Lovely site with lively views from the pitches in the 2nd field
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked The spacious pitches are great , the facilities are immaculate and I mean immaculate , the peace and quiet is bliss, we did hear the farm dogs on the first night about 11 but it only lasted about 30mins and wasn’t a prob, there is no reception but your name is at the gate with your pitch number so it was easy. Water taps are all around which is convenient
We did the walk to Meva - it’s only 1.5 miles but as I have arthritis it was hard but still a lovely walk, the hills are steep, took us 40 mins - ours neighbours got a taxi who accommodated their dog
Disliked What’s not to like , it would be hard to find a dislike

Liked Nice small, quiet campsite.
You arrive to a board with your name next to a pitch number. Very easy to find your pitch.

Great site with views at a sensible cost
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Excellent last minute find for us. Large flat grass pitches with hook-up and water taps not far away. Very good showers, toilet and washing up facilities including draining boards. Concrete blocks available for BBQ's. Elsen and recycling disposal. All for a reasonable pitching fee.
