Syntes om Friendly owner, basic facilities but everything I needed. Nice flat grass pitches with convenient water points and firepits. Limited number of fancier pitches that looked well thought out.

Syntes om Large pitch area with water, sink and bin behind. Pre-positioned firepit in the centre of the grass pitch. Toilets were clean. Hardly any cell service so it's easy to switch off and unwind.

Syntes ikke om Overgrown grass, but to be expected in winter. We found a way around it.

Syntes om Honestly not alot

Syntes ikke om Poorly signposted, not greeted whole stay,
It’s a poorly maintained field!
Looks like a traveller/scrap site, not welcoming at all. Toilet lorry was tucked behind vans/cars next to a rotting old bus, hence to say I didn’t use the lorry, access up to loos & makeshift steps/ ramp is poor slippery & no handrail.
Grass doesn’t look like it’s ever cut so gets dragged inside van. The washing up bowls are filthy & clogged with allsorts.
Next to busy noisy road .
Would not class this a campsite unfortunately I’d already paid for it.
Saw others pull up & leave .
I’m quite happy to rough it but paying for this is robbery.

Fra bestyreren: Heather,

We normally regard an 8/10 as a bad review!

You've identified on the review heading as 'solo female traveller' but the booking was for two adults and I'm sure I saw two in your van?
However, worth noting that I an cautious not to invade the space of solo female travellers and we hope we offer a safe space for, and encourage, all solo travellers.

The directions emailed are very specific on how to get here. A Google Earth picture, written directions, What3words etc. There's pictures of the entrance and signage on the booking site. Not sure what else you feel is needed? I appreciate it was dark when you arrived. We don't illuminate the entrance to avoid disturbing wildlife and masking the the night sky with light pollution.

We're having our house rebuilt after a fire so have to keep our vehicles on the campsite rather than by the house. They're up near the toilet block away from the pitches. The bus isn't rotting, he's just waiting for his new purpose.

I did come out to see you in the morning and I chatted to your neighbours. You didn't come out of your van even though the door was open. I stopped and said hello to your dog and waited. There was quite a strong ammonia type smell coming from your van so maybe you were occupied.

The toilet and shower lorry is a converted horse transporter. The rear ramp is specifically designed not to be slippery when wet and muddy and is raised to have a low angle. The steps into the shower are standard for the vehicle and do have added handles. There are plenty of pictures on the booking site so this should not have been a surprise. In fact, there's plenty of pictures of everything so nothing should have been a surprise.

Grass does tend to grow when the weather is wet and warm. If it had been dry and I was able to cut it, you would have complained about the grass cuttings being dragged into your van. The middle of the field is allowed to grow long and is cut for hay once a year. The margins around the site are left to grow long to give wildlife to have a habitat. This has been successful and we now have Barn Owls and Kestrels as regular visitors. The hedgerows are sparingly cut and we now have lots of different bird species thriving. I guess you wouldn't hear them over the TV.

The washing up sinks are outside and next to a hedgerow. This time of year leaves are falling from the trees and will land in the sinks, so leaves, berries and twigs will quickly build up. Not sure what the inference is with "all sorts".

The site has flushing toilets, hot showers, fire pits, washing up facilities and you don't class it as a campsite! Again, there's enough pictures for you to see that we are not Butlins.

You say you saw "others pull up and leave". Are you are trying to say that in the 4-5 hours of daylight on a Sunday morning, in November, you saw random, non booked potential campers arrive and change their minds and leave? I think you are very mistaken.

We have many return campers and glampers and we are happy that what we describe ourselves as, and what we deliver is accurate and value for money.
