Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Simplicity done beautifully. Love the kind attention to detail and ease of booking. Peaceful field, great amenities and wonderful view/sunsets.
Disliked Everything is on a slope albeit gentle. Bring wedges etc to level out vehicles/tables if like me you carry a spirit level in your head :D

From the manager: Hi Ciaran, thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review and for your kind words, we really appreciate it. As a pop up campsite we are very limited in what we are able to offer as temporary structures and our listing does state that we do not have showers so I am sorry if you were not aware of this. Most of our campers also heat water on their stoves for washing up so being unable to have hot water hasn't been an issue. We are looking to possibly put in a gas shower next year. Also the site is approx 3 acres and 2 of the acres are flat, with a slight incline up towards the toilets and facilities. Just wanted to clarify that for anyone reading your review as 'side of a hill' could be a little misleading, but glad you were able to find a space that could work for you. Enjoy the rest of your summer and thanks again for staying with us!

Liked Lovely clean, peaceful campsite. Stayed 2 nights with my dog, lots of space and only a 15min walk to the local pub. Away from the main road so nice and quiet at night. The perfect spot if you enjoy wild camping but like the basic amenities aswell.
