What customers say
Lovely location with great views, next to a popular pub. Staff are friendly, and the site, especially the modern showers/toilets, is very clean. Pitches are spacious and it's generally quiet. Some queues for facilities at busy times, and ground can get muddy.

Anonymous Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The campsite was great; there was lots of space and the facilities were perfect. There are two big bathrooms right by the pitch, as well as a small kitchen with a tap, microwave, and fridge (and heating!)
The Gilier Arms Restaurant was also great; we recommend the rump steak!
Disliked It was a shame that some other guests could not follow the rules about keeping the amenities clean and doors shut, but overall we really enjoyed our stay.

The best part about the campsite…
Anonymous Primitive grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The best part about the campsite was that it had availability for a bank holiday weekend at short notice.
Disliked The toilets were dirty , showers too . To be honest for £30 / night I expect more than dirty toilets and showers and a field to park in.
Recommend to friends Visit again
Would recommend this site and would visit again.
Anonymous Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Beautiful site and great location, pub on site (delicious meals and desserts) good size pitches, relaxed feel, microwave available for use, powerful showers, accommodating and helpful hosts (replied to queries), option to hire fire pit and supplies (reasonably priced), fresh eggs available to buy (honesty box)
Disliked combined toilet/showers. Floor always wet and muddy and toilet paper damp from condensation (but always in good supply). Cleaned regularly but unavoidable dirt due to wet room (shower) and people constantly in/out for the toilet. Separate toilets in another block very close by so that was an option. The shower itself was lovely and powerful but the floor was muddy and wet (no dry area) which made changing difficult. There was a bench and clothing rail for use but the bench got wet so needed drying before use. I would advise taking an extra towel to wipe the bench off then stand on then problem solved (I didnt take enough towels to do this unfortunately)
