Great campsite
Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (woodland)
Liked Lovely woodland setting with good toilet facilities for the number of people and friendly staff. We bought some wood for the firepit on a cold night.

Great site, great facilities.
Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (woodland)
Liked Perfect forest location, plenty of space and fire pits beside the pitch area. There's plenty of space between the pitches too.
Toilets were spotless and showers were also spotless and plenty hot water.
Disliked We arrived well before 7pm but there was no one around at reception and no allocated pitches so just weren't sure where to go. Handy information at reception though, and we just chose a pitch and got set up.

Very enjoyable stay - will return.
Shepherd's hut
Liked Friendly helpful staff, location woodland walks, reception room, clean toilets & showers, hideaway aspect - seclusion & privacy, fire pit & wood burner free logs, cotton bedding, decor, gas hob, crockery & utensils.

Worth every penny.
Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (woodland)
Liked Nice set up. It was quiet when i visited with it being the very start of the season. Ben (i think that was his name) was very helpful. Pitches were good. Logs for the fire were a little large so bring an axe or a good knife!
Disliked The sitting area around the fires was just pure mud as the grass has been worn away. Thankfully it was dry when i visited but imagine in the wet its very muddy!

From the manager: Thank you for your review - woodland camping .We are sorry the logs were on the large size, we do have a log splitter on site where a member of staff can assist with this.
Excellent site, friendly atmosphere with excellent staff service!!
Bell tent
Liked Staff were super friendly, easy to talk with. Had a great convo with them. A lot of freedom around the site, no feeling of being unwelcome. Felt like meeting up with friends.
We rented a bell tent. Very clean! Wood provided on site if needed. They offered us sleeping bags and other necessities if we needed them and did not expect anything for it which was fantastic and provides an amazing atmosphere.
Facilities on site were excellent. Water was easy with toilet and shower facilities close to the tent.
Beautiful scenery all around and very little noise from things such as cars and loud unnatural noises.
We were free to come and go as we pleased with no time restriction on the site. Our belongings were secure as there are cameras in certain parts of the site. Do not panic, there are no cameras around your camping area.

Cosy shepherd's hut, great facilities, beautiful location
Shepherd's hut
Liked We had a lovely stay at Ace Hideaways, the shepherd's itself was very comfy and cosy - the log burner did a fantastic job of keeping it warm. After a couple of nights of wild camping before we arrived it was pure luxury.
The location of our shepherd's hut was beautiful, surrounded by really nice diverse woodland which was full of birds and wildlife. We couldn't see anyone else from our spot and it really felt like we were alone in the woods, even though the shower and toilet block was no more than a 5 minute walk away!
The showers and toilets were very clean, and there was always hot water. The parking throughout the site was great, and although other reviews have mentioned the lane it was really well maintained - my car is pretty low and I had no trouble at all.
All of the staff were very friendly and helpful, we felt welcome from the minute we arrived.
The surrounding area has lots to offer too, if you're into nature and walking this is the perfect base as there's so many different habitats to explore in the area.
We'll definitely be back!
