Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: What a gem this site it! Spacious for the amount of pitches. A beautiful river that runs along the edge. Privacy! Very clean facilities. Level pitches. Just all round fab site for those wanting the basics for a great price.
Disliked: I wish there was somewhere closer to buy logs and charcoal. There is someone who sells them by the side of the road nearby but supply is unreliable. Bring cash for these! Don't bother with the garden centre. Though there is a building next door that says logs on it, the person who ran it no longer supplies from there and the staff at the garden centre are rather unfriendly about it.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The site was very peaceful - a few camping so not lonely but plenty of space.
Disliked: Only 1 shower and 1 male and 1 female toilet. Not an issue at all for this break but if the site gets busier then clearly more will be needed :-). Liked the freedom to turn up, choose our spot and pitch - but felt that I needed to book in with someone somewhere and couldn't get the owner on the phone! There could be clearer signage saying something like 'sort your self out and I'll catch up with you later' I spoke with the owner's brother though, so all was good x

Liked: Lovely quiet site - nobody bothers you - youngest loves playing in the river and the resident dog that came to play with her also. Clean toilet and shower. Close to multiple tourist villages you can visit. Girls loved the horse and chickens also
Disliked: One occasion there was no toilet roll but we tend to take our own over just incase as owners can’t be expected to check all the time
