Liked: It was a lovely well kept site, everything looked immaculate, the owners were lovely, and the cycle trails for my other half were perfect
Disliked: Not very disable friendly, although there were disabled facilities, the gravel all around the site made it difficult to get around. There was a lot of road noise, although it can't be helped, after a night or two you get use to it. There was nowhere to let the dogs of the lead for a run around, again comes the fact not very wheelchair friendly so, unable to take them further than the van, and understandably all dogs are to be kept on leashes. For those reasons I will not visit again unfortunately.

Liked: Beautiful and very well looked after site. Large enough pitches that it didn’t feel crowded even on a busy weekend. Love the close proximity to the Granite Way, straight from the site gate & therefore easy access to the open moors. Also walking distance to a couple of pubs. There is also a cafe next door for snacks, pizzas, beer & ice creams! The owners were friendly & clearly care for their site. I thought the ladies facilities were very good. My husband wasn’t so enthusiastic about the gents but he can be fussy!
Disliked: For us nothing but there is some road noise. It certainly didn’t impinge on our sleep!!

Liked: Well what can I say...this campsite was perfect! It was spotlessly clean. The showers, toilets etc were clean, warm and comfortable. The waste water and sanitary waste were easy to access. Water points and bins are plentiful. Pitches are a good size and pretty level. The roads and hard standing are made with chippings. Entrance into the site is straightforward. Dogs are welcome. The site owners were welcoming and very understanding when I had to alter our plans because of a family funeral. They accommodated us so well, which meant we didn't miss out on a well needed break. The site is in a perfect location to access the granite way for cycling and walking. We walked our dogs to Sourton to the local church hall for a fabulous cream tea! Information on site is great. When we arrived they explained what was of interest in the area and which direction to go in for various places to visit.

Disliked: Everyone mentions the traffic noise but honestly it’s not that bad and you soon stop noticing it at all.
