Unpowered grass and earth tent site (wild)
Liked: I have just got back from a 2 night stay in the wooded area. I was only going to stay 1 night but they had everything I need to spend longer here. Great setup. Matt the owner was very helpful and friendly. This is a back to nature type site. Very quiet with a choice of either wooded area or a meadow. But still with facilities that you need like toilets, showers and communal kitchen and a mini shop. There are firepits to use and wood for sale. There is a grocery store 10 mins walk and 2 pubs within walking distance (Grove ferry Inn and the gate inn. Both seemed good and nice food. I was overwhelmed by the place and had to keep stopping to take photos of how beautiful it is. This is now one of my favourite campsites.

Unpowered grass and earth tent site (wild, woodland)
Liked: the owners were super helpful, even with our late night arrival. The facilities were plenty and well kept. The campsite was quiet because it was in the winter, but I imagine it would be comfortable even in a busier summer season.
