Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Quiet, remote location, good facilities (microwaves, kettles, toasters in kitchen area), horses and chickens, large field, just a few other families
Disliked: No toilet paper provided (I knew in advance but it's more convenient to have it provided), shower not included in price
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your kind feedback. I did try providing toilet rolls but as fast as I put them in they were taken. The general concensus amongst campers I have asked is that most would expect to bring their own toilet paper. I don't make any money my charging £1 for a ten minute shower if I didn't, campers would stay in shower too long and cause a queue.
Another great stay. Will see you again soon! Thank you!

Liked: Such a lovely family friendly site. Pitched in a well kept field with lots of room around each pitch, surrounded in patches of wildflower meadows. The owner was helpful and friendly. My children especially loved her horses and cats (she kindly tolerated their many questions while going about her chores). The facilities were clean - different from other sites we’ve been on, £1 for the shower and BYO loo roll but this didn’t bother us, it clearly works best for the owner and her business. As a family with young children this site was brilliantly safe and offered lots of room for my children to roam freely. WiFi wasn’t the best but happily gave me the push to put my phone away for the weekend in place for my book.

From the manager: What a lovely review thank you. I'm. Glad you appreciated what I'm all about.. I think it's good for the soul to. Immerse oneself in nature without the Internet and read a good book. It's what I try to do in my garden when I've weeded and mown the lawns!
Lovely small site with everything we needed for a short break. We'll…

Liked: Everything!! Lovely site! Fabulous and clean facilities, Claire was so friendly and she had truly thought of everything you might need. Toaster, kettles , microwaves, fridge/freezers in the communal kitchen and all the little bits you might have forgotten. We had a brilliant stay. Oh and fresh eggs from the chickens too!!

Liked: The pitches were well marked out and spacious. The site was pretty and facilities were all close together and easily found. The shower runs on a coin machine - £1 for 10 mins, so don't forget to take your change with you! The kitchen area was fab and the toilet clean - just don't forget to take your toilet roll up with you as there is none provided. The horses and chickens delighted the kids. Short walk to sandstone trail to go hiking. Host was friendly and welcoming.
