Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked: Oh wow! What a lovely, lovely site…. A very peaceful site. Pitch sizes very generous we were on a fully serviced pitch. The grounds were immaculately maintained everything was very well thought of and some lovely touches around the site. A lovely welcome by the owners! Really good well stocked little shop and a pub onsite. A different food van each night. The grounds are lovely and lots of walks in the area. Nothing to fault, we were there less than 2 hrs and we’d rebooked! Says it all!! Oh and showers, hot hot hot! :)
Disliked: Wifi reception not great we couldn’t connect at all but didn’t affect our stay.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for the top score and the lovely review and recommendation. We will look forward to seeing you here again. The Wi-Fi is a work in progress, as we are using satellite sky-link. We are too far away to have fibre optic. The wifi will be improved over the season as additional repeaters are added to the system as the finesse the footprint.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked: Loved it, the shower and toilets were clean as a whistle as was the whole camp. WiFi at the pitch was a surprise but a welcome one. We enjoyed Monty's bar aswell. Lovely beers on tap to. Close enough to town and shops but far enough asset back so no noise and in the woods. Adult only too which is a great plus. Overall 10/10
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Clean toilets, showers and shop. Area was ok lots of places to visit. Good customer service
Disliked: Bar only open till 8 pm was a disappointment we don't want to go to bed at 8 pm. There was lots of vacant places don't understand why we had to book 5 days when we would of preferred 4 this shouldn't be dictated how long you have to stay.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you Anita. We do hope you come again. Monty's bar is for a late afternoon, early evening drink. We are not a pub, so we do close at 8.30pm for the peace and tranquillity of the park. We do have the Woodman and the St Leonards pubs that you can walk to from the park. Christmas and New Year are high season due to demand. That is why we have a 5 night minimum stay. We were completely full for New Year so maybe the empty pitches were customers out for the day in Motor homes? Many thanks and I hope you do come again.
Booked for New Year next year clean site well run NO road noise

Liked: Quiet pitch size of pitch no noise. Friendly site nice bar area.
Disliked: Not great selection foods in shop but it was end season. Milk went off quickly. But loved site we left day early due to storm brewing. Would off preferred to stay for New Year but said no spaces.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hi Gillian. Thank you for the review. The shop is only a small shop for essentials, so we cant stock a huge range. However we have many supermarkets all in a small drive from us. New Year is very popular and sells out fast. We are already half sold for 2024 New year, so if you want to join us get booked in soon.

Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for the review and the top score. We do have low lighting at the park and sensor lighting for the shower blocks, but we wont put street lighting up as we have so many customers who enjoy the starts and the lack of light pollution. We would always recommend a torch for night time walking. Many thanks

Liked: Perfect pitch size well maintained grounds and shower/toilets. Having stayed there in winter with frost on the ground it was an amazing place to stay. We enjoyed walking through the forest and around the lovely ponds it had a lovely christmas feel. There is a very large picnic area with amazing views. Food vendors are a great plus we didn’t use the outside bar although it looked snug with the heaters and people had blankets. We are looking forward to returning in spring/ summer

Liked: We loved everything about this place. The location, the check in, the facilities, the pitches... Everything was brilliant. The place even has WiFi that did not totally suck and was accessible form the van. In fact, my wife and I thought that it was one of the best places we've stayed in the campervan. Full stop. Great work thanks for a lovely stay.

From the manager: Thank you Luke. Our pleasure. If you liked it so much on a rainy day in December you should come back in the Spring. You will be blown away at how beautiful it is then. Do come again.
