Liked: Remoteness of the site with a stunning view is the perfect spot for a pop up site. The owners were great people, diversifying a little patch of grass with added convenience of an on-site toilet and shower. Hiring a firepit from the hosts is a must to watch the stars.

Liked: We had the site to ourselves but the pitches are plenty big enough with a great sized grass area in new tween to not feel busy even when full. The views are gorgeous and the oak trees and babbling brook. We star gazed under a star strewn sky watching shooting stars and spotting constellations which was magical. The shower and toilet huts are cute with a fantastic outdoor changing room (with views if you’re tall enough and the sound of the stream right by you). Hosts are lovely and popped round with our firepit when we arrived.
Disliked: The changing room could be problematic in wind/rain so have your stuff in a waterproof bag and maybe use a changing poncho/robe if you have. The shower isn’t very powerful for rinsing hair so need take this into account if you’re staying longer than a couple of days, was lovely for a body wash though. Could do with more than one toilet/shower for when it’s busier.

Liked: Really big pitches, cool fire pits, owner responded fast to phone calls when an issue arose, toilet was always clean and fresh toiletries, good prices
Disliked: Needs another shower and toilet cubicle - 1 is not enough for a site this big, and maybe a shelter area + another sink for washing up, or at least an air fresher daily

Liked: Really quiet, clean and peaceful site. Shower and toilet were perfect for us. Great views from the site and good location for access to different local attractions (high force, North pennines, hadrians Wall, etc.). Felt almost like wild camping but with good facilities.

Liked: Great setting, clean shower and toilet. Got the impression the owners are nice people
Disliked: Had to clean the toilet after other campers, more regular checks needed. No general waste disposal area. No where to wash dishes. Water for the shower was barely warm. 2nd toilet needed, cover outside shower needed.
