What customers say
Quiet, rural spot with stunning views & roomy pitches. Hosts are super friendly & helpful! Spotless facilities, great camper's kitchen & a secure dog run. Older facilities are well-kept, but watch the access road. Wi-Fi can be patchy.

Liked This is a lovely little site; with great communication and a friendly, helpful welcome. There is a good sized field to let a dog run free; a very well-equipped handy little kitchen; an old but very clean toilet block; and a great lounge complete with tv, comfy chairs, a pool table, a little table-tennis table and plenty of reading material.
Disliked Nothing.

From the manager: Thank you, James! Your review is much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed your stay hereand we look forward to seeing you again if you visit the area.... thanks again! J&A
P.S. The toilet and shower block is not actually that old.... we've just used antique sinks and other quirks etc, to aim for that 50's/60's vibe- although the power showers were not around in those days!! Ha!
Don't think about it just book it!!

Liked Lovely site, the owners were really helpful and have thought of most things and more had some fantastic duck eggs they have a pavilion with a TV and games they have a lending area with things you may have forgotten to bring the ladies has a lovely dressing table with a mirror and a hairdryer on in the kitchen area they have all the normal thing with a microwave and washer and dryer but they have bits of food that you may need if you have forgotten things so thoughtful I really recommend this site
Disliked The weather but that was nothing to do with the owners!!! I think if they could have done something about it they would!!

Liked The facilities were really nice and clean. The hosts were welcoming and friendly.
Although I don't have a dog, I thought it was great that there was a dog field which could be used.
The addition of picnic tables were a lovely touch and were well used by us.
I'd definitely stay here again.

From the manager: Thank you, Peter, for a super review... apologies for the poor wifi during your stay- the mobile tower serving us was under repair and operating on limited power during the work. Our wifi is provided by TP-Link, not a landline, because of our location! Safe onward travels all the best J&A
