Positiv Stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of October. Gorgeous views, changing misty landscapes in the mornings to watch with a steamy coffee. Our 9 year old loved scrambling over the slate and rocks and paddling along the shore……we did too!! The 2 dogs were worn out by nighttime due to exploring the surroundings/local area.

Lovely welcome when we arrived, everyone we encountered during our stay had a warm smile and seemed happy to chat.

Good base to explore further afield if wanted. The local area offers Wildlife, Waterfalls, Pubs/Food, Shops, Views for days…..

If you enjoy a bit of ‘Wild-ish Camping’ with lovely views and peaceful surroundings, try this site!

Thank you for a lovely long weekend! 😊

Positiv It's a double edged sword, I want to sing their praises from the stars but I also want to keep it a secret and keep it to myself. Just simply wonderful. A simplicity that no longer seems to exist.

Positiv Peaceful, remote place. All facilities worked as they should. Very cosy accommodation(boat). 15 min drive to 2 nearest towns for food shopping. Wild swimming option after hot, long days. Beautiful view from window.

Positiv The boat has kept most of its original interior which the kids loved. Well equipped with cooking equipment. The location is fantastic, about 10 yards from the water and the beach pretty much to ourselves most of the time. The boats are positioned so that you aren't overlooking each other and it feels quite private, the camping is a little away from the boats. The lady running the site and the lady who helps cleaning were really friendly and happy to chat if you wanted to but were happy for you to keep to yourself if you wanted, just the right balance. The site is clean, wasn't too keen on composting toilet but it was only a very short stroll to the normal flushing toilet (was near where you park so usually combined a trip to fetch something aswel). The feel of the whole place was so relaxed, we just loved it. Lots of little things had been provided that just make your holiday easier, such as a fridge at the boat and a shared freezer, wheelbarrows to take stuff to the boat, some wood and fire lighters provided and more available to buy, running water in the boat for washing up, blankets for in the evening andlotsofother things. You get the feeling alot of thought and care has been given to providing you with what you need for a good stay. Will definitely be returning (would have been again this year if we could have). Just fantastic.

Negativ Not a dislike but a consideration. There's quite a big step into one of the bedrooms, its all part of the character of the boat and wasn't a problem for us but for older and less able people it may have been difficult. Also the door is quite low so you need to stoop to get in and out, the kids loved it but could cause problems for very tall people.
