What customers say
This is a friendly, clean campsite set in beautiful surroundings with lovely views. Guests appreciate the helpful owners, farm animals, and the peaceful atmosphere. Facilities are basic but well-maintained, with plans for future upgrades. Some visitors noted road noise and limited shower facilities, though most found it to be excellent value and would return.

Not worth the money
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked The location and views were beautiful
Disliked Classed as dog friendly, but no real walks to take a dog …. Small enclosed space next to rusting kids playground for your dog to exercise ( on lead)… no access to stream
Toilets and solo shower were filthy with cobwebs and dirt. If they put the same amount of effort into keeping rest of site clean as they did the strip of grass outside their own mobile home it would be better.
Atmosphere was just off

From the manager: Thank you for your review just to answer some points.
1. There are more than enough walks for dogs you can walk at least 30 miles without hitting a road or bumping into a person up the hills and tracks right outside campsite.
2. The enclosed dog area is suitable for dogs off lead, we ask for no dogs to be off a lead around the campsite due to livestock and not everyone liking dogs.
3 the play park is not ours it is council owned and part of ewes halls we have just put a gate in so children do not have to go near the road to access the park.
4. We both work full time as well as run the site we do heavily rely on campers to clean up after themselves in the shower, and the toilets and showers are outside so as fast I get rid of the cobwebs they do return it is a never ending job.
5 I have not been to your house and insulted yours so please do not insult mine, yes there are a few weeds and tools outside the static which do get cleared when we get chance, again this is our home please do not insult it.
6 if the atmosphere was not right for you maybe visit a 10/10 site in the future thank you.

Liked Easy to find
Disliked As soon as we arrived the atmosphere was not very nice. We had a big group of people staying next to us with very loud music and obviously intent on having a party. The toilets etc were pretty awful and we chose to leave
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review, there was no music in the 5 minutes you decided to stay as we where out on the tuk tuk checking the area at the time you arrived and left, the toilets are cleaned at least 4 times a day more when we are not working our normal jobs if you spoke to us rather than ignoring us when we even said hello we may have been able to move you to another pitch if there was an issue.
Will be back in the future for another weekend retreat
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Perfect Location for a quick getaway, super views, dark skies, animals, river, trees, hills and walks nearby. Lovely owners.
Disliked Not really a dislike but the facilities need updating or expanding, we understand that may be difficult being on a small holding farm though.
