What customers say
This peaceful, secluded campsite gets top marks for spacious, level sites, many with private washrooms and decks. Facilities are consistently called spotless and modern. Guests rave about the friendly, helpful owners and the quiet, beautiful setting. On-site fun includes tractor rides and a games barn. Some found rural access tricky, noting potential issues with limited washroom/shower capacity during peak times, plus occasional flies and sheep noise. Gates locked after 10:30 pm were also a concern.

Not great
Powered grass tent or RV campsite (fire ring)
Liked Quite open space, fishing lake and fire pit
Disliked Toilets were not cleaned often at all and were very dirty, they ran out of toilet paper aswell.

From the manager: Hi Glenda
Many thanks for your review.
Apologies that our toilet roll ran out at 6 a.m. and that this ruined the entire stay for you. I’m afraid our staff don’t work at this hour. But once we were back on duty, the issue was soon fixed.
To confirm, our shower blocks are cleaned daily, and looking at our other reviews, it seems shower block cleanliness is the least of people’s concerns.
We appreciate this ruined your stay, but for a family-run business, a review of your stature can really harm a business. Hopefully, next time you can speak to your hosts or the owner before you try to hurt another business.
Many thanks

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay, Jamsey! We’re really pleased you enjoyed the peace and quiet, and that our amenities were up to standard. We do try to give guests plenty of space to relax without feeling overmanaged, so it’s great to hear that came across.

Powered grass tent campsite (adults only, no pets, Private restroom amenities)
Liked Everything about the pitch was great! Having the decking area to pitch on or use as a deck is great! Even having a toilet right next to you saving the morning run across site was a massive bonus. 30 mins to some beautiful beaches! Would definitely stay again!

From the manager: Hi James
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! We’re really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us in July.
It’s great to hear the electric grass pitch worked out well for you — the decking area is one of our favourite features too, and we’re glad the private bathroom facilities saved you that morning dash across the site! It’s also good to know the location worked well for exploring the nearby beaches.
Thanks again for recommending us to friends and for saying you’d visit again — that means a lot to us. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Many thanks
