Liked: We brought a four man tent and pitched up in the meadow on the hill - the views were gorgeous, and we had the best view of the milky way and a few shooting stars. Lizzie is brilliant, we brought our grumpy little jack russell with us and she was so good with him, he even had a run around with her own two dogs. The facilities are perfect - very well equipped campers kitchen, very clean toilets with compost system. All very eco friendly. We absolutely loved the peacefulness of this place and would highly recommend. We will definitely be returning.

Liked: Incredibly peaceful location. Gentle country views from the field we camped in. I found the gentle sound from the turbines lulled me to sleep! Lots of space to pick a nice camping spot. Close to Inchigeelagh lake for kayaking. We didn’t use the kitchen but it looked as if it had all that you would need. The covered outdoor sitting area would be a great place to sit if the weather wasn’t good or for some shade. The shower area was immaculate and the hottest shower we had used in our experience of campsites this year. The compost toilet has instructions for use inside the cubicle on the wall. I would suggest having them in large print in other areas and outside the toilet to enable new users to understand how to use it before they go in.
Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: I really liked the peaceful location and how accomodating the host Liz was. The amenities were pretty DIY but Liz put a lot of effort into making everything as functional and comfortable as possible. The only thing that might be a bit of a deciding factor for some was the toilet facilities are compost toilets. For me it wasn't an issue and they were well set up. The other amenities, hot showers, kitchen with outlets to charge a phone or battery were standard and clean. Lots of herbs and spices in the kitchen for cooking as well :) there was also a bbq and a games room which i didn't use but they looked great! The meadow where I pitched my tent was on a bit of a hill but it was quiet so i had my pick of a flat spot. There was another tent pitch area which I didn't see so there may have been lots of flat spots available. It looks like it could be nice for a chill group camp and bbq evening.

Liked: Lovely atmosphere and the owner, Lizzie was very friendly, helpful and eco-minded, which we really appreciated. Great to have a fully equipped kitchen and large field where we could pitch anywhere and have lots of privacy. Everything was very clean and well stocked.
Disliked: Location a bit remote and needs a good Sat Nav to find. Could do with more washing facilities and places to sit. Compost toilets were not that easy to use.

Liked: The campsite is eco-friendly, very clean and well maintained. Owner Lizzie is extremely helpful and her dogs are very friendly, our children loved them (ok, me too!). We were lucky enough to be there on an evening that Lizzie fired up the pizza oven, much enjoyed by children, and parents that didn't have to cook! Well thought out facilities, especially useful if the weather is poor. Beautiful site, good phone reception despite remote location. The campsite feels like Lizzie has done a lot of travelling and therefore considers all of the small details that make camping at her site a more comfortable experience.
