What customers say
This well-kept, friendly campsite boasts excellent, clean facilities, including private shower/toilet cubicles. Guests enjoyed the peaceful vibe, beautiful lakes, playground, and games room. Dog-friendly areas and helpful owners/staff were a hit. Minor building noise and pitch privacy concerns were noted by a few.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Good to start with, but ruined at the end.
Power optional grass tent campsite
Liked Good facilities generally. Really cool little honesty shop selling great honey they make on the farm.
Disliked As we were having our breakfast, the owner came up and told us that there would be an extra £20 charge for charging our EV overnight. It was plugged in via a 13-amp plug on a mobile mains unit, and only actually pulled around 7 amps to add ~30 miles of range overnight, so that we had some wriggle room to get home. This is a commonly done thing and there was nothing in any of the documents to say that this was not permitted. I stood in front of him and worked out that even at 69p per kWh, which is over twice the UK average and about what one might pay at motorway services, it would have cost £8.40. His response was "Let's call it a tenner then". In reality, he almost certainly made a profit on the £5 I had already spent. The conversation was loud and embarrassing for my partner, so I paid up.
All in all, I paid for an electric pitch, I paid £5 to connect the electricity, then I had to pay an unmentioned £10 charge for actually using it.
It is a shame because we were looking forward to going back, but I don't dare drive past it in future in case the guy helps himself to any more of my cash.

From the manager: Thank you for your review and especially for mentioning the charging of your EV car via the 16amp hook up box on each pitch which is what you use to plug domestic appliances in via a 13amp cable. ie kettle, phone charging, cooking etc.
Firstly, by your own calculations you used "£8.40" you think, this is still £3.40 over the £5 paid, so I can only assume that you would of expected us to pay that additional money for you to charge your car. Whilst talking to you in the morning, you where boiling a kettle, cooking bacon on an electric cooker and toasting bread. All in addition to charging your phones and on top of that plugging your car in to charge. Unsurprising we had to come out at 5.30am, as the electric had tripped due to the over loading, which was caused by you. Had you of asked about EV car charging we would of pointed out the ACTUAL charger to you. I fear your partner was more embarrassed by the clearly cheeky actions of trying to sneak in a car charge, knowing that this wasn't allowed.
We very clearly have an EV charger onsite for guests to use and pay for their car charging, also this has the correct amps for car charging, so that it doesn't over load the electrics. We ourselves own a 40kw zoe, fully electric car, so understand how much it costs to charge cars.
We are a micro site, owned by husband and wife, we are not part of a massive chain or group and get NO help with outgoings. As you can only image our expense has tripled over the past year and we operate on the minimum or margins.
We are on commercial electric rate, which is A LOT MORE than domestic.
Would highly recommend to anyone

Power optional grass tent campsite
Liked The dog field was very useful, the site was clean and tidy and the washing facilities were some of the best we have used on a campsite.
Disliked It didn't affect us but the house being built looks like it will overlook the entire camping field which would put us off staying again.

From the manager: Hi
Thank you for your review and we try really hard to make sure that all the facilities are clean, as there is no worse!
It is our house and it is now finished, The bedrooms are on the top, so we really wont be looking over everyone. This is our forever home, as we wont be a campsite forever. One day we will return the fields back to grazing for animals.
Positive stay. Would return.
