Bell tent
Liked: Bell tent was lovely and spacious, as a first experience for my little boy, he loved it! Beautiful views, tranquil and good for the soul environment. Annabel was lovely and very welcoming.
Disliked: The only dislike is people pitching very close to you which didn’t make it a very peaceful experience.

Liked: What a wonderful site. The views were gorgeous and it is a perfect location for exploring the surrounding area with so many place to go, and lovely walks straight from the site. The facilities were excellent and the best thing was being able to choose our own pitch and not feel crowded. We will be back.

Bell tent
Liked: Nice views, bell tent was lovely. spacious pitches.
Disliked: We had a disposable barbeque and struggled to find anything to lift it of the ground to save the grass. other sites have some brick piles around to use for this purpose maybe it would be a good idea as i noticed a few people were having the same issue.

Liked: Stunning views and a peaceful location. Owners were very friendly and pleasant. Showers were absolutely lovely and hot every time. Enjoyed the stay and fire pit use, keeping us warm and cosy as the sun went down. Great location, local to nearby beaches and attractions.

Liked: Wonderful remote location with spectacular views of almost 360 degrees. View of Chesil Beach, sea and lush farmland. Just a few sheep in the field next door bleeping away. Long drop compost toilets clean and well managed. Superb showers. Rustic but very hot and cleverly designed. Delightful. Pleasant sink area for pots. Very spacious site. We loved everything.
Disliked: Nothing
