What customers say
Lovely, tranquil spot with amazing views and river walks nearby. Super clean, great facilities, especially showers. Friendly, helpful owners. Watch out for occasional Wi-Fi glitches and longer drives for food; pitches can be tight when busy.

Powered grass tent campsite (no pets)
Liked We had an amazing stay at this campsite! The views were absolutely stunning, with a beautiful river running through the site and sheep grazing all around, making it feel so peaceful and picturesque.
The toilets and showers were spotless, with plenty of hot water at all times. The people were incredibly friendly, and the whole site was very quiet and relaxing—perfect for getting away from it all.
We were lucky enough to have fantastic weather throughout our stay, which made the experience even better. We highly recommend this campsite and will definitely be coming back.
See you next year!

Liked absolutely everything. When you arrive, you get shown where you can pitch, where the toilets, showers and washing up is.
The toilets and showers are very clean and the showers have nice hot water. The washing up room has 2 mini freezers, a fridge, a microwave and tons of games, books, dvds and cds to borrow.
Such amazing views from the camping dell with a picnic bench and grate to hold BBQs which you are free to move how you want.
Lovely walks and hikes all around the campsite. Everyone around the campsite were very nice and friendly, would highly recommend

Wouldn’t want to be here at peak season
Powered grass tent campsite (no pets)
Liked We arrived on a Wednesday (beginning July) was lovely little camping area by stream. Good location 10 months walk from pub. Toilets short distance from tent. Washing machine (£4) and tumble dryer (£2) worked well and handy to have freezer
Disliked The pitch felt a little overlooked by owners and by Friday night to many tents in camping area meant they were to close together and we were kept awake till midnight by loud drunks chatting in tent next to us. Once the site got busy there were not enough bathrooms for among
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased you enjoyed the campsite, its location, and the facilities.
We're sorry you felt overlooked. As you were the first tent to arrive, you were able to choose your pitch. We appreciate that the short electric hook-up lead you brought limited your options, although most campers tend to pitch closer to the river rather than near the bank.
We're also sorry that noise from neighbouring campers disturbed your stay. Had you let us know at the time, we would have been happy to speak to them.
Our tent pitches are spaced approximately 3 metres apart, and during your stay there were five tents in the camping area. We provide four toilets and four showers, which has always proved sufficient for the number of campers we accommodate, so this is the first time we've received feedback that the facilities were insufficient.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your comments.
