Liked A beautifully peaceful site. Toilets and showers might be basic and a little old fashioned but are spotlessly clean. Being surrounded by horses in the paddocks around the camp site adds the calm ambience of the site and aids the unwinding process. Perfect for walkers, cyclists, adventure bikers and couples wanting to “get away from it all”.
Disliked WiFi kept dropping out and was super slow. OK for checking email but not really up to surfing the web and definitely no streaming possible.
OK if on a budget
Powered grass site
Liked Friendly and convenient for us. Quiet and rural.
Disliked Basic. Toilets not great. Walk through field or wet ditches to toilet. Dreadful lane to get to the pitch. No wifi code.
From the manager: The site is basic and it is a little walk to the toilets.
The wi-fi code is available in the office and displayed on the campsite.#
The weather had been poor, hence the mud.
Most people enjoy the rural nature of this site.
Overall good stay

Liked EVERYTHING! Sharon and her team were lovely, responsive and accommodating.
Lovely pitch, level ground. Easy to find. Amazing views! We had such good weather that we opened the van backdoor, watched the horses and the sunset. It was so quiet and peaceful, it felt like getting away from the world.
The facilities were very clean, which is especially impressive when it's a working Equestrian centre.
The facilities were NOT far from the pitch. I don't understand other reviews saying that they are, when it's a short walk away. I've definitely stayed at pitches where the toilets are much further!
Wifi at the pitch was good. Something unique to offer, as there is a router by the campsite.
All the horses looked very well looked after and were sweet, they enticed me into a riding lesson. I had a 1-1 with Sharon and learnt a great deal. Very knowledgeable and a kind teacher.
I would definitely visit again, both for camping and a riding lesson.
Disliked Not being able to stay longer (personal life commitments)!
From the manager: Thank you, what a lovely review. :)
