Positiv Nice site , lovely seating and eating area.Excellent breakfast and good coffee.Service was excellent.Nice touches for the dogs, treats etc.

Negativ Would have liked to have known that parts of the pitches are on a slope and uneven as i would have brought levellers.£40 extra for an event shelter seemed excessive .

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you very much for your review. There is a slight incline on the pitch you were on. We would like to invite you again and can we suggest staying on pitch 9A or 9B as they are regular favourites.

We appreciate your lovely comments about our coffee hut and service, our staff will be delighted about the feedback.

Positiv Very quiet location with cows in the field next door for company. The facilities were excellent, the showers and toilets were clean which very important. The site was secured by a padlock which had to be set to the correct number so felt secure. It was quiet when my husband and I stayed i.e. midweek after the kids had returned to school. The site was well resourced I.e. toiletries, washing up factilites, towels, electric hook up any thing you might need but forgot to bring.

Negativ The seven page document received after booking but it is acknowledged all aspects need to be covered for legal reasons.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you very much for your feedback. Unfortunately the rather lengthy document is required due to regulations that we must uphold to ensure the safety of all guests.

We greatly appreciate your review of our facilities, and we are glad you liked the company next door!

Positiv Fantastic facilities. Great little cafe. Nicely kept campsite and big numbered pitches and lovely location. Nice pub in walking distance in the village. .

Positiv Lovely little campsite just to relax with friends

Negativ I feel that they could do with somebody being there to meet you or even popping in from time to time to just say hello , could also do with a really good clean and tidy up , could be a amazing site , feel like it needs some TLC

Vom Platzbetreiber: I am pleased you enjoyed the 'lovely little campsite', however I was disappointed to read the other comments which surprised us.

We pride ourselves on running a campsite with some nice extras and the comment about requiring a good tidy and tlc is unfounded and don't know what this refers to - the flower borders? the wood pile for the fire pits? Our café secures a 5 star food hygiene rating, this wouldn't be offered if our standards were sub standard! We are obliged to complete proper checks which we carry out and keep good records of such.

We pop up to site every day to check everything, we can't be on site all the time as there is no owner property there and we have no control over arrival times or when guests intend to go out thus we regularly miss people because of this (unless it's the weekend when we have a full team working at the café for long periods of time). We are, however, contactable 24 hours a day for any queries, concerns or just a query about the best village walks or village shop opening times, best pubs in the area etc.

For the benefit of readers, see the review below "nicely kept campsite". We have many repeat customers who love the site, it's tiny, it's quaint and we do our very best to make sure everyone is happy with the way the site is presented. The attention to detail is what we do, we want customers to return year after year and it's very disappointing to read when we fall short. We know we can't please everyone, take all comments on board and act where we believe comments are justified.

Positiv On site cafe.

Negativ Pitches are on a slight slope. Toilet facilities are shared with the public cafe when open. Advice was to bring bottled water rather than drink out the taps.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your review and thank you for visiting.

With any rural field it is advised to bring bottled water however, our taps are on the mains and we do use them, some people prefer to bring bottled water so that's why we put it in the information as a "might like to bring" Our taps are safe to use.

The café is open from 9 until 12.30 Saturday and Sunday mornings & bank holidays and or the benefit of readers, as a tiny rural site we don't have separate loo facilities for café visitors (who, surprisingly, rarely use them in the short time they visit popping in for a coffee or a breakfast roll). What I can say is there are good solid wooden doors on the showers/loos so to ensure complete privacy.

With high repeat of camping visitors who come year after year I don't think this dislike is justified as not to visit again.

Positiv Cafe on site over the weekend
Simple check in
Nice friendly staff

Negativ That is was on such a hill.
And that there was no plug sockets in the bathrooms.

Vom Platzbetreiber: I reviewed your pitch and for the benefit of readers, the "hill" is infact a gentle slope. Our flattest pitches had already been booked beforehand (a busy bank holiday weekend), others are on a slight gradient but I have never received a negative comment about the gradient in the 10 years of operating. I am sorry we fell short on your pitch allocation.

Regards to the electric sockets. There are sockets in the ladies room - two behind the small cupboard aside the long mirror and another one which operates the table lamp.

In the gents there is a socket next to the sink raised on the wall. Acting on your feedback, I will move the cupboard so the sockets are highly visible. I regret you didn't have the opportunity to ask any of my team about this at the time as we would have been very happy to point them out to you.

We look forward to welcoming you again.

Positiv Stunning place, very welcoming host, great facilities and just a really lovely vibe! We were lucky with the weather which just made it even better. Beautiful local pub, places to walk the dogs. Really highly highly recommend!
