Positiv Friendly Host, easy access to our pitch and perfect location in the orchard.
Very peaceful site surrounded by nature and nice communal area with decent toilet and shower facilities.
Orchard area has tap water and a compost toilet nearby

Negativ The road in to the site is very bumpy but just drive slowly and it will be fine.
Compost toilet isn't great but saves a walk to the facilities.

Positiv The owners are amazing always happy to help and welcoming. The site is quiet and clean. Woodlands are all around and there’s a walnut grove where you can pitch up in and it’s beautiful. Would go back (hopefully soon)

Positiv First time camping in 40 years, went with my two boys, wasn't sure what to expect. Positives from my particular perspective: The site was beautiful, with great views, countryside picturesqueness, woodland trees, and an orchard on the campsite.
The hosts are very friendly, welcomed us and were always available throughout. We bought firewood from them and really enjoyed having a campfire each night by the tent.
The facilities are two toilets and two showers in a modified section of the farmhouse, a bit rough-hewn perhaps but the kids thought it was adventurous. Outside is a sink with hot water for washing pots.
Nearby the hosts have set up a sheltered social area for gathering and chatting, with interesting mechanical artworks on display.
Loved being able to sit each night and skygaze, listen to the birds, watch the swallows skimming the grass for bugs, and greeting the horses in the neighbouring field. Little one found a newt and a frog in the grass and thought that was great.
Had a fab two-night break. I'd say this site is rustic and close-to-nature. Will definitely consider visiting again next year.

Negativ I don't like writing negatives, but if I were to make a few suggestions to improve the experience for someone like me (late forties, two kids, not a regular camper), I would suggest firstly to keep the grass mown short. It came up above our ankles in places and made trudging to the facilities harder than it needed to be. Kids couldn't play so well in the free areas.
The social gathering area is accompanied by music, played on an outdoor system. Not particularly loud, but audible from half the site. We were pitched down the slope so couldn't hear it, and it was probably inaudible from the orchard too. If you're looking for a quiet camping experience, make sure you pitch up away from the main building.
As mentioned, it's been a few years since I last went camping, and on reflection I think the price was a little high for what we got. I expected slightly more complete facilities, such as lighting in the toilet block (at night you can't see much), maybe a couple of dedicated sinks for brushing teeth and washing hands (aside from the dish washing kitchen sink), and maybe shower cubicles that protect you from the elements better. The quirkiness of the facilities was attractive, but perhaps less than practical.

Positiv Lovely stay at this campsite, our hosts were really friendly and always about to offer advice on the surrounding area. The site is rustic but I loved that, would go back.

Positiv Tranquility - sitting in the meadow watching the swallows. And listening to the owls at night. This is real camping!

Negativ Nothing … just perfect :)
