Unpowered grass site
Liked This campsite is absolutely fantastic, our daughter's (8&6) loved being able to feed the animals, they really enjoyed the playground and playing in the dens in the woods, they even had a go at fishing with their Dad. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming, one lady even offered to help clip our very nervous dog's nails. The showers were nice and hot and all the toilets and facilities were very clean in my opinion despite it raining quite a bit during our stay. Good pot washing station and there's a communal freezer for freeze blocks, a microwave and kettle also. The shop has everything you could have possibly forgotten or need in an emergency and there's also a separate shop for fishing supplies.
Disliked We liked everything about our stay so I'll use this section for a few little tips. Yes, the ground is sandy, bring a dustpan and brush or a little hand held vacuum and you'll be fine. Yes, the geese are free roaming but they are friendly and the goose poo is only really noticeable near the hard standing pitches where they tend to spend most of their time. Yes, sometimes the animals make noises...SHOCK! if you're after a quiet camping trip with no sign of any animals or wildlife then this is probably not the campsite for you.

Family Field unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked The owners are so friendly and my kids loved learning about Max and Wooliam the sheep and Sissy the cow. The family field had 3 portaloos which were always very clean and well stocked with loo paper, we never had to queue for a toilet once either. There are some composting toilets in the adults only field too. The river and woodland is lovely for dog walks and my kids even had a swim in the river. There's loads of space for bike rides and the kids loved the playground. Fire pits are so cheap to rent for your whole stay and wood very cheap also, saves lots of room in the car rather than having to bring your own.
Disliked You couldn't ask for a better campsite honestly. Only tip I would offer is to bring a collapsible draining board if you plan on doing any washing up.

Liked Very clean site, beautiful views, communal fridge and freezer
Disliked Only thing missing was a little on site shop (our young kids like to feel independent going on their own) but there's plenty of places a short drive away if you run out of or forget to bring something.

Liked The kids loved the baby cows and kittens, the ice cream sold at the little shop was excellent, very friendly and helpful campsite owners. Toilets were always clean or being cleaned. Rope swings were a big hit. Beautiful views, great walk to the little waterfall.
Disliked Only very minor gripe was the shop could be a little bit more well stocked but our own fault for not bringing beer with us! X
