What customers say
This cosy, quiet campsite gets top marks for its sparkling clean loos and showers. Set among gorgeous country views with a cracking fishing lake. Little extras like fire pits and helpful hosts are a big plus. A few grumbles about shower temps or uneven ground, but mostly heaps of love and keen to come back.

Anonymous Unpowered grass site
Liked Pitches, showers, toilets really clean, weather, views. firepit came with marshmallows, we only used the firepit one night... I do wonder if extra wood, for other nights is included in the £12 fee (we used on last night).
Disliked I wonder if two showers and two toilets is enough for when there's lots of people, we went mid week just before start of school holidays. They did seem to be checked a few times a day however.

Liked Just fabulous - small, spotless facilities

Absolutely loved it! Beautiful!
Powered grass and gravel caravan site
Liked Lovely clean toilets and showers. Washing up area with everything you need! Our 9 year old was constantly in the mud kitchen in the woods! Made a enquiry about the hot shower as was too hot for my little one, the lady got straight onto it and emailed us straight away as we had gone out to let us know that the other shower was adjustable. Lovely location short walking distance to a pub. We just loved it !
Disliked Would have liked a little area with a sink to get washed ,brush teeth etc, but we were in our caravan this time rather than our tent so not a massive issue.

The Hive shepherd's hut (no pets)

Powered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Absolutely everything was brilliant, the pitches were a decent size, perfect for people who like fishing and those who don't, toilets were lovely and clean just like showers, washing up facilities were spot on and owners were lovely, happy and helpful

Great first experience of camping with the kids
Unpowered grass site
Liked Really well kept site, was our first camping trip as a family with 2 young boys 7 & 3. Lovely secluded spot very peaceful with great views.
Facilities were great, clean, tidy and well kept, nice having the fishing available right outside the tent, all round great and we will be back
Disliked Nothing! The pitch wasnt on even ground and the kids were rolling out of bed but not much can be done there not the fault of the owners, and also being by the lake must keep an eye on the little ones but again these aren’t negatives against the site just points to consider
Recommend to friends Visit again
Absolutely recommend this site - a real sanctuary.
Unpowered grass site
Liked Wonderfully peaceful location up on a hillside, overlooking a small fishing lake. Immaculate pitches with picnic table, parasol and firepit supplied. (Firepit pack also supplied on request). Toilet and Shower facilities were well presented and very clean - as was the washing up area. They've thought of everything and I would definitely recommend and would come again.
Disliked The only reason I dropped a star from a 10 was the shower in the morning. The note said the temperature was set but it was cold when turned on so I had to adjust it and could then only get either boiling or cold. I may have mastered it had I stayed longer but it wouldn't put me off going again. The ONLY thing I could fault really.

From the manager: Thankyou for your review, Great to hear that you had a peaceful stay. Apologies you had a cold shower, we are going to look into upgrading them so you can adjust the temperature.
Recommended for low key camping.
Anonymous Powered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Friendly green site. The lady was very nice. Recommended.
Disliked The way in is unprepossessing but once you get past all the building work and machinery the field and pond are really attractive.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your honesty about the approach to the site. As a working agricultural farm there is occasionally tractors/machinery on arrival.
We are pleased to hear that once you reached the site you enjoyed the surroundings.
