Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Great location, easy check in, lovely views. Very clean portaloos. Relaxed pitch-anywhere vibe. Walking distance to castle / countryside / pub. Access to river. Friendly staff on check in and easy to find
Disliked: No showers, which is fine for vans but being a tent camper really limits me to one night stays which is a shame as it’s a lovely site.
