What customers say
This woodland site offers spacious, private pitches with shelters & fire pits. Staff are praised for friendliness & helpfulness, facilities are clean (showers/toilets), and the setting is peaceful. Despite some road noise & basic portaloos, it’s highly recommended for a relaxing, nature escape with room for kids to explore.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Excellent mostly but contact the campsite direct to confirm details.
Bell tent (five person)
Liked Lovely quiet campsite. Enjoyed having our own cooking facilities.
Disliked The listing in PitchUp stated that there would be bedding available for a spare bed in the Glamping bell tent. The owner told us this was wrong in the listing and one of us had to sleep in all our clothes for 2 nights and it was extremely cold!

Very friendly staff, lovely peaceful & large pitch. A lovely stay.
Primitive forest floor tent campsite (woodland)
Liked Very friendly. Pitch was private and peaceful. The wooden shelter provided was invaluable as was the bin and fire pit. Felt very safe.
Disliked Not really a dislike, however the toilet and shower facilities were a little basic. Very clean, but the shower was fairly cold (I think I might have just been unlucky as others commented it was very hot). Where we stayed there was only one male and one female toilet (portaloos were a little smelly). This did not impact our stay at all though.

Primitive forest floor tent campsite (woodland)
Liked The large shelter for cooking and sitting under is a stroke of genius! This allowed our group of 4 (on a 4 tent pitch) to sit outside in the dry and also cook without having to put up a tarp. The woodland pitches are a good size and really well spaced out throughout the woods so that you hardly know anyone else is around. The showers are spacious and the water is warm, facilities were all clean. We liked being able to have a fire once the rain stopped.

A great site for a family trip.
Bell tent (five person)
Liked The surroundings were beautiful.
The showers were clean.
The yurt was well presented and had everything we needed.
The host was brilliant, bringing us everything we needed.
The USB sockets in the glamping field were an added bonus!
Disliked We did not like the toilets. We were out off by the amount of flies in the compost toilets. There was not enough sawdust in the bucket for the amount of people on the site.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely feedback about the yurt, facilities, and our hosting – we’re so glad you enjoyed the surroundings and your stay overall. We appreciate your comments about the compost eco toilets. This is our first year using this system, and we’ve been learning as we go. Since your visit, we’ve adjusted the type of sawdust we use and improved the supply to make the experience more pleasant for everyone. Your comments have helped us make those changes, so thank you again.
Lovely camp site for a short trip if in the field.
Primitive forest floor campervan campsite (woodland, maximum 6 metres)
Liked The space, friendly and helpful owner. Ice and logs delivered super quick! Lovely hot showers but limited to 5 minutes.
Disliked The compost toilets weren't the best. The hole for the toilet was very far back!

Excellent small site with clean basic facilities. Quiet and spacious.

Liked Seclusion, space, facilities, convenient location, friendly greeting. Thank you Jaime.
Disliked Actually nothing to dislike. Perhaps if I nit picked, better signage to find the site, but that’s all I can possibly think of.

A really great campsite. Would highly recommend!
Bell tent (six person, woodland)
Liked We loved how private our Bell tent was but just a stones throw away from the washing up area and toilets. Showers were great. The team were so welcoming, friendly and very helpful. We will certainly be returning!
