What customers say
Top marks for spotless facilities, sound staff, and grand pitches with views. The pub's a winner for grub, craic and entertainment. Grand for families and dogs, though a few more loos wouldn't go amiss. Folks love it and are keen to come back.

Stunning, simply the best I have encountered
Electric optional grass touring pitch
Liked What a fantastic site.
Lovely well kept site with amazing facilities.
Childrens play area is very safe, secure dog walking area surrounded by a nice safe fence.
Kitchen cleaning facilities are brilliabt with lovely hit eater and thr toilets / showers are simply supurb (recently refurbished).
The staff are lovely (especially Malcolm, who was a right character).
Very family friendly and orientated.
The pub offers great food and like the site has amazing facilities and a great choice if beers. Charlie Basset offers fresh pizza and every pitch has running water and electric hook ups.
This site is now my first and only choice for camp stops.
Very competitive prices and lovely countryside to enjoy. Free WiFi was a bonus.
The family will not be disaponted.
Murtle (our Camper) and awning fitted a treat and there was plenty of space beteeen us and our neighbours.
Kevin, Matt and especially Malcom will offer you a warm welcome and every attention you may need.
Happy camping, enjoy and dont break my favourite site!

Cant reccomend thsi site enough we absolutley loved our stay here.
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Just came back from 6 days during 6 week holidays, was looking gor a place near Alton Towers and suitable for the kids aged 13 and 12.
We was so impressed by this site and after 4 years of caravaning probably best site we have been to.
Site and toilets were spotless
Great large play park area
Pub was lovely and caught the live singer who was great and loads of outdoor seating.
Not a massive site but pitches were great size and not pushed up against your neighbours
Beautiful scenery
Really friendly staff for thw site and pub
Great location only took 20minutes to alton towers
Lots of public footpaths to explore, id recommend going through church grounds opposite and a pathway at the back through the cow field.
Loads of history in the area and loved talking to owner and son about the area and them checking we enjoyed our stay.
We are already looking at dates to come back.
Thanks for a lovely stay.
