Liked: Nice fields, with woodland nearby and direct access to the cuckoo trail. Facilities were excellent: spacious and clean showers, well-equipped; warm, well lit toilets. Warm welcome from the owner. Shop selling a good selection of food.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: extremely well run and tidy with great facilities in a lovely setting. They have hot showers with flushing toilets plus some additional composting toilets. All extremely clean and kept really well. Supplies are available at little shop and the staff are super friendly and helpful
Disliked: Because it’s so well, it is very popular and pitches were a bit closer to other tents than I’d like. Way more spacious than park type sites but I personally prefer the more wild camping vibe.

Liked: Chilled out, family vibe campsite. The type of place you go with your small child to read aloud books and play puzzles. Super helpful and friendly owner on site everyday 3-7pm. Clear signage, welcome info pack on arrival, info about local cafe/takeaways, route to Cuckoo Trail. Single woman and young child travelling and we felt very safe and happy here. Owner super helpful when our air bed deflated, he directed us to nearest Argos. No dogs or music allowed... a winner. Daytime plenty to do. By night, sit by campfire. Facilities were great: even provided dish soap. Freezer v helpful (no storing food allowed) but useful for ice packs. Thank you so much for a lovely holiday.

Liked: Simple countryside campsite on a small farm. Scenic location. Friendly and helpful owners, small shop and farm produce for sale. Large field and plenty of space for pitches. Simple clean facilities. The cuckoo trail and other footpaths run by the campsite, some nice country pubs in the area too.

Liked: Stand was a good size. Had decent views. Toilets were clean and well maintained. Showers were clean, spacious and plenty of hot water. Access to firepits and a supply of wood.
Disliked: Only two showers for the whole site so there was a bit of a wait. Could do with a couple more showers.
