Great campsite, friendly staff, spotless facilities, and roomy spots. Stunning scenery loved by all. Family and dog-friendly with a dedicated dog area. Fire pits and a shop available. Mostly minor wind/noise complaints. Many keen to revisit.

Liked Beautiful campsite with beautiful facilities. We loved it, had everything we needed, it was busy but it didn’t seem it. People weren’t on top of each other, never queued for facilities. Peaceful and quiet, we will definitely return. Thank you

Ray D.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Lovely couple who where running the site.
Amenities where first class,well organised and always clean.
The pitches where smooth and level and very spacious so plenty of room for children to play,also dog friendly with a dog walk area.Showers and toilets where excellent and pot cleaning area spotless.
Another visit is already being planned asap.
Camp fires where allowed along with barbecuesfor a small charge for 'fire baskets and logs.
Sorry,unsure about wi-fi didnt need it.

Disliked There was nothing to dislike,but for us a pub is also a good addition but there was not really a pub,more like a restaurant for occasions, but it was nice and friendly with a great sunken beer garden and top play area only 15 mins walk from site.
