Bell tent (deluxe, no pets)
Liked: Great location, fantastic hosts. We hired 5 fully furnished Bell tents and 1 pet friendly tent. Furnished tents were nice, big enough to accommodate 4 adults and we're provided with everything one would need to have a very comfortable stay. Sarah and Andy were super helpful hosts. Forest surrounding the site is full of birds and animals, you can hear them in the night. Toilet and shower facilities are good. Toilets could be even better with a use of bit bigger hand washers and mirrors.
Disliked: Nothing

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked: The lovely layout and simplicity of the site, with lots of space around each massive pitch make Forest Edge stand out. Forest Edge looks beautiful with its wild meadow separating the well-kept grass pitches. The space was perfect for us and our reactive dog, I've never seen him so relaxed, both day and night because he didn't feel the need to 'guard' our tent/pitch/van/campsite/county... :) On a 'normal' campsite you've got people walking past the tent day and night so he barks a lot. The solar showers were brilliant, clean and hot. The toilet facilities were also perfect. The hosts were very welcoming, friendly and kept themselves busy all the time.
Disliked: The only downside for us on a site with no electric is that there isn't a communal freezer for freezing ice packs. Although we were allowed to put some in the owners' freezer it felt a bit cheeky. A separate freezer would be a massive bonus in summer.

Liked: What a fabulous place. Huge camping area so it is not at all crowded. Lovely and welcoming hosts. Excellent hot showers and toilets. Everything solar powered. Good 4G signal. Idyllic location on the edge of a forest. Dog friendly. Everything we needed and we had a lovely couple of nights here. 5* and we would come again. Thank you xxx
Disliked: Nothing except the banging music in the distance from the nearby Beautiful Days festival which is nothing at all to do with the brilliant camp site!

From the manager: Thank you David, We're so glad you appreciated the great location. After looking at several campsites it only took us one trip here to know that Forest Edge was the place for us. It really is something special. We hope to see you again in the future.

Liked: We enjoyed an excellent pitch site close to the forest with the hooting of owls during the evening. Sarah welcomed us with a lovely smile and answered all our questions. Showers and toilets kept clean and good hot water supply.
Disliked: Beyond anyone's control... the slugs! Showers and toilets need better lighting.

Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite
Liked: Absolutely loved the space on this campsite. That alone was the winner for us. The owner was so lovely too, and accommodated our special request. The facilities were fine, with the showers lovely and warm. The environment was so lovely around the campsite too, with owls hooting and birds singing, but also peaceful. Great location for exploring beyond the campsite too. Would definitely stay here again, in fact we did....the very next night!
Disliked: The flow on the water in the sinks in the loos was a bit low, especially after flushing the toilets but still enough to wash hands.
