Oak Woodland non-electric forest floor tent pitch
Liked: This site was perfect for our stay. Our pitch was everything we wanted, private enough to feel as though we were just out in the woods but also with other pitches being near by. The facilities were great, nice hot showers. Host was very friendly and happy to help. There is also a great walk nearby along the estuary! We also saw so much wildlife here - it made a great “switch off” break

Wooded non-electric earth campervan pitch
Liked: We’d paid extra for a wooded pitch with space for our gazebo which was well worth the money. Our pitch was great, lots of space and freedom for the children. The downside to this was the campsite amenities were a trek away but this didn’t bother us at all. The owners were very accommodating and welcoming, and always available if needed. The amenities were of a good standard and well maintained, cleaned regularly, and the showers were hot! We washed up by the pitch but there were washing up facilities inside. Also a well stocked little shop. Provisions and firewood were fair prices. The whole area was absolutely beautiful, surrounded by fields, forests and mountains. There was no phone/internet signal by pitches but there was a code to join wifi up at the site amenities. This was perfect for us but if you want connectivity at all times then this probably isn’t the site for you.
