Penhill Park

Positiv The view from the campsite. If I were to rank all the campsites I’ve stayed at so far, this one would have the best view.

Negativ Toilets without flushing and a shower area without hot water.
Whoever invented these waterless toilets, whenever I see one, I have a lot to say to the inventor and to those who use them at the campsite.

Although it may seem environmentally friendly, I would say it is a completely rubbish and useless invention.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Why did you even bother booking onto our site then? It’s quite clear on the listing that we have composing toilets. Where do you think the waste is going to flush to in the middle of a field? You literally booked a site that is advertised as a ‘nearly wild’ campsite. We don’t want you to come back and use our ‘rubbish’ toilets and our toilets think your review is useless.

Positiv Nice quiet location with great views.

Negativ As soon as we opened the van doors we were besieged by flies! The van was covered in them, inside and out. There was no possibility to sit outside and enjoy the evening so sadly we had to move on and find a new site. An expensive night!

Vom Platzbetreiber: Unfortunately due to it being so dry and then has rained the cooler and damp and weather then becoming humid, does create a nice an environment for all kinds of different flies, pulling up in a hot van is basic science as flies are attracted to heat. They would have cleared off eventually given the chance. Sitting within the open countryside and given our site is a working farm, which is clearly advertised as so, there is an element of risk of insect life. To give us a 1 as an overall score when you’ve not made use of any of the facilities or actually spent any time here is very unfair. We have many 9 & 10/10 reviews and people have had the best experience with many people returning.

Positiv Peaceful

Positiv A gorgeous campsite - stunning views, nice and peaceful, basic but good facilities. The cows walking to the milked each morning was lovely! The Tipi tent was really welcomed as a place to play boardgames in the evening.

Negativ It would be good to have soap available at the sinks!

Positiv Lovely place, beautiful view over the valley. Loved the eco toilets.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for choosing our campsite. There is a separate dishwashing sink? There’s two porcelain handwashing sinks between the toilets and two steel sinks past the showers for washing up?

Positiv We loved the views and the popcorn milkshake !
The campsite is simple but has the facilities we required . Well done on building a great set up of porcelain sinks and fab composting toilets. The showers worked well , you just need to turn off when it goes cold and then back again to reignite the flame. ( I think that’s what was going on ! )

Even when it was busy we never queued
Lovely to be able to walk the dogs on the track above and be surrounded by sheep and cows

Positiv A basic but excellent site with stunning views. We were blessed with the weather so enjoyed every second ☀️
Site was well maintained and basic facilities were clean and in good working order.

Negativ Paid extra for a fire pit but had to bring own kindling and wood. Seemed quite expensive but we appreciated it.
