Liked: A lovely small campsite in a beautiful area. The kitchen facilities with fridge, washing machine, microwaves and a small sitting room to one side was very clean and although we only used it to do our washing up was very welcome. There is a toilet with shower and second toilet at the back of the kitchen so plenty of facilities for the size of camp. The owner was very welcoming, greeting us on arrival and pointing out where everything was and the closest shop (a very well stocked farm shop 2 minutes drive away) We were the only people staying so told could set up anywhere we wanted which was nice. Although we were the only people there the site had plenty of space and looked like everyone would have plenty of room even when full. Sadly we were only there for one night trying a new tent we had recently purchased, not having been camping for quite a few years, but we loved every moment and wished we could have stayed longer.

Liked: Owner was friendly, the baby loved being able to see the chickens, horses and the yard cat. Cat was super friendly. Large pitches with plenty of space.
Disliked: Not an issue with the campsite at all but we had no signal or Internet. Not a problem though for us :)

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review. I agree, the Internet is a problem.. Its very poor in the whole area. I've been on to my provider and BT. on countless occasions. When I was at the Royal Welsh Show in July I spotted the openreach stand. I explained my problem and they were sympathetic and helpful. They advised that the government are pledged to guarantee a minimum Internet speed to every household in the UK. Great I thought and duly rang the unbiased department phone number they provided optimistic that with the government pledge to cover the first £3,500 to improve our coverage, our problem would be solved. I had a reply within two days. My hopes were well and truly dashed when I was told it would cost between £9,000,00 and £1,500,00 to provide a decent Internet speed! I'm told we will eventually have high speed cable, but until then I can only apologise.
Great stay…
