Liked: Friendly host. Back to basics rural campsite in the grounds of a beautiful ancient Essex farm house. Surrounded by fruit trees and a peaceful setting.
Disliked: No shower and toilet long walk away from camping field.

Liked: The site was gorgeous and so quiet. We were welcomed and there was wood provided for us to use as well as a huge firepit. There was a very generous amount of space for us and some lovely local walks. There was only one toilet but it was kept clean.
Disliked: Wasn't a problem for us but there was no phone signal, might be an issue for others.

Liked: Nothing to make us come back
Disliked: I don’t even know where to start, first of all this campsite is in their backyard, is not really a campsite it’s a bigger garden so not so much privacy, second… no bins so you’ll have to take the rubbish with you or just leave it there on the field, noise in the evening a lot from tractors or whatever, drinking water from a tap that they use with a hose for garden and is not even close to where you stay, the “campsite” is very small they say that it accommodates 30 tents… is more like 10 maybe. And finally the toilets…. Just horrible never seen something like that ever it looked like Freddy Krueger’s nightmare, and when he was asked about it he said that it’s been a while since he’s been there, so the toilet is never clean and is only one for apparently 30 tents. We had to set up our own toilet and no bin to throw the rubbish, how can you not have a bin for 30 tents? Clearly thinking about money and not people. 5 stars for the owner of the farm he was nice, 1 star for the son ( campsite manager) he was arrogant
