Liked: The site is in a beautiful setting with fabulous scenery. We were welcomed and could choose our pitch. Peaceful and relaxing. And it’s a really nice walk to the pub.
Disliked: In the morning we were eaten alive by midges and had to go home. We chose a pitch at the top and I wondered if this is where they ‘live’ I react very badly to bites so I wish I had known. Not necessarily anyone’s fault, it’s nature, but it was upsetting not to be able to stay. It is such a lovely site. Maybe another time of year

Liked: Fantastic view, warm welcome, well signed posted to the site. Nice soft pitches, Clean and good facilities. Friendly and knowledgeable farmer. Kind enough to let me ride my bike to the pitch so it made it easier to unload. Really nice site to stay at. With some nice walks too.
Disliked: No phone signal for Vodafone. Nothing can be done about that just an FYI.

Liked: I booked this campsite to do some hiking over Christmas. When I arrived was told they were closed... however the booking and payment had been taken some weeks before.. but Steve let me camp in any case and opened up the shower and toilet block. Very much appreciated.
Disliked: Pitchup, next time make sure you don't take booking when campsite is closed...
