Liked Our first family camping trip ❤️ Everything was wonderful! The views were beautiful, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the campsite was spacious. It was also nice to see other campers around. One thing my family especially loved was that “little spring” near our pitch, the gentle sound of the water at night was so relaxing. My kids had a great time, and we’re already planning our next adventure! Thank you, Watertop….we’ll definitely be back! ☺️

Liked The entire place was amazing.. the scenery, the camp site the amenities were all 1st class. The site was so clean and we enjoyed all the walks available. Showers and toilets were very clean.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked WOW WOW WOW. What a fantastic place. I am an amputee and everything was brilliant for me very accessible. We where made to feel so welcoming. My wife went to see the sheep on the farm being sheered and the farmer and his son explained everything when they were sheering them . What a beautiful tranquil place. I'm originally from northern Ireland but haven't been back for many a year but places and people like this make me home sick. Thank you for a fabulous stay .
Disliked Nothing at all
Amazingly scenic campsite, great for families
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The animals, lovely walks, the cottage for rainy evenings, the lovely owners. The bathroom, showers and kitchen. The mini golf. Very well maintained site, beautifully situated.
Disliked The wind, which obviously can't be helped, but maybe some more sheltered pitches could be created down the bottom of the field

Long walk to loo from tent pitch
Tent pitch too close to next campers need more space between pitches
Needs a good freshen around the little play park,golf etc alot of maintenance Needs to be done all over grown not kept well,
Hut with tables chairs closed would do well to open sell toasties drinks etc
No one on site to talk to about anything or for help
Thousands of midges
From the manager: Thanks for leaving a review. All of our showers are individual cubicles - 1/2 shower enclosure 1/2 space to change so each is private with its own sink, mirror and locked door. There are a couple of hooks and a wee folding seat to set things on (tucked under the sink for space) but we will consider how we can improve the hanging space. The facilities are cleaned daily but there is a mop provided to dry the floor in between should you need to, but not everyone does!
We live on the farm so there is usually some-one around and contact numbers displayed at the check in area in case we are off site or you need anything. Having self service check in means guests are free to arrive at any time, not worrying about rushing to get here.
Ah the midges, unfortunately not much we can do about them but I'll take your feedback on board :)
