Liked: Lovely Location, beautiful outlook and immediate site environment, friendly.
Disliked: Not a severe dislike ( we would still go back) but we have used better composting toilets and at busy times with just 2 + a portaloo they were quite busy. It was quieter after the weekend and they were okay. We would have liked the option of increasing the water temperature on the covered outdoor showers

Liked: Heronsdale campsite is wonderful. Very organised and tidy. I had pre-ordered logs and a fire pit and they were waiting for us when we arrived. The location is stunning. We had a lovely walk to a nearby pub. We saw a barn owl both evenings we were there around dusk.

Liked: Nice setting amongst the trees. Composting toilets very well organized and clean.
Disliked: Drove some distance off my intended route enticed by reading previous reviews about how lovely and hot the showers were, only to find them stone cold. Very disappointed.

From the manager: Hi Rick, I'm sorry to hear that you had a cold shower. I always check the showers before campers arrive and on Friday they were in hot working order. I also checked after reading your review and they were working still although someone had moved one of the dials to feed more cold water and perhaps this is why it didn't give you hot water. There was a mobile number in the shower to call for such issues and I would have come to check and fix it if had known. Please do come again and I promise you'll get a hot shower!
Friendly, beautiful site, clean

Liked: A lovely keep-it-simple site in a very rural and scenic spot. Perfectly located for the National Trust properties we wanted to visit and many other things we didn’t have time for, this time around. Very efficiently managed, good hot showers and the compost toilets were absolutely fine. Washing up facilities were good, with plenty of hot water, but we would have appreciated some separately located washbasins for just washing hands, cleaning teeth and so-on. Some really nice touches like fresh eggs available with an honesty box, local walks posted up on walls etc. We saw deer in the early morning and listening to the bird song each morning and evening was a great pleasure. We had a great time and will definitely come again. Many thanks!

Liked: Lovely site, back to basics. Kids had a great time running around in the dell / playing in the trees. Compost toilets clean, nice clean washing up area and good basic showers. Nice to be able to hire a firepit. Will definitely be back soon.
