Μου άρεσε The natural setting was superb. Saw kestrels, red kites and skylarks among others. The site is in a quiet location and within a walk of the village which has a butchers cum greengrocers and a coffee shop that sells beer and wine (and coffee and cake). The welcome we received was second to none, the owners are very genial and helpful. The site is rudimentary compared to some, but has functional (hot water) showers, toilets and fresh water and the rest is what you make it.
Ramps might be useful for campervanners on some areas of the site and a torch for after dark

Μου άρεσε I really don't think I can do this campsite justice but I will try. It was exactly what we needed. Exceedingly peaceful. From dawn to dusk we were surrounded by birdsong that was just lovely. It's far enough away from busy roads that the road noise is so minimal. Beautiful meadow field to pitch a tent in, and exactly the sort of place I love spending time in.
The facilities were as described but what the description fails to mention is the attention to detail in every aspect of it. The composting toilets were spotlessly clean with plenty of loo roll, sawdust, and hand sanitizer. No smell at all from the toilets, I challenge you to find cleaner and better maintained toilets than these! The little touches like lights that came on at night, but clear panels letting daylight in the day meant you weren't shocked by bright lights for your pre bed wee. The washing up area had hand soap for post toilet visits and lovely wash basins for washing up your dishes. The showers were brilliant, normally 3 showers are available, but nesting birds meant only 2 were available which is fine by me. It's nice having campsite owners who care about the environment. Showering there was an absolute delight, private cubicles with fresh air so it didn't get steamy (a pet peeve of mine!) Perfect water temperature, which the owners assured us they could change if it didn't suit us. A little caddy for your shampoo etc and plentiful hooks for your towel and a shower curtain to stop you getting your towel wet- they really thought of everything! Apart from the facilities the care and attention the owners paid to maintaining them is amazing, they really are a hard working pair.
Now... onto the vibe. Relaxed, fuss free camping. A relaxed, "choose your own location" meant a well spread out vibe and peaceful community. We only stayed 2 nights but very much feel like I got a week's worth of relaxation out of it. The owners recommended the local pub (The Red Lion in Culworth) and a foot path leading to it, both were excellent and very welcome. A gentle foot path with only a slight incline to reach the village- though beware I did receive a jump scare from a pheasant. If you want a peaceful escape in the best of what the british countryside has to offer then book here right now.
If I haven't convinced you... the owners are some of the loveliest people I have met who own a campsite. Helpful and knowledgeable but also realise you are there for a peaceful time so aren't intrusive. As good as the humans are the doggy owner Maggie is a special soul- she is joy in dog form. But rest assured if you are not a dog lover, her humans have her under great control and she only says hello if you are willing too (which I very much am!) So if you are not a dog lover don't be put off.

All in all, it was an outstanding weekend as true rural gem of a campsite.

It was lovely to meet you both and Maggie will definitely be enjoying a tummy rub x

Μου άρεσε Wonderful, scenic peaceful location with far reaching views from the Oakfield location. Penny met us on arrival and was very welcoming and helpful. We had lunch at the Red Lion a short walk away in Culworth which was also very nice.

Please let us know how we can improve customer service and facilities

Μου άρεσε Spacious. Eco site. Friendly owner

Δεν μου άρεσε Slightly overpriced for the very basic facilities in our opinion which could be why we had the whole site to ourselves!

Από τον διαχειριστή: I’m sorry you feel we are over price , your initial payment is a booking fee this does not come to us .
We do advertise as a back to basic campsite , if we upgrade our facilities we would not be eco friendly , which In turn would effect our carbon footprint and would not benefit nature. Also all the compost made gets used around the farm when planting new trees and hedgerow which all benefits the environment.
We spread our campers over two sites so it should always be relaxing and quiet.

Μου άρεσε Sunnyfield was exactly what I expected. Peaceful and surrounded by countryside. The village is literally footsteps away for anyone who wants to use the pub, cafe or see the castle. Very clean and tidy.

Μου άρεσε We liked the whole site. ❤️ The owner Penny was lovely and helpful. The site had amazing views and the compost toilets and the showers were very good. The washing up area had the best views over the countryside. Buzzards flying and really peaceful.
