What customers say
Lovely countryside, chill vibes, and heaps of space. The staff are legends, the food's good, and the wildlife's a bonus. Facilities are clean but a bit old-school. Might get a bit noisy from other campers on weekends.

Great for the traveller, not much to keep kids entertained. Loved it.
Powered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Quiet and secluded. The facilities were good and the reception friendly. As touring stopover it was everything we needed and nothing we didn’t.
Disliked The bar could have been open, but then we have been to pubs in every village we visited, we didn’t need another
