Liked: The photos do not do this little gem justice!! It’s the most stunning place to relax and catch up with friends or family. I’ve travelled a lot and spent a lot of time on various campsites and this one has to be in the top three! The toilets, shower and washing facilities are clean and well looked after. They even had a beach which our dogs enjoyed the best! The owners are very welcoming and couldn’t have been more helpful and kind. There is even WiFi everywhere which is a bonus if you need somewhere to go to work from your campervan for a few days. I honestly couldn’t have been had a better time. Thank you.
Disliked: There is nothing to dislike unless you are smoked out by neighbours BBQing at 11pm right next to your tent! And then shouting and laughing loudly and being woken twice. I wasn’t at all happy. BBQs after 8pm in my opinion shouldn’t be allowed as it really did spoil my last night. Again this isn’t the owners fault.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Most fabulous campsite we have ever stayed at, the locations and site in general is beautiful and very well put together. Even when camping we felt like we had our own little site during to the way the grass is cut so everyone has there own little section Brilliant facilities very clean, lo ley little river area with sand pit and dammed off pool for the kids to play safely and a big communal tent that was a life saver from the rain and son. The hosts couldn't have been more friendly and helpful and we would 100% recommend this site to anyone it is a not to miss 5*
Disliked: Absolutely nothing
