Liked: Camp ground was well maintained, grass cut and no rubbish. Good, flat site with rural views. Toilet and shower acceptable. No frills, no hook-ups and just how we like it. Adjoining pub is comfortable and spacious. Food looked good and many were eating but we didn't, as only on site for one night as passing through. Will use again, longer stay next time.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Travelled with my teen daughter. Flat site, pitch where you like! Behind a lovely pub where there was BBQ food one night and was very reasonably priced! Very quiet, close to attractions like Longleat.
Disliked: Only one toilet for the whole site and only one shower which was PAYG! No running hot water in the toilet cubicle (more of an out house but clean and tidy) and no hot water at the camp kitchen sink. So the shower was the only place to get hot water. Although the site wasn’t massively busy when we were there I wouldn’t expect there to be enough facilities to cope with a full site . Shower was also temperamental and the owner had to come and sort it out!

Liked: Loved the homemade steak and ale pie, very friendly staff and the hot shower was very welcome. I genuinely would recommend the site.
Disliked: The only thing that could be improved apon is the hot shower which takes two one pound coins, I was undressed put the money into the slot and one coin did not register for whatever reason, meaning that I had to get dressed walk to the car and get another coin. So the moral of the story take a spare coin to the shower. The hot shower was wonderful.
