Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: I loved this place, a big grass pitch surrounded by the woods. Friendly host, helpful and reachable. On-site fire pit hire. Plus flush toilet, shower, and washing space to support basic needs. Reasonable level of cleanliness.
Disliked: The hot water supply is really low for the four shower blocks (two for men and two for women), plus the taps in the bathroom and dishwashing area. Maybe it's asking too much to have all this in the middle of the woods, but I'm sure the host will sort it out if they can.

From the manager: Many thanks for your comments. We are working to improve the facilities in time for the school holidays.

Electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Nice location , in the centre of forest.
Disliked: No men management, you need take home all your rubbish. No Wi-Fi, no network. It’s good if you want self isolation. I’m o2 network. Not sure others Just a toilet with shower in a grass, that’s all you have , and you must self manage to keep it clean

From the manager: Thank you for your review - we are quite clear that we are a countryside campsite and therefore wifi is not something that we offer, or say that we offer. As a lady running this campsite I am not sure what a man would do differently? We also let everyone know when booking and before they arrive we have no bins - this isn't for everyone we know. You didn't mention the 90 acres of woodland that you also get on top of just the field ;). Sorry you wont be back again - but the countryside isn't for everyone!
Beautiful camp site and surroundings…
