Liked Really quiet and clean facilities
The pitch was huge and really well levelled and the water in the showers had great pressure. Really good value for money.

Spotless facilities, neat and tidy level pitches, but annoying noises
Fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Spotlessly clean facilities, neat and tidy level pitches, views spectacular but only from the right spots.
Disliked No views from our pitch apart from hedges, very noisy work going on in the farmyard/barn, if you are pitched by the toilet block then the evening is accompanied by the constant flushing of the toilets.
The booking system gives a choice of pitches for motorhomes but doesn't say what the differences are - both were on gravel and with electric. We chose the one that also allows caravans. I think the one that also allows tents would have been better.

From the manager: Thank you very much for your custom and your review. All feedback is helpful to us so we really appreciate your comments and we can reflect on these to see if improvements can be made with future developments.
To clarify on pitch types the fully serviced touring pitches (4 in our paddock and 2 in our meadow) have gravel on the left hand side so are suitable for all touring vehicles, and include astro-turf strips for awnings. The 2 pitches that are allocated as fully serviced motorhome, campervan or tents (in our meadow) have gravel on the right hand side which does not suit UK caravans with doors on the left and, have no astro-turf for awnings. You are correct though that they all have electric, grey waste and water on them and this is included in the price. I will check that our pitch descriptions reflect this to help reduce any confusion.
We send you our best wishes for the rest of your summer.
Amy, Roger and family
Warm welcome, clean facilities and a lovely pitch area.
Non-electric grass tent pitch (no cars, no pets, two person)
Liked Amy made me feel welcome right away. She asked me whether I wanted my phone to be charged and if I could use a chair. I was really thankful for this, especially after a long day of hiking.

From the manager: Thank you very much Chiara for your custom and your lovely review and feedback. It was lovely meeting you and I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay. The chairs are magic after a long days hike so you are most welcome for this. Sending you our best wishes for a great remainder of your travels.
