Liked: Very nice site. Well maintained. Well thought out. Owners have done a great job. The camping field is past all the cabins. Good size. Don’t think you will ever be on top of other campers. One side is by a stream which is nice. Grass is not cut but left for the sheep to maintain which was fine for me. Owners seem to take note of the reviews as they have built a small hut with sink and water. Toilets and showers really nice. Heated and clean. Couple of mins walk which was not a problem. The best value for money basic camping site I have stayed at.
Disliked: Alot of sheep droppings to navigate (minor). Directions and pointer on map could be more accurate. Drove up and down the lane couple of times. Only half mile at most from main road. Frosty reception from owner when I went to pay in the morning before leaving (as agreed by phone the day before). May be it was the fact I was on a motorcycle.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Clean, neat and tidy. Level pitches. Good facilities.
Disliked: I was camping in a field with sheep. They were in lush grass and so was I. Sheep do what they have to do so selecting a bit of clean ground was essential. Nowhere evident to leave rubbish. In a car this would not be a problem but for a cycle camper it was awkward.

Liked: Pictures don’t do this site justice. Very clean modern site with excellent clean showers /toilets. Local shops within 5 min drive.
Disliked: Could do with more bins. Grass on camping area was long and found it difficult to pitch tent.

Liked: liked everything. Camping bye the river was idyllic. The facilities are spotless, and we were made to feel very Welcome by Clare. We stayed two nights and will be going back soon. Sat by the river you can see the kingfishers flying pass at speed, red Kite above and if your lucky maybe hear the Peacock. Best read detailed instruction on how to find this, it is very easy to find but some folk do have trouble. So from the camping field the facilities are a short walk and also washing up facilities just outside camping field. All very clean.
Disliked: Nothing.
