Syntes om: Great communication before and during stay. Antony was very accommodating with requests and knowledge of local area. Site has a lovely walk through a gate onto a vineyard to the local pub the Purleigh Bell . Lovely old pub and very friendly. Purleigh community shop had everything you needed and more to stock up for your stay . Again very welcoming and friendly. Had EHU and flushing toilet to use . Also a cold water washing up unit .

Syntes ikke om: New guests turning up at 11.30am when it clearly states on imformation check in is 2pm . We had arranged with Antony to stay a little later on plot till 12 /1pm as new guests should not have arrived till 2pm . Obviously this is completely out of Antony's control.

Fra bestyreren: Dear Paula, Many thanks for the glowing review and we hope to see you again, at some stage. Kind regards Anthony

Syntes om: We stayed for two nights and it is a perfect site for us, basic, campfire and a pub you can walk to in 15 minutes with excellent views on top of the hill. Anthony was very accommodating, my husband needed to go to hospital and Anthony drove my husband to the hospital and then checked in on us the next morning, we were very grateful, we will go back.

Fra bestyreren: Dear Kyla, Many thanks for the review. I very much hope that your husband is on the mend and hope to see you both again. Kind regards Anthony

Syntes om: Quiet site. Nice walk up the hill and along to the local pub. Also a well stocked community shop around the corner.

Syntes ikke om: First impression is a high gate which it completely boarded so you can't see through it. Chain and combination padlock fixed to the top of the gates which means that you have to have your arms stretched up to reach the padlock while turning the numbers. You would not be able to do this if you were less than 5'4" Drinking water tap is next to the tap over the Elsen point. Spiggot on drinking water tap was broken so could not fix a hose. Tap over Elsen point sprayed water everywhere when pushed on. Wouldn't cost too much to fix these issues and would then be a nice site.

Fra bestyreren: Hi John, Many thanks for taking the time to review and glad that you enjoyed the quiet location and wonderful walks and pub. I think if you were 4'10", you may struggle with the lock, as the gate is 5' 10" and the lock hangs down to about 5' 6". I am not sure what your point is about the separate taps. The drinking water tap is about 6' from the Chemical disposal point tap, which is the requirement, so all correct, in my view. We would have appreciated your comment about the spraying tap when you were here, as it was easily fixed with a new tap. Kind regards

Syntes om: Great communication ahead of arriving at the camp site. I requested to be aware from other campers as I was travelling with my dog who's anxious and in training and Anthony was very accommodating. It was easy to find the campsite (clear signs for entry) and I used the what3words app to get the direct location. It's a secure site with access through a locked gate. The pitch was great, I had plenty of space for my car and tent. There's a sink for washing up, and taps for refilling on water and the toilet was clean and pleasant. Woke up to a wonderful sunrise over the hill.

Syntes ikke om: If you're coming as a backpacker/minimal camping gear, the ground isn't super even for cooking. It'd be great if there was a makeshift sort of bench/table for the tent areas to safely cook. The check-in time on the website said until 8.30pm but someone arrived around 11pm and their headlights shone right through the tent - this is not a fault of the site owners just a suggestion to bring an eye mask (and ear plugs) to get the best night sleep.

Fra bestyreren: Dear Gemma, Many thanks for the review. We have taken your constructive comments on board and I agree that it's frustrating when people completely ignore the check-in times. It's also difficult to police. Kind regards Anthony

Syntes om: A pleasant experience. Host/campsite manager was super helpful and informative by text of local facilities and instructions on entry. I worried when I saw a portaloo exterior but the toilet was proper with flush and was clean and stocked. We followed a beautiful path signposted to the local pub up to a gorgeous vineyard, church and watched the sunrise with lovely views. Whst a local find. Perfect for our 1 night stay.

Syntes ikke om: If we were here on holiday and wanted to stay a good few nights we would need somewhere else with a shower.
