Unbelievably well kept, but noisy and it has the Big Brother factor.

FHU grass tent campsite
Liked: The campsite is extremely well maintained, including the toilet and shower blocks which are always immaculate. The staff are helpful and friendly. The option of WiFi is nice, and the location is great for National Trust visits.
Disliked: Although this campsite is beautifully kept, that comes at a cost, which is one of almost constant noise due to the grass cutters and strimmers. On top of that is the nearby road noise which is tolerable during the day, less so at night, as well as the small aircraft which fly most of the time directly overhead. Something which others might find a positive we did not, which is the CCTV camera pointed directly at our tent. Good for security, but bad for being able to just relax without feeling watched.
