Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The shower works well.
Disliked: The grass was quite long, meaning that you feel lumps under the tent. The field had lots of animal poop. Nowhere to wash dishes apart from the toilet.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked: Liked the pond, the remote field, the calm, yet the proximity to Exeter. The shower was warm and pleasant. Toilet was fine with loo roll and blue roll supplied. The owner was welcoming but not intrusive.
Disliked: The one toilet and the one shower doors do not lock. Not a problem as there were few campers but could prove awkward at busy times. Could be cleaner or improve with a bit of TLC but overall ok.
