Liked: Norma was brilliant! The site is a lovely small site with perfect facilities. Everything was clean and well maintained! The donkey’s were brilliant for the kids! They got to feed them daily, and they (the donkeys) were super excited! 🫏 Norma offer fire pits and a range of pasties and sausage rolls, which were all brilliant!

Liked: What a gem !! We really enjoyed our time here, the lady that runs it never stops, she is amazing and is always on hand, the pitches are very spacious and well maintained, loved the friendly donkeys, we did the firepit deal, which included kindling, skewers and marshmallows, pasties can be made to order, Will definately be returning as the site is open all year round
Disliked: Dont want to dislike as it's a great place which is kept spotless, the facilities are very minimal so had to wait sometimes for showers or washing up but never found that a problem as all campers were friendly

Liked: Fabulous hosts with a really well looked after campsite - everything you could need on site along with some bonus extras like freshly baked pasties, fresh coffees and fire pits with marshmallows! Shower/toilet facilities were always lovely and clean and well maintained! Lovely woodland walk on site and lots of lovely farm animals surrounding to give us a wake up call in the morning, really loved the separate kids play area as well.
