Great value and food
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Easy booking, site was quiet and clean. Amazing food at the pub and cost of camping taken off the bill.

Clean facilities and very friendly people.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Level grass pitches. Didn't choose electric hook up. Had delicious food in the pub and got our £15 pitch fee refunded - great idea and a lovely surprise!
Disliked The narrow road down to the site was a little hairy as motorhome is 7m+. Maybe mention this aspect in the blurb. More suitable for smaller motorhomes, campervans and cars.
