What customers say
Great campsite with friendly staff, stunning views & spotless amenities. Cosy, well-equipped digs with thoughtful extras. Perfect base for exploring. Minor shower temp/Wi-Fi hiccups noted, but largely top marks for a chill, memorable break.

Camping cabin
Liked This is a friendly, clean, safe and well-organised site. The pod was really comfortable, warm and even had tea and coffee. The shower / toilet block is in excellent condition and the separate washing up room with hot water even had a chest freezer. We were spoiled with brilliant weather so it gave us wonderful views and nearby walks.

Glamper camping pod
Liked Very clean and looked after facilities. The pod itself was well looked after and spotlessly clean. Freindly welcome from the lady on arrival. Only stayed one night, but enjoyed our stay. We will definitely return again.
Disliked Not a dislike or complaint, but to top this site off, a little childrens play area would be nice for younger children. But would this make the site less peaceful?

Welcoming site with great facilities
Camping cabin
Liked The family that run the site are lovely and welcoming. Ernest’s retreat has a relaxed feel and it’s a great place. Shower and toilet block was clean. Loved the ability to get a pizza on site too. Hopefully we’ll be back again one day!

Rambler camping pod
Liked A lovely scenic location, great view. Comfortable wooden camping pod. Clean toilet and shower facilities. Really hot showers. Friendly helpful staff. I thought pitch.up.com said no campfires, but you are allowed a fire as long as it is in a fireplace off the ground. Firepits and wood available to buy on-site.
