Liked The views, and peace and quiet.
Disliked Our second visit, first being August Bank Holiday 2024, stayed the same time this year.
We felt the facilities could not cope with the amount of campers this year. Last year there was a guy constantly keeping the compost toilets clean, this year, no-one, We saw someone once over a 48 hour time frame and no compost at all available, I would have taken a photo but it was too horrific.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Nice views, level pitches, laid back vibe with no check in/out times…….for a bigger motorhome, the approach lane is narrow, but with passing places, for dodging tractors……

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Nice views, good space and free to pitch where you like
Disliked Toilets weren't great- we were aware they were compost toilets which we've been fine with before but they didn't have any sawdust to cover so get smelly fast and waste levels were high. The weekend we stayed there were lots of families with small children so was noisier in the morning, not a site if you want a lie in!

Nice site in a very quiet location. Sky was dark and amenities clean.
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Site was pretty flat and well kept. Amenities were clean and tidy and the ability to have a camp fire was a real plus. The no fuss approach to arrival and departure made our single night stay very easy and pleasant.
Kids play set and swing was a nice touch.
Disliked Only has the one shower but this did not greatly impact our stay.
