Liked: The rural location - when we managed to find it!
Disliked: 1 toilet with a shower inside just wasn't enough for the size of the site.
We were plugged into a plughole on an extension reel fixed to a fence which therefore wasn't very safe.
The shower at 20p for 3 mins didn't leave much time after adjusting the temperature & therefore needed to get out & put in at least another 20p!

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked: Beautiful site, wonderful owners, the little honesty shop has lots of essentials you might have forgotten and the toilet/shower has been really nicely put together. The views from the site are also stunning, as were some of the local attractions and walks.
I would definitely return, but would try to avoid when the site is at maximum capacity.
Disliked: The camping field itself is very small, too small for the current capacity when it's full - you can just about squeeze in the tents and the cars but you're not spaced out. Whilst it's lovely to see kids playing, when there are balls/foam airplanes/projectiles hitting the tents and cars, it isn't very appropriate, and the site is not large enough for these types of toys. Whilst I wouldn't recommend not allowing children, it should be noted that the site is meant to be small and peaceful and children should be able to respect this.
There is also only one toilet which has the shower in the same hut, so if someone else is showering you are unable to go to the loo. The shower is 20p for 3 minutes which is not an excessive time to wait but by the time someone has showered and got dressed afterwards, if you were bursting for the loo you might struggle - it might be handy to have the two separate or to have an additional loo if at all possible.

Liked: Hello, me and my partner went in may and this was our first time camping together, well what can I say , absolutely beautiful site, picturesque scenery, met the owners Jack and mandy, they are the most loverly couple, nothing was too much for them. They would periodically check in with you and we would often end up having long chats. Perfect for couples or families looking to relax, walk, see wildlife. Loved it so much we instantly booked for August so we can take my youngest son. Nightime sky blew my mind, I never knew there was that many stars.
Disliked: Nothing
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hello! It was lovely to meet you both and we were touched by your kind words. We are so glad you got to see the stars, they just go on and on. Because we have very little light pollution if any makes the stars even better. You might just see a shooting star next time?
Look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Liked: We were warmly welcomed and shown around by the owners on our arrival, throughout our stay they checked we were OK, nothing was too much trouble. There is no phone signal (ID network) but the owners provided the WIFI code on arrival (there was no extra charge) The area is amazing, so peaceful with lots of wildlife. The bathroom was stocked with plenty of loo roll, soap and a clean towel aswell as sanitary items (great that this was thought of, its the 1st site we've been too that has done this and we've been to many). The shower operates on 20p (for 5 minutes) the owners even left a few 20ps incase you arrived without. There's a small outside shop with honesty box selling fire supplies, biscuits, squash, shower gel, flannels, scourers...the essentials that you're likely to forget! Firepits are available too. We walked into Clun, it took about 1 h 30 mins along a very quiet country lane. The night sky was amazing, there's no light disturbance so stars galore. Lovely small site, we will be back.
