Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Really enjoyed our stay at this lovely little site. The views were spectacular. Facilities were well maintained and clean and the owners were really nice.

Disliked Cold shower one day as was raining and they are solar. Owners did override this later in the morning so we could wash up with warm water though.
