Liked: Friendly owners and clean facilities
Disliked: It was like camping in someone's garden with the pitch facing there house

From the manager: Thanks for doing a review but we are disappointed at your comments. We checked each day of your stay to make sure all was ok for you. It is clear when booking our site that we do not have showers, we do not take children, and marking low accommodation is strange as it was your tent.... I wish people would check what is or is not available when booking, our site clearly is not for everyone.

Liked: Alles! Hartelijke ontvangst door Margareth, alle faciliteiten werden goed uitgelegd, prachtige natuur, mooie vijver met steiger en wandelingetje, fijn kleinschalige camping, nette faciliteiten als kamperen bij de boer, en prachtige bossen eromheen om te wandelen met de honden. Keurige prijs vergeleken bij andere dergelijke campings die veel minder gemak gaven. Ik zou hem graag aan iedereen aanbevelen, maar dan hebben we het de volgende keer minder rustig ;-)

Liked: In all our 35 years of Caravan/Motorhome camping we have never met such lovely owners. Stuart & Margaret are a very welcoming & friendly couple. They are very proud of their campsite & it shows. Beautifully kept grounds. very clean amenaties & surrounded by nature. Stayed 4 days. Enjoyed 2 days fishing in the well stocked lake & had enjoyable walks through the woods to the nearby local pub for lunch. Perfect. Enjoyed our stay & will definitely be returning to this delightful site.
Disliked: No dislikes.

From the manager: It was great to meet you both, and thanks for a great review. Its true we are passionate about our site and business, and although the income offsets the costs we are not profit driven, and that is the difference I think. We do hope you return and enjoy another stay. Kind Regards to you both, Stuart and Margaret.
Excellent site for peace and quiet and to listen to nature
