Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: This site was lovely and clean. I met Alan and his son and they were both very nice people. They make you feel VERY welcome. It's lovely and quiet, very respectful campers on site. Great access to the river which my children loved. Also, a great idea to hire a fire pit and logs.
Disliked: The only issue I'd have is the noise from the traffic which is out of the owners control. I'd just take a pair of ear plugs for a good night's sleep.

Unpowered grass caravan site
Liked: It was clean
Disliked: This is like staying in someone back garden , it is just a field with a small part having a stretch of river. The people next to us had a generator which was loud and kids running around till 10.40 screaming. The place is located down a very small rd with no signs. I would not recommend this place.
