Beautiful campsite. Owner is a top…
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Beautiful campsite. Owner is a top man very friendly. Very reasonable price. Facilities are all you need from a camp site! Bonuses come from the views and the fire pits

Lovely little site and reasonably priced too.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Graham - the owner is such a nice bloke. We arrived on Monday to torrential rain so decided to come back the next day instead and he insisted we stayed the next two nights so that we didn’t lose out on a nights stay - he didn’t have to do that and I was genuinely taken aback by his generosity. Would happily come back and stay here again! The site has some stunning views and it’s only a short walk into the village too.
Disliked Toilets and shower a bit old and in need of some modernising but does the job!

Friendly owner
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked It was only us when we stayed there, so very spacious
Disliked It's relatively unhygienic including both the pitch and the toilet, they need more work

Disappointing stay
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The host was very welcoming. No set pitches
Disliked The one shower on site didn't work. Facilities were sparce and not clean. The hot water tap on the one sink spun round and didn't actually work and the cold water tap was just a trickle so no way to get properly clean.
Site is right next to a busy road so very noisy. The field is on a slope.
Had to leave a night early due to awful weather, no mention of a refund. If you like wild camping then this is the place for you but not suitable otherwise.
