Liked: A gem of a campsite, lots of little nooks on different levels rather than camping in a field. Scenery a Was stunning, very welcoming and obliging owner who lent us an extension for the hook up. Toilets and showers were clean and did the job. A great area for kids to explore and play without being out of sight. We only stayed one night but would definitely return!
Disliked: Nothing!

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Views from non electric pitch Clean toilets Extensive wash facilities including a laundrette Lovely site & fairly priced. Views were amazing, the grass was a good length & very healthy with picnic tables dotted around. Toilets & shower blocks were very clean & modern. Will definitely be returning 👌 overall I give it 9/10
Disliked: Close proximity of neighbours - supposed to be a 8x8m pitches but had way too many tents in the field it was a bit overcrowded imo Nowhere to walk our dog - dog friendly site but couldn't find a dog field to walk him, maybe we missed it l?
