Liked: The caravan was lovely and a beautiful setting. Not as secluded as advertised but we were the only guest so had it to ourselves. The outdoor furniture was comfy and we enjoyed a lovely view across the field. The extending bunk was comfortable and had two great night’s sleep. The kitchen equipment is basic but adequate. We cooked a whole chicken and a roast pork and had everything we needed. The composting toilet was surprisingly low smell given it was 26 degree heat. My husband had a wonderful time in an off grid/back to basics experience. Would recommend it. Tip would be to take lanterns and torches. It is recommended and we really did need it. Darker than you think. They were accommodating. We asked for logs(£8) and loved sitting by the fire pit so asked for more for the morning so we could burn up our breakfast allowance. They were left by the toilet block very early. We bought washing up liquid and other camping bits but that was provided including spare bin bags.
Disliked: The dog bed wasn’t there but there wasn’t anywhere on the booking form to indicate a dog was coming(other pitch up booking pages usually add them on) it was warm and she was somewhat happy on the floor.
It is dark at night.
Had to text to ask for more loo roll. There was around half a roll when we arrived and assumed they would check and top up when they delivered logs or left a spare out. Still didn’t take away from the wonderful experience.

Liked: Glorious location nestled in secluded woodland.
Gypsy caravans with their own private area including fire pit!
Accommodation very basic but the owners provide bedding with extra blankets, and enough crockery and cooking utensils. They also provide washing up liquid, bowl, tea towels and oven gloves!
The compost loos were clean, and the showers had hot water - what more does anyone need!
My daughter and I had a beautiful break, surrounded by nature, it was the perfect reset!

Liked: We stayed for the weekend. Such an amazing and private space, recommended if you are looking for a quiet get away.
A small drive to the coast for some amazing walks.
Had an amazing nights sleep even when it rained. Was so peaceful.
Accommodation was great, and had everything you needed inside.
We tried the vegetarian breakfast and bbq food packs they offer. Very delicious.
Dogs loved it too, there are a animals in nearby fields so you have to be aware of that with them.
Shower was great and so was the compost toilet.
I would definitely go back again.

Liked: Setting
Shops only a short drive away
Lovely beaches and walks nearby
Disliked: Lack of cooking equipment despite it being in the description
Poor lights inside and nowhere to hang the ones we’d brought
Nothing to clean to floor with after messy/sandy dogs, I don’t take cleaning equipment unless I’m camping
