Liked: Booked as needed a site for an overnight stay whilst travelling down the East Coast. So glad we did. Easy to find, the site is small simple site with enough facilities - no electric hookups or WiFi. It has an amazing organic shop and a vegetarian cafe. We would definitely stay again and for more than a night.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Non-electric hardstanding and grass campervan pitch
Liked: Stunning location. Owner kindly let us use hard standing even though we booked grass, due to weather. There was plenty of room for lots of vans. Only a very small area bad pot holes, contrary to what a previous reviewer wrote. The food in the cafe was very reasonably priced considering the quality . I paid £11.00 for a caramelised Onion frittata and a huge range of salads plus a wedge of fresh baked bread and butter and a latte
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Beautiful surroundings, the toilet and shower block were very nice, spotlessly clean, washing up station was also good. £10 a night for decent toilets
Disliked: The hard standing pitch was a pothole filled car park for the expensive farm shop.
