What customers say
Peaceful, spacious site next to a great gastro-pub. Pitches level, facilities clean but basic. Pub refunds pitch fees for meals, excellent value. Good base for exploring. Friendly vibe, but access roads can be narrow and toilets occasionally run out of paper or have broken locks.

Power optional grass campsite
Liked Great little site opposite pub and nice country pub stopped over for 1 night didn’t have food but was talking to people in pub who did and highly recommended

Nice small site, good value esp if you don’t have electricity.
Power optional grass campsite
Liked Friendly staff. Shower was nice and warm. Level pitches. Good food at the pub. Wifi good even across the field.
Disliked toilets across a small road/lane. Not a problem for most as very infrequent traffic but you wouldn’t send a younger child to the toilet unaccompanied due to the possibility of traffic. Camp field itself is safe though and our children played out happily all evening. Electricity £7 a night extra which seemed quite steep for a tent when we are only running a little camper fridge and charging our phones.

Power optional grass campsite
Liked pitch was ok, once the grass was cut, the pub was idealy located, and staff seemed to be on the ball
Disliked food very expensive for pub style food, long delay in getting food after ordering, no cutlery with food and then had to wait for items that were missing. it wasnt a busy evening. there appeared to be a shortage of staff on every visit and long delays
