Anonymous Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked I found this to be a great site, on the smaller side, which was perfect. Owner John very helpful and chatted with everyone on arrival. Was made to feel very welcome as a single female traveller. Pitches were spacious and flat. I know sites vary with users but there was a good mix of returns and newbies and quite a few of us swapped stories and had a brew and I felt that this would be a new site to visit regularly. I didnt visit the pub or shop but John explained opening times and recommended buys. The toilet/shower block was clean. Very few cars passing during the day and nothing heard overnight.
Disliked Felt recycling area was a little small but only due to one party having lots to recycle, the bins were full, not a bad thing, maybe an extra box or two may help when busy?

Disliked Absolutely terrible, do not stay here!
Was meant to stay 2 nights from 25th July, but left after 1 night due to not feeling safe with just myself (female) and my young daughter on this small site in front of owners house. They were away for the weekend and left their son in charge to go and find out who had paid, he didn't have a clue, yet there was initially only 6 of us there the first night, the other 5 swiftly left the next morning. There appears to be an odd set up with people staying on another part of the owners adjacent land. A man approached me asking if i was staying and whether the owners were home. He said he lived in one of the static caravans for part of the week. Shortly afterwards he walked his dog off lead in the site i was pitched, kept looking over at my daughter and i packing up by this point due to safety concerns.
I tried to phone the owner, no answer. The son had clearly been able to get in touch with his mother though, as i received a text stating it is a safe site with no issues before covid?? And that i must be projecting my anxieties on to my daughter?? Again, very strange, and quite rude communication.
Save yourself a journey to here and stay somewhere else. The amenities, toilet, showers are in a poor state of repair also, not worth the money.
