Bell tent (medium)

Liked: Loved the quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Camp site was on a vast field. They had 2 horses which you can feed with carrots, kids were thrilled. Also had games (table tennis, badminton, etc) which we all enjoyed. Very clean toilets. Hannah was a lovely host which made sure our stay was enjoyable. They only accept cash so be prepared to bring in some money. Able to park and camp fire beside the tent. The bell tent was lovely and spacious enough for the 4 of us. Had a small fridge which was very useful for us. Clean beddings, floor fan was also very useful. Wifi was strong enough for our mobile phones. Overall was a lovely one night getaway. Highly recommended!

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Great owners friendly vibe on the site

Disliked: Not a dislike as such because we were in a van but maybe another toilet block could be added to the site

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks Gary, i plan to double up next year - was taken by a bit of a storm of people on bank holiday! I actually shut down further bookings earlier that week! Make our toilet shower block look like a shepards hut too ❤️ An emergency port a loo will also be added! Amazingly no “ great British queue” though ! Was great to meet you. Thanks for coming 🥰

Quiet, personable, back to basics ❤️

Bell tent (large)

Liked: The welcome… she really has a lovely demeanour and is so approachable and helpful. Seems like nothing is too much to ask. The large bell tent is awesome. Space, amenities and cleanliness. This is a new set up and by her willingness to sort things out for you, she will definitely excel ❤️ Very basic site for now!!

Disliked: Not really a dislike but the site is new and lots of learning curves and teething problems but we sincerely hope it goes from strength to strength.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The best camping spot I have ever seen in the entire county. Perfect location with a beautiful, natural view. I could even see the Milky Way galaxy at night. The host will take care of you and ensure you are happy and satisfied with your camping experience. Recommended for families and children. I will definitely come again Many activities are available in the local area. The facilities are very clean.the pitch's perfectly level. you can play football there

Disliked: Nothing! Everything's perfect

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Quiet, relaxing and a very clean well run campsite. Toilets were kept clean and always had a nice fresh smell everytime you went to use them. Campsite also has wifi which was amazing since the Olympics were on.

Disliked: Being told to move in a field that appeared to say pitch any where which wasnt the case.

Claire S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Single mum with older kids but felt safe. Tranquil and peaceful setting. Lots of space per pitch The owners are very attentive without being in your face. Loo block was basic (will be updated) but always spotless and well stocked with loo roll and soap etc. Hannah, the owner, has produced a leaflet with various local attractions some of which are not expensive for a cheap getaway.

Disliked: There is, understandably, no hot water at the washing up station. Not a massive amount to do within walking distance (unless you want the pub or to hike) but well appointed for car journeys.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Quiet location Hosts were friendly and helpful, told us of things to do in the area Lots of ball games on the field to play with Pub very close by (walkable, 15mins) and village shop (drivable, 5mins)

Disliked: No hot water for washing up No freezer for ice packs (only able to freeze through hosts freezer, so only accessable when they were around) Only one unisex shower and 2 unisex toilets, this is fine other than it was a very small space and felt and bit uncomfortable sharing No bins for rubbish (had to take it all away apart from food waste)
