Beautiful quiet surroundings. Very friendly welcome. Good but basic facilities.
Chickens in the next field and you could buy fresh eggs.

Nice setting. Friendly welcome. Not too busy.

Overly priced for the facilities provided. I appreciate it's been a difficult year but this site charged double what I paid last year for a site with full facilities.

A field with two composting toilets, a standpipe and kitchen sink just doesn't offer enough for what they are charging. £10 per night per pitch would have been more appropriate than the £40 a night charged. This is taking advantage of a situation where other sites are booked out due to everyone staycating.

Host was very friendly and helpful

Nothing really

Called owner on arrival was greeted by a lovely young lady who took us to our pitch in the overflow field we had lots of space and showed us where toilets etc where. Was able to purchase logs for fire which she brought straight around.
Toilets, washing up area was very clean! Lovely sign which gave us info on where to buy local eggs, milk, cheese etc from and inspiration for local places to visit.
My children loved watching the horses and chickens approach fence next to our tent!

The field is lovely and open, plenty of walks nearby and enough privacy even on a busy bank holiday.

The toilets are basic but they work, very clean and convenient.

Elie was very helpful and understanding with our questions and very laid back which was perfect.

We had a big group and everyone really enjoyed the stay.

Fresh eggs available from the farm, firepits and logs too!

Lovely clean campsite and facility’s. Plenty of space between pitches . Eli was a warm welcoming host and we’ll definitely be going back.

We had a lovely time. The campsite was very clean and tidy. Large pitches in a field surrounded by hills, with free range chickens (be warned, fence is electric!). We were met by Ellie who gave us a warm welcome, pub recommendation and loaned us a fire pit for £5/ night. The campsite is relatively small and the pitches are large, plenty of space to spread out and only a few other tents.
Feel I should give another view to the bad review left here. Whilst facilities are undeniably basic, the compost toilets are immaculately clean, and only smelt of sawdust and fresh wood from the cute (finished) hut they are in - complete with fairy lights and vase of fake flowers for decoration. There is a large sink for washing up / hand washing. The owner was friendly and helpful and not in any way rude. £40 per pitch per night is perhaps a little higher than expected - but given everywhere else in the country was booked up this weekend we didn’t mind, and had a great time.

Nothing

Had everything we needed and Elie was extremely helpful and welcoming.

Composting toilet is fine when everyone remembers where to aim. Not nice sitting on a wet seat!
