What customers say
Great little spot behind The Wellington Inn. Well-kept, quiet site with large, level gravel pitches, often with electric. Pub staff are a ripper – friendly and the food's top notch and good value. No on-site loos, just during pub hours, but most reckon it's fine for a quick stop. Popular, good value.

Liked Nice clean site belonging to an absolutely ace Pub.
Disliked Although when booking i was completely aware there we no showers or toilets, personally i felt at £25 per night it was a mite over priced. Compared to other sites at the same price of £25 per night but offering toilets and showers.
