What customers say
This tranquil, neat park has roomy spots & ace owners. Super clean facilities, great camp kitchen, and games room are a hit. A secure dog run's a big plus. While some say loos are a bit old-school, most reckon it's a ripper and will be back. Access road needs a spruce-up.

Enjoyed our few days, and will very likely be back in the future.
Powered grass caravan site
Liked We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet and the views across the countryside. Having a secure area on site for the dogs was a real bonus. Although the toilet and shower block is basic, it was very clean, and for those who would need the use of a hair drier, that was provided. The site is fairly central to allow visits to places of interest.

From the manager: Thank you, Lorna, for your lovely review- we're pleased you found the secure dog exercise area of use. From our own travelling experience, it's always a worry finding a site where you have peace of mind for the dogs and with a decent-sized, safe acreage for exercise! Safe travels ongoing! J&A

Quietly beautiful
Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Perfect little hidden gem! John and Anne are the best hosts, nothing is too much trouble. Forgotten something? Don't worry about it, they'll have it to lend it to you. It's a simple site the embodies true camping. Even the amenities have been tastefully constructed to give the feel of summer camping vibes from the 50's and 60's. The secure dog field is kept well and the whole site is quiet and tidy. Perfectly placed for lots of hiking or just sitting around with a good book. We will definitely return.

Thank you for a lovely review, and we'll see you again soon :) J&A

Liked Ligging en ontvangst. Mooie omgeving met veel steencirkels. Verrassende mooie ruine van kasteel rosehearty.
Disliked Verouderde toiletten, maar wel schoon en veel voorzieningen voor kampeerders op de fiets etc.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Bedankt voor je recensie! Ja, er is veel te ontdekken in de omgeving, met talloze kastelen, steencirkels en fietsroutes.
'Verouderde toiletten'? Niet iedereen begrijpt de sfeer die we nastreven, maar misschien is dat iets van onze leeftijd... We zullen onze website zeker in de stijl van de jaren 50 en 60 houden, maar aangevuld met een aantal 'moderne' items, zoals onze krachtige douches, haardrogers, magnetrons, waterkokers en broodroosters! Met liefde en begrip. 🙂
Toller Platz mit tollen Menschen in der Natur
Powered grass motorhome site
Liked Süßer Platz, total easy going und gut durchdacht. Generell saubere Sanitäranlagen. Die Aussicht ein Traum und super hundefreundlich!
Disliked Spinnen und andere Wildnis in den Sanitäranlagen… ja, es ist schwer diese draußen zu halten aber es gibt halt Plätze, die das schaffen…
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Vielen Dank für Ihre nette Bewertung. Wir freuen uns, Sie bald wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen! Bis dahin wünschen wir Ihnen eine gute Reise!
Wir hoffen, die Spinnen in den Duschen und Toiletten haben nicht das ganze heiße Wasser und die Seife verbraucht! Wir bitten sie zu gehen, aber sie kommen immer wieder und bezahlen nie! :)
