Μου άρεσε: Ok so its a pretty little field with some nice little apple trees and a scattering of picnic benches (for those without the car camping comforts of tables and chairs) and firepits. Its a small site but the downside of a small site is that if there is a large noisy group, you cant escape them. As there was when we visited, a large group were in the cabins at the bottom of the field and we had to move our tent in the middle of the night to get as far away from them as possible. I guess this is a potential problem on any campsite but I thought a small one like this might not attract or allow large groups. However even without other people, the noise from the main road, the Frome ring road, is constant, with lorries, boy racers, motorbikes all through the evening and sporadically through the night... tranquil countryside camping this is not! I was impressed with the facilities though, nice clean toilets, washing up area, fridge, plenty of covered space if you need shelter from the rain. One final disappointment was the sudden and unannounced withdrawal of food availability as talked about on this site. This was a factor in deciding to come here and there was nothing to say this had stopped (on their facebook page/website etc).

Μου άρεσε: Friendly welcome, quiet site with excellent facilities. The showers were a real bonus after a day's biking. Plentiful supply of fire pits and picnic benches. We even got in a yo-yo competition in the games room!

Μου άρεσε: Really liked the peace, and relaxed atmosphere. Only small, but everyone very respectful of other campers and you're not on top of each other. Lovely clean facilities. Very welcoming owners too! It felt like nothing would've been too much trouble, they left you to get on but were always easily accessible. You'll need to drive to get about, but there's plenty to do around. You're close to lots of places of interest (Bath, Roman baths, Stone henge, lots of beautiful little villages including Lacock for any Harry Potter fans).

Μου άρεσε: This is a great little site; facilities are very basic with no electric hook-up for tent pitches but everything was kept clean and tidy. Little extras such as the games room and the provision of plenty of toilet roll, hand soap, washing up liquid, etc. was a nice touch that you don't always get at campsites. Fire pits were available for use with a small charge for wood. The on-site takeaway was fab, with great food and generous portions. The owner was very relaxed, friendly and helpful. The site itself was very pretty with all of the fruit trees dotted about. Conveniently located for Longleat and Frome. Shops and restaurants just a 5 minute drive away. The glamping pods/shepherd's huts look lovely!

Δεν μου άρεσε: If, like us, you are not used to it, the proximity to the main road means that it is quite noisy through the night.

Μου άρεσε: I loved the rustic look to the facilities. The facilities were really well thought out on the campsite. I liked the small size of the site. The lodge was lovely and very clean. It was a home from home. Perfect for us

Δεν μου άρεσε: The grass was a bit long so you got very wet trainers going between the lodge and the facilities. The timer on the lights was too short, you ended up still in the shower in the dark with the sensor outside.

Μου άρεσε: The games room, the smallness of the site (security with young kids) and the fire pit availability. The staff were really friendly and facilities good. We only stayed for 1 night but would visit again.
