Primitive grass and gravel RV campsite
Liked: We love this site. We live an hour away and whenever we need a break from any hustle and bustle we book a night or two and stay here. The owners are lovely, the pitch is private and secluded and we love the peace and quiet. The view across the fields is nice to spend time looking at while daydreaming and when it is sunny, the sunsets are lovely to see. The compost loo is cleaned regularly and there are camping bits and pieces to help make the stay more comfortable ( wood for the fire pit, clothes dryer, washing up bowl). Having said all that DON'T GO, cos we want to be able to !!!!!!
Disliked: Nothing. If you are someone who likes high speed internet, you may not get this here and there are no shops/tourist places but we like this about the site, so if these things don't bother you, the site will be fine for you.

Liked: The peace. I just wanted a couple of nights of peace and that's exactly what I got. Weather was terrible, but didn't matter, I could just drink tea and listen to the rain. Compost loo nice and dry. Could have sat on the bench and enjoyed the view if it stopped raining for 5 minutes.

Liked: Lovely spot with grassed picnic area with firepit . Great for a night or 2 stop in self contained campervan. Water and composting loo. Lovely views and great walk up to monument. Warm welcome.Turning to pitch no obvious at first but hosts very helpful
Disliked: Entrance and lane narrow but not really a problem in 5.5m campervan.

Primitive grass and gravel RV campsite
Liked: Being the only unit there. Wonderful for our nervous dog and disabled adult son. Loved the private garden at the back of the plot,the picnic table ,the fire pit and the private composting facility. The farm animals were lovely to see. The owners were friendly.
Disliked: The pouring rain. The access to the plot was tricky with the camper van but would get easier with practice. None of which were the fault of the owners.

Liked: This is a great location for a camper van. Secluded private garden with fire pit/picnic table/bbq/toilet/water. There was also a rubbish bin, with a new bin bag along with twigs in the fire pit. We are new to camping and this gave us the opportunity to work through procedures in private. Great location for cycling or walking. The hosts were great and made us feel most welcome. It was clear that they had gone to great efforts to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

Liked: Peaceful private little site. Penny and Andy were lovely and Penny even gave us a tour of her grounds and all the animals! She also showed us a good walk to the top of the local hill. The site itself is your own little spot with tap and toilet and lots of other nice bits like your own bbq. Defo will return here!
