had sheep on the farm which were adorable. Overall the area was picturesque and peaceful.
Disliked Only thing that could be improved as that the grass was very long, which made for a wonky ground under the tent.

Good site, just a shame about the long grass.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Very nice location. Good facilities and friendly owners. Very nice pub within 15 mins walk.
Disliked Long grass in the tent field which isn't ideal when pitching your tent. All other areas were nicely kept so a shame people in tents weren't treated the same.

From the manager: Hello. Apologies for the grass being long but our tractor and mower had broken down so we were unable to cut the field for a few weeks. Unfortunatley the small lawnmower we use on other areas of the site isn't substantial enough for the tent field. The field is usually maintained to the same standard as the rest of the site

It’s a small site. Quiet (except lots of sheep!) but fields are hilly!
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Nice bathroom and shower but not enough for a full site.
Disliked The grass wasn’t mowed on the non electric field which was super wet in the morning. With it being up to my knees and kids waists lots of clothes got wet before breakfast and field was super hilly so hard to find a flat place to pitch up. Nice lady though!

From the manager: Hello. Thankyou for staying with us and apologies for the grass being long. Unfortunatley the tractor broke down and it was a couple of weeks before we could get a replacement. The lawn mower we use on other areas of the site is too small for the field. Usually the grass is much shorter in the tent field.
