Liked We liked the relax quiet, park where you like, with a16th century pub on your doorstep. Very friendly landlord/ lady. We were there for their regular thursday bike event, with bbq and music it was amazing, they finished by 9.30.
Level grass field
There's a toilet, shower, for the use of campers, with a door code for security, clean. This was sufficient for us, as only 4 campers at the most when we were there.
Theres a stream that runs past the pub with brown trout in it.
Designated childrens play area.
Disliked There was nothing to dislike.

Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch
Liked Great site next to the pub. Good park for kids and stream was lovely too.
Owners were nice and friendly.
Disliked The toilet facilities were not adequate for the number of people staying at the site. Although they were lovely and clean, one toilet for at least 5 units, with at least 2 people per pitch isnt enough. It also doesn’t help that the shower is with the toilet. If you do happen to bring your own portable toilet, there is nowhere to dispose of the waste.

Great little spot behind a lovely local pub, in a beautiful location
Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch
Liked This was a lovely little site. It was a field out the back of a lovely local pub, the owner was very friendly and accomodating. The location is great to go exploring around the wider area and it is a beautiful 20 minute walk to Pluckly village. We were a family camping in two vans, ageing between 27 and 59, we all had a wonderful time.
Disliked There was only one outdoor toilet/shower to use when the pub was closed which could be an issue if it's busy. But our vans were self contained so this wasn't a problem for us.

Liked Ideaal voor wie op doorreis is naar of van het Kanaal.
Het terrein is ruim en zonder vaste plaatsindeling
De sanitaire voorzieningen zijn schoon en goed onderhouden, met toegang via een code.
Aankomst en vertrek zijn op elk moment mogelijk.
De bijbehorende pub biedt een gastvrije sfeer en serveert degelijke, traditionele pubgerechten.

Excellent. Would stay again.
Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch
Liked Ideal location for stopover on the way to the ferry. Quiet location, plenty of space, beautiful surroundings. Great stream for the kids to play in, went for a walk in the corn fields opposite. We arrived late with kids and left early so didn’t get a chance to sample the pub. Bonus that there’s a toilet and shower.
