What customers say
This is a highly pocket-friendly, clean, and quiet campsite, praised for its helpful and polite owners. Guests appreciated the flat ground, on-site WiFi, and dog-friendly atmosphere. While the location is secluded and peaceful, some visitors noted the access road is extremely narrow, making it challenging for caravans. Some facilities, particularly the outdoor washing area and one of the toilet blocks, require updating and better maintenance.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Another lovely stay! Beautiful location and defiantly one of our faves! Friendly site owners, toilets and shower nice and clean and always well stocked.
Disliked - WiFi was a bit hit and miss the further away you are from the building but phone signal was fine so not too much of a dislike!
- no hot water for the washing up area and not under a cover which means you get wet when it rains!
- £1 to use the shower for 10 minutes. Doesn’t feel long enough but if you don’t mind a quick shower it’s no problem!

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely small campsite with everything needed. Owner is lovely and friendly and the people who live and work there go above and beyond. We extended our stay as we enjoyed it so much. Our 7 and 9 year old have enjoyed their stay too as theres some lovely walks and plenty of animals to see. Wifi is an added bonus too.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Nice quite site
Disliked If travelling there in a caravan make sure you plan the route to the site. Road is challenging. Early morning or late evening when roads are quite would be favourable

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Best part is you get wifi at your pitch.
Highly pocket friendly
Host was extremely helpful and polite
Grass was cut
Land was levelled
Shower is good can be used for 1£ for 10 min
There is a washing machine at the shower can be used for 3£
Dog friendly site
Cannot hear any noise of vehicle as it is secluded from the road
Disliked 1. Toilet was a nightmare. There was one toilet block and shower at reception which was good but, they repeatedly told me that there is one toilet block near the tent, i tried going at it many times, but it was filled with cob webs and at night it would become home of uncountable full sized snails and slugs , on the walls, on the toilet seat on the floor , at the door handle. Toilet definitely needs to be taken care of by the host.
2. The location is close from the main road but on a extremely narrow lane for just 1 vehicle with twists & turns so you have to be careful. We faced a tractor on the way and had to drive reverse a long way to find a passing place
3. There is no proper place to brush your teeth or hot water at wash area. There is sink in the toilet block but unclean toilets carry smell and germs so cant be used for brushing. Only one place outside the toilet block to wash utensils but it didn't have any hot water and was under open sky so you have to wait for the rain to go away.

It's a nice site and quiet
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Flat ground, can park anywhere you like
Owner is a nice guy
Quiet
Clean
Hot water for indoor shower is nice, room could do with an update I honestly think that £1 for 10 minutes shower is very generous
Disliked Not so much didn't like but needs attention;
Outside toilet needs updating
Washing area needs hot water and a plug
Could do with being under cover
Could do with hedges to protect from the wind for tents, we had our windbreakers up but it was still windy
Roads there are exceptionally tight not suited to towing a caravan but tents, motorhomes, campers would be fine.
