Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Great view. Peaceful location, and atmosphere. Loved car free campsite, cars were only parked the other side of the hedge but camping field itself was free of vehicles. Great nature onsite from chickens to Tawny owls. All key facilities from toilets to freezer for ice packs were well kept and clean. Friendly host with great local knowledge.
