Liked: The owners were very friendly, explaining everything. The site had only just opened for the season and I was the only one camping but felt very safe. Off ground fire pits were at each pitch, but you need to purchase your wood there, which is fair. Free WiFi around the tasting room /toilets. The cider was VERY good.
Disliked: The showers could do with a couple of little touches such as pegs for towels and a shelf for toiletries. Also a small hole in the door needs filling for privacy. These are very minor points though.

Liked: Beautiful setting with well maintained facilties and tranquil private pitches
Disliked: Too few facilities for the number of people booked in - 4 units providing shower and toilets between them was not enough for the 22 cars/camper vans there when we stayed

Liked: The size of pitches were brilliant between the apple trees , nice and private, ample space. Lovely supplied fire pits. A great cider pub with WiFi and ample outside benches.
Disliked: To get there the post code should be DT6 5HZ and not DT6 5FT, quite daunting as the narrow lanes have high hedgerows. No WiFi on the actual pitches and a poor mobile signal. Although WiFi supplied at the pub. So a bit misleading. Check-in on Pitchup says 09:00 but leaflet giving at the site says between 12:00 and 19:00. Fortunately we could check-in at 09:00 so happy.
