Liked: What a lovely little site, right on the river, perfect for launching paddleboards / kayaks. Flat field and well maintained. Run by a nice welcoming family. The freshest smelling portaloo I've ever used. We will be back with our paddleboards, see you soon. Sally and Sarah (S&S)

Liked: Brilliant campsite if you have a Kayak or paddleboard. You can launch your boat directly from the campsite. The owners are super friendly and couldn’t do more to ensure you have a good time. We found our inflatable kayak had a leak and their gardener drove back to her house to fetch a puncture repair kit to get us back on the water. Lovely spacious site and the River is easy and safe to paddle. Will definitely be back. Thank you for a marvellous relaxing weekend.
