This is a friendly and welcoming campsite with exceptionally helpful staff and good value for money. Guests praised the attached pub for its excellent food and atmosphere.

Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Amazing campsite and outstanding pub.
Corner non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked A really lovely campsite. The staff were amazing, friendly and one female staff member in particular was always full of smiles and great energy. The campsite is clean, well spaced pitches and great facilities. The pub food is absolutely outstanding and we would have expected to pay a lot more for such amazing food. A great site for anyone but especially for kids with the amount of free space they have, the huge beer garden and the play park at the back of the field (plus the amount of passing tractors is always fun for the kids) We can’t wait to return.

Liked Nice pitches
Very friendly staff in pub
Great location for getting to popular tourist spots
Disliked Toilets and showers not great. One shower out of order so left one single shower plus family shower for entire site of maybe 100+ people. 2 toilets and one had no light.
No washing up area
Invest in a modest but modern toilet and shower block and this would be a fantastic site.
