Rainbow bell tent (medium)
Liked Really friendly host and the tents have everything you need. Great set up and general vibe.
Love the local as it’s so close to some lovely pubs.
Disliked The showers flooded quite quickly but I got the impression they were temporary as it was the end of season. Didn’t take away from our great time.

Amazing first camp trip
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked This was our first camping trip with my children and it was an absolute Joy. Hannah (the owner) was lovely and she was very helpfu.
Hannahs children give out marshmellows of an evening and unfortunately we were at the local pub having dinner (which was amazing), they made sure some marshmellows were left for us to enjoy with our campfire in the evening. Would definitely go back
