Liked: We had such a wonderful time. A quit place, wonderful view and very welcoming host. We really enjoyed the river, the mountain and all the fresh air that gave us a lot of energy to keep on with our busy lives. My husband even had a trip up to the top of the mountain. Hope to come again soon!

Liked: Beautiful campsite with amazing views, 10 minute walk to a pub. Bathrooms (including showers) were clean and very new. The best thing about the place was John, the host. Amazingly friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
Disliked: Nothing really, although if it gets more popular, they made need to get some more bathrooms.

Liked: Beautiful site, picturesque views, great loos, fabulous owner
Disliked: Couldn't find a bin anywhere. Happy to take my own rubbish home but I have a dog and nowhere to put dog mess. I probably wouldn't stay here at busy times as I felt the plots were a bit too close together.
