Liked: Toilet and shower block was very clean and well maintained. The washing up area was good too. The pitches were a great size. The owners were lovely and helpful. Children’s play area was a bit tired but the chickens and goats made up for it Would definitely stay again

Powered grass and earth tent or caravan site
Liked: The toilet/shower blocks. Absolutely spotless and well thought out. Small, well kept site. Water tap by pitch. Chickens and goats to watch (and horses at the end of the field). Lots of information on the local area. Large space to play ball games etc.
Disliked: Play area needs maintaining which is a shame as it would be the perfect site for us.

Powered grass and earth tent or caravan site
Liked: Amazing location on a beautiful well looked after site. The toilet facilities were immaculate and the shower rooms were perfect as I was alone with 2 year old twins which meant I could bring them with me to the shower as it was all in one room. The owners were very friendly and helpful and all of the people on the site were lovely and friendly. The owners brother came over and had a chat too and he was very friendly talking about the expansion work they are developing at the moment which sou def exciting. The camp is extremely quiet and peaceful and very well respected. Me and my twins absolutely loved it. Thank you for a fantastic experience.
Disliked: Nothing!
