Lower Vessons View

Positiv Quiet site, lots of room. Views are superb!

Negativ Long walk to get water. Bins full, no recycling. Pitches all slope

Vom Platzbetreiber: We send a detailed email to clients advising them to bring large water carriers with them , each morning we collect empty carriers fill them and return to the pitch , we recognise this will not suit everyone but most accept the amount of space and privacy we give our clients make it impractical to provide a water supply close to each of our pitches which are approximately 50 meters apart so would require a stand pipe to each pitch which we don’t feel is in keeping with the high profile Natural experience we offer . All recycling is done by our bin provider I did notice on the occasion mentioned clients had left rubbish next to a full bin rather than walk aprox 5 meters to another half empty bin , both bins are now next to each other !

Positiv Very friendly and helpful host. Beautiful view from the field. Clean portable toilets.

Negativ Not flat pitches.

Vom Platzbetreiber: This review is factually incorrect we have flat pitches I agree some are gently sloping but the above comment is incorrect in that it implies none of our pitches are flat we offer a semi wild camping experience which in its self may remind clients very few fields are snooker table flat fortunately as you can see from the majority of the reviews we get that are 10/10 slopping pitches are seldom a problem most clients are astounded by the amount of space and privacy we offer between pitches

Positiv Simple camp field. Great views and a helpful owner.

Positiv Huge distance between pitches, complete isolation, ability to have a good campfire, amazing views

Positiv Fantastic views from a remote feeling, wild camp site. Very quiet, tranquil and off the beaten track. Loved it.

Positiv Amazing views, huge pitches, clean toilets, access to footpath and woodland, ability to have a fire.

Negativ Sloping pitch (would be fine with chocks), long bumpy track for access (small cars may struggle).

Vom Platzbetreiber: In the past we kept the long access track smooth and had issues with people going to fast as in 30 plus mph our speed limit is clearly signposted at 5 mph we have found the most efficient way to reduce speed is to keep the surface finish quite rough no potholes but not smooth , I try to give people options on our pitches some of those with the more stunning views may need chocks it is a personal taste issue usually we can provide some blocks of wood if needed , given we promote our site as a more wild experience we would recommend our clients carry levelling facilities with them just in case our flat pitches are not to there liking
Thanks

Positiv amazing place .....the owner nigel was great, checked on us several times , and helped get us out of the mud as car was stuck, only stayed one night as the rain was constant, but could not recommend it enough ....total peace and quiet

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Justin
Thanks for the great review under very trying weather conditions we had some sport getting you out I was amazed the Quad actually managed to do the job but you followed my instructions and did a great job in the car .
Better luck next time but we had a good laugh

Positiv We loved it here! Amazing views, lots of space, no traffic noise. The owner was really helpful, our dogs loved it (most importantly). We will definitely be back soon.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Sally
Thanks for making the effort to post here
It was great to meet you both and the dogs the weather could have been kinder but you guys coped with it in true British form 💪

Positiv Remote location with excellent views and peaceful surroundings. Dawn chorus by birds was amazing. Plenty of walking from campsite.

Negativ 1 field only offered - no 80 acres! The field is steep slope with the ground very rough so not good for tents, chemical toilet with no water, water tap located in separate field away from pitch sites. Value for money compared to other site … 1-10 =1

Vom Platzbetreiber: Well I am truly shocked by this review I can’t recall having a 2 before the weather was very trying this weekend but I got no negative feedback from any of our guests if we do something wrong I want to know so changes can be made on my twice daily visits to all pitches I ask if all is ok , all was good with everyone .

We didn’t have any solo guests on this weekend !

All were couples or families 🤔

We offered 3 fields over 35 acres
Portaloos are clearly stated in our details here they come with Gell hand cleaner we keep them very clean they are constantly checked .

Our pitches are huge and a lot of work is done to make them as smooth as possible no one complained , our land is gently sloping but our pitches are mostly flat or have flat areas within them .

All guests are made aware in our welcome text message of the water run we do and all are advised to bring large carriers with them for us to collect , fill and return to them each morning of there stay .

We do our best to offer a high standard of service whilst retaining the very natural aspects and living with Nature experience combined with the space and privacy we offer and I thank this client for his very positive review on the natural elements he experienced here .

We advise all potential clients to read our description fully to avoid any disappointments upon arrival or during there back to Nature experience stay with us .

Positiv Beautiful views in a spacious and clean campsite. Toilets readily accessible, friendly upon arrival and helpful when needed. Would certainly recommend, and would certainly return.
