What customers say
Top-notch, family-run spot with brilliant cleanliness & facilities. Spacious pitches, spotless loos, and a great cafe with cocktails. Animal paddocks a hit! Minor gripes: tricky sloping pitches, bin issues. Peaceful with stunning views.

Liked Good hot shower with a plentiful flow of water.
Pleasant open, quiet location.
Disliked Wifi was advertised but not available.
Lights in the gents shower are on a timer and turned off before I had got out. I don't spend long in the shower either.
No lock on the shower door.

Excellent site
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Lovely site, spacious pitches, really friendly, helpful staff, sparklingly clean facilities and great food in the Curlew Cafe. Loved visiting all the animals and strolling through the pathways mown through the grass amongst the trees.
Disliked Only one tiny gripe - the site is built on a bit of a slope so we found it a bit tricky to level our caravan, but we managed. However, the slope means the views are fabulous from the top of the site.

Excellent site with clean facilities.
Powered gravel caravan site
Liked Nice site, clean showers & polite staff, recommend the super full breakfast in their cafe at a special campers price that was in site information email.
We’ll definitely come back if we’re in the area.
Disliked Some maintenance needed in washing up area.
Also not the sites fault a very inconsiderate neighbour starting to open& close his campervan sliding door at 5.30am in the morning for 2 nights spoiled our break!!
Rather have wood pigeons!!!

Liked Everything! The cafe is really good - didn't eat this time but the food looked amazing and the cakes did too. They are trying really hard and succeeding - such a friendly site - wonderful views too. Everywhere was immaculate - great place for families and those without children alike. Lots to see ad do around the area too. We will definitely be back.
