This is a quiet, friendly campsite located in a beautiful village, attached to an excellent pub serving good food. Staff are consistently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness. Facilities, including toilets and showers, are generally reported as clean, though some visitors suggest they are basic and could benefit from updating or are insufficient when the site is busy. Dog owners appreciate the dedicated walking area. Some minor issues noted include overflowing bins and occasional Wi-Fi signal weakness.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Lovely site at the back of a great pub, friendly and helpful staff
Electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely site at the back of a great little pub with a lovely garden. Nice roomy pitches grass pitches with the option of electicity on some pitches. Good location. Pub staff were really helpful and friendly.
Disliked Unisex facilities, only 2 toilets and 2 showers, really not sufficient when sharing. Both toilet seats were loose and the showers could do up a good clean and update.
The organisation with the hardstanding pitches in the grass section was a bit of a shambles, as there were access issues once one motorhome was in place.

Would book again!
Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely friendly staff, beautiful village, great walks for the dog with miles and miles of footpaths around the local orchards, quiet campsite.
Disliked My original pitch was basically impossible to get into! Very heavily laden pear tree, which could do with a good pruning, a caravan with its butt half over the pitch on one side, and a massive tent set up with guy ropes everywhere encroaching on the other side. Luckily there was another pitch available and I was put in there for my one night.

Brilliant site with lots of character in a beautiful village.
Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked The best thing about the Masons is the staff, what a brilliantly friendly and helpful team. We sadly witnessed them being treated very badly by some motorhomers who were drunk and abusive, but the staff carried themselves very well and bent over backwards to make our stay enjoyable. The pub itself is great, friendly locals and good pub food. I look forward to returning very soon.
Disliked I disliked nothing but people should read the reviews to ensure they aren't surprised by the limited toilets/showers etc. This is a pub site and not a CACC site with all the bells and whistles.
