Bankings Field non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The best 10/10 The location of the bankings was second to none. The views of the nearby hills, the trees full of birds and the wee stream are all gorgeous. Had the pleasure of watching the sunrise on a clear morning. Also at night, thousands of stars shine bright. All the staff we're all really friendly. The area of the business was notably litter free and clean, surprising considering the number of people that it appears to attract. The shop was very well stocked. Not cheap, however very reasonable for the quality you get. Can recommend the organic cider (brewed from their apples) and organic pork sausages. Additionally the toilet facilities we're located next to the shop and we're clean and modern. Nearby there are a number of hills, woodland areas and a couple of towns to see. There's also a chance to spot red squirrels but unfortunately we didn't. Also a weird little tunnel just past Maspieden and rivers and waterways to jump over and enjoy. Camp fires are a welcome sight and required (we stayed at the end of April and the temperature dropped to 1 degree at night) and all other visitors we could see were using them. We loved it and will hopefully be returning in the summer.
Disliked: There's nothing to dislike, just go, you'll love it

Liked: Booked as needed a site for an overnight stay whilst travelling down the East Coast. So glad we did. Easy to find, the site is small simple site with enough facilities - no electric hookups or WiFi. It has an amazing organic shop and a vegetarian cafe. We would definitely stay again and for more than a night.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Liked: Stunning location. Owner kindly let us use hard standing even though we booked grass, due to weather. There was plenty of room for lots of vans. Only a very small area bad pot holes, contrary to what a previous reviewer wrote. The food in the cafe was very reasonably priced considering the quality . I paid £11.00 for a caramelised Onion frittata and a huge range of salads plus a wedge of fresh baked bread and butter and a latte
