Liked: Lovely, friendly hosts! Clean toilets and showers. Lovely cafe. Close to lovely walks and towns. Lovely atmosphere with the street food and bar options. Plenty of space to pitch up.
Disliked: A couple of groups were playing music and being loud past midnight, just perhaps somebody around to ensure other groups are being respectful of other campers! Not the sites faults though!!!

Liked: Such a friendly environment, we got there just as they were finishing up a family day, but they were all very welcoming and chatty. They even opened up their nicer showers for us to use after a few days wild camping, it was really appreciated. Felt very safe as two young women camping alone, would stay here again.

Liked: Plenty of activities to do whilst there. Onsite facilities were good - shop, cafe and (hot) showers that were cleaned regularly. Friendly staff that are always keen to help.
Disliked: When there was a problem with the toilet/shower block the alternative block in the main house wasn't as welcoming - the showers were cold and wasn't quite as clean - the toilet/shower block being out of order was beyond their control though and was clear to see they had tried to do what they could to best accommodate the situation

Liked: Dog friendly, live music, cafe, lovely outdoor seating area, pizza and activities around the campsite! Spacious and sheltered under trees.
Disliked: The showers were cold and very outdated! The hooks were all broken with nowhere to hang clothes. They didn’t feel particularly clean with black mould in the cubicles. It rained and it became a mud slide for cars! A matting needed placing down to help with the cars realistically. Could not find the drinking tap! No clear signage, ran in to multiple people asking if knew were the tap was, they also couldn’t locate it! Personally feel there should be 2 taps located at each end of the campsite. We ended up buying bottled water. Although we asked where the tap is we really could not locate it.

Liked: Great environment with trees and a river not so far
Disliked: - lack of communication from staff as the showers had cold water and did not informed us or solve the issues - issues with infrastructure as old (doors not locking, cold shower, unusable toilets..) - spend the whole weekend with nobody cleaning the toilets or showers - issues with bins, were full for days - one sink only to wash our dishes for the whole campsite (was inaccessible for a whole day and evening as they play a band in front of the door)
