Unpowered forest floor tent site (woodland)
Liked: My daughter (aged 10) and I, really enjoyed the layout of the camp. Pitches were good distances apart and despite all woodland pitches taken, all were respectful throughout the night. Facilities were brilliant. In working order and clean. The honesty shop was very helpful, too. Will definitely frequent this site.
Disliked: Signage could be better en route and had no clue what to do on arrival but people were helpful. Later saw someone in charge so no real issues.

Bell tent
Liked: I almost don’t want to say how lovely it was because I want to go back and have it to myself. We stayed in the bell tent and the camp beds made it really comfy. There was a fire pit just for us. Tea and coffee stuff to help yourself to if you forget to bring them. Pots and pans etc. Really well thought out. I’d class it as “not so wild” camping.
Disliked: We were near the toilet so could hear the door banging/squeaking shut lots in the run up to bedtime. The sink could have done with a drain.

Liked: We liked the remoteness of the woodland. The communal sitting room was quite well equipped, but could do with a couple sofa even recycled ones. Overall 9/10. Loos need larger bins for toilet rolls. Very hospitable, helpful and friendly leaseholder. Will definitely return.

Kez’s shepherd's hut
Liked: Being off grid for 24 hours. Was able to switch off and be surrounded by green. A new shower and toilet facility has been added. Plenty of space.

Unpowered forest floor tent site (woodland)
Liked: Charming spot for tenting in the forrest; wood chips as surface worked surprisingly well = less dew in the morning! Dan was extremely helpful over the phone to get me checked in and help me run the shower.
Disliked: Even with the signage and the emails, still so hard to find as there is a huge set of black gates at the road (that's not it) and the set of silver gates earlier down the driveway. I had a passer-by help me. Also, couldn't locate any garbage disposal on the site and had to carry all my rubbish with me to the next town.

Bell tent
Liked: The place is lovely as it is quiet and immersed in nature; the tent was clean and comfortable as the space around.
Disliked: There were NO basic services such as a proper toilet and shower; this was very unpleasant and make this place definitely a no go for more than one night.
