Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Great place to stay
Shepherd's hut
Liked Location was great and so quiet. The local pub, the Church House Inn's food is something special. The site is clean and well-maintained. The hut was well equipped with plates, cutlery, clothes, and washing up liquid.

Fantastic site! Like something from a fairytale!
Microlodge
Liked Remote location, peacefulness. Clean site with clean facilities. Good space between pitches. Wildlife haven with many walks to do around and from the site. Being so close to the main expressway you can’t hear a thing other than the animals which was pure bliss. Definitely be coming back.
Disliked Heater wasn’t very warm, but we luckily had our own fan heater. Only other thing is could have done with something to sweep up the pine/leaves but again that is something we could have brought ourselves.

How quiet it was in mid…
Primitive forest floor tent campsite (wild)
Liked How quiet it was in mid October, it was lovely. The cleanliness of the facilities. The pitch I was allocated was perfect. Welcoming to motorcycles. Good value. Great location close to the dual carriageway, but no road noise. Dark skies, perfect for stargazing. Nice pub nearby but expensive. Easy to travel by motorbike to South Brent for groceries, there's a few shops plus two chip shops.
