Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked: Really loved my stay here, it was so peaceful. It wasn’t the typical campsite setup, the all the buildings were made of wood making the washing facilities look rustic, fun and different. The lake is nice and there is a walk around it which the dog loved. Friendly owners with an easygoing attitude.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked: We stayed for 3 nights over the bank holiday and we were very happy with the campsite. Very pretty, very friendly and very clean! Showers, toilets and washing up area was lovely and all lit up with fairy lights. It was nice to be able to walk the dog round the fishing lake when we were at the campsite, we will be returning!
Disliked: Nothing!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (lake view)
Liked: Great new campsite. Well thought out eco toilets and showers - no issue with hot water. Sinks and dish washing area kept clean ( both cold and hot water in taps).
Nice views of the lake. Attention paid to the details with cool and quirky finishing touches.
Flat grass. Always short walk to facilities.
Couldn't find bricks for barbecue but owner bought some the next day ( sorry for a burnt patch). highly recommended!

Kingfisher bell tent
Liked: Stunning campsite. We had the furnished bell tent and it was so beautiful- the decor, the fairy lights, the view. The fishing lake on site is picturesque and the toilets were amazing. Big fan of the eco compost toilets and the showers are better than my one at home. Mel and Tom who run the site are super lovely and couldn’t do enough for us

Liked: Probably one of the nicest campsites I've ever stayed at in UK.
Super clean at all times and great attention to detail. Shower gel provided smelt gorgeous, and many other little touches made our stay feel quite luxurious for camping. Flat pitch, well kept grass and a scenic view of the pretty lake, what more could you ask for. A real gem.
