Liked: Lovely quiet, clean campsite. Owners were so welcoming and the facilities including the composting toilet were spotless. So much nicer than the usual cramped, smelly plastic chemical loos.
Disliked: Nothing

Bell tent
Liked: Wir hatten das neue Tippi, es ist richtig groß, komplett verschlossen, kann aber mit mehreren Öffnungen mit Fliegengitter zu belüftung geöffnet werden. Ich finde es gut, dass es ein Platz ist, der mehr auf Nachhaltigkeit achtet sprich - Komposttoilette (sehr sauber!) nur ökologische Seife darf verwendet werden und man muss Müll trennen. Es gibt auch eine kleine Garage, in der man seine Handys laden kann oder sich Tee kochen oder auch Eier kaufen kann. Dort gibt es auch Informationsmaterial über die Umgebung.
Wir wurden auch sehr freundlich empfangen und haben alle notwendigen Informationen erhalten.
Disliked: Teilweise ist die Wiese etwas schräg, was vielleicht für Camper mit Zelt unangenehm ist. Zudem fand ich ein einzige Toilette und Dusche etwas wenig. Es hat zwar bei uns geklappt, es hätten aber nicht mehr Besucher sein dürfen.

From the manager: Hi Pascale,
Thanks so much for your lovely feedback and comments!
It was great to meet you both and we hope you had a good journey back home.
We will be extending our toilet facilities for next year, as we appreciate that at peak times in the season it does get busy. We really appreciate your helpful feedback to improve our site.
Hope to see you again next year!

Liked: The campsite was very friendly, there is tea/coffee facilities and a fridge and we were given free fire pit and wood. The toilet is clean, shower and wash up area very clean. An electric plug is available to the customers. The owner is very friendly and helpful.

From the manager: Thank you for your great feedback, it was lovely to meet you and we're so glad you enjoyed your stay!
Sorry we didn't see you to say goodbye in the morning, as we were still feeding and mucking out the animals when you left.
Just to clarify for other campers that we do charge a small fee for the firepit + logs + firelighters of £10, to cover our costs, as unfortunately we can't provide these for free. It had slipped our minds to come up and sort the payment out with you, our error and it's not a problem at all.
Hope the bed stayed-up all ok after all the problems as well.
Best wishes
