What customers say
Great campsite with bell tents, handy kettles & charging. Guests love the top-notch facilities – clean showers, communal fridges. Swimming pond with kayaks & games a hit, especially with kids enjoying the safe play areas. Staff are friendly & helpful. A few found directions tricky, and fridges can get busy.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Fantastic will be back.
Bell tent
Liked Everything set up & ready for arrival. Bell tent pitched, beds made, fire pit outside with dry logs dropped off just before dawn.
Communal Fridges, Plates, glassware & bbqs supplied.
Plenty of roaming room for children to be feral & adults to relax. Fantastic community of staff who will try to accommodate, welcome & help.
No dogs!
Disliked The fact that I’m writing this review & I’d like it to be a secret for those in the know.

Bell tent
Liked Everything! It was the perfect spot. We have been camping for years and this is the best place we’ve stayed. The lake is just incredible and really elevates this place. The kids made friends and we’ve all agreed to book again next year - the only change we’ll make it staying for longer! The staff are so kind and helpful. Having the freezers / fridges is really helpful.

A great little glamping site that gets everything spot on.

Excellent site, many lasting memories made. Perfect for family’s.
Bell tent
Liked We have had such a lovely little break. As soon as we arrived we asked if we could book another night.
The kids have had the best time, they haven’t asked for iPads once! They have made friends with the other campers and had the best time running around the fields and swimming/kayaking in the pond.
The facilities are great, you don’t need to pack much. Plenty of chairs/tables, plates/mugs/bowls/cutlery. I didn’t realise they had electric in the communal area so I could charge my phone and store our milk.
We can’t wait to come again - the kids have had such a lovey adventure.

Bell tent
Liked This place is beyond awesome! The tents have everything you need to have a comfortable stay, amenities are handy and well maintained and the swimming pond is a major win. Would definitely recommend to all - we went there with our 3 year old who loved it but there was a real mix of families/couples/ages there. Close enough to a major train station for us to bike to the site but enough out in the country side to feel like you are getting back to nature.
Disliked Nothing - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
