Liked: The campsite is incredible, the views are like something from a film and is one of the reasons why we chose this site from looking at everyone else’s reviews/pictures and it did not disappoint. Toilets had everything you needed, and showers are being built, our stay was only short so we freshened up by the river and brought own toiletries etc. Super friendly and helpful staff, and other campers were lovely! Already recommended to a ton of family and friends, as they’ve seen the pics and want in, definitely get booking for the summer months! We can’t wait to go back. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Liked: Lots of area to choose from with well maintained toilet amenities and drinking water. Looks like lots of work is going on to try and improve the drainage as well.
Disliked: Would be amazing with shower faculties which I think are on the way.

From the manager: Hello Janice So sorry you did not enjoy your stay. The weather has been so bad this spring, and over the winter. I have never known it to be so wet. we have put in an huge amount of work to drain the site and build firm foot paths to and from toilets. We are now reseeding the grass IN the late spring and summer, when the weather is better, all the inconveniences you experienced will be gone
Lovely simple campsite

Liked: On the river. Clean facilities.
Disliked: Younger host not very welcoming, almost seemed annoyed to help. Gate with difficult padlock to access campground along with false lock code provided on host door. Zero privacy even with limited campers on site.

From the manager: We are glad you enjoyed camping by the river, There are some special secluded pitches on the river bank We are a family run campsite with three generations contributing to the smooth running of the place... ages from 7 to 77. We thoroughly enjoy sharing our special location with our guests and enjoy meeting all the varied campers who come. You can usually expect a very warm welcome In order to ensure we only have good, pleasant campers we keep the entrance gate locked, the gate code posted on the Farm house door is correct. THe campsite is a large area, guest can choose to be close to others or in a secluded more private spot on their own . Anyone disturbed by inconsiderate behaviour by neighbours are encouraged to let us know. We are happy to neighbours who are being a nuisance. Fortunately it does 'nt happen often.

Liked: The site was gorgeous with plenty of space between pitches(though this may be down to the time if year).
Disliked: Pathway to the toilets was in need for a little re-do but it was just about manageable in the lovely UK February weather.
