What customers say
Quiet, roomy park with flat spots & nice country views, next to a friendly pub with good tucker. Great for short trips, but facilities are basic (no overnight toilets/showers). Some found this inconvenient and pricey. Manager's replies suggest improvements.

Liked Lovely old pub. A useful single night stop.
Disliked Very basic. Only suitable for people with ALL their own facilities. Did find a water tap but told by staff they'd been told it was not drinking water. It was off the rising main so we have it a go as there was no alternative. There was also a drain you can lift the cover off to empty your Thetford cassette. Just as well as there are no toilets once the pub has shut. There are electric hook-ups but they cost ten pounds a night so we stuck to our solar powered batteries.

Great for a one night stop over 👍
Unpowered grass site
Liked Great stop over on way to south east. Big field plenty of space, was nice & quiet the night we were there.
Disliked A bit more info when checking in about loos & showers would have been helpful, we were told “ pub loos” which is fine if that’s all there is, other reviewers had mentioned loos & showers, we did see couple of people off campsite coming out of a random door carrying shower stuff in the morning, we were too polite to go investigating!!! We might be wrong though.
