Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Location and set up where great - very posh for a wildcamp. We really appreciated the communications we had with Sue before our arrival, and Henry's relaxed welcome.

Peaceful and basic, maybe better for small wild camping tents
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked I did like the basic style.
I did see toilets and a water tap available but I didn't need these.
The site was easy to find and was quite peaceful.
Disliked Unfortunately the site is quite a sloop so this made it difficult to find a good pitch. I ended up pitching sideways.
Also my car got a bit stuck on the grass which really stressed me out.
I did find the site quite expensive.
Lovely little campsite with helpful, flexible owners.
