Camped mon 27th till fri 31st…

Jul 2026

Liked Camped mon 27th till fri 31st july. Cost £120 non electric grass pitch. Really impressed with this little site. Not been camping for years but decided to take grandkids (8,4 and 3yrs ) chose this place as it had a pub on site and a play area and was in the middle of 2 places we wanted to take the kids. The pub wasn't open the first 2 days but the owners daughter welcomed us and told us where to go. The toilets and showers are well looked after and cleaned every day the tent field had a train track running past the bottom but it was well fenced off and the kids were safe to run round and we didn't have to worry.also the trains weren't too loud and we made a thing out of it by waving to them going past. The play area was suitable for the little ones but not for the 8 yr old though she enjoyed playing supervisor and using her walkie talkies. We had dinner In the pub on wed and thurs night,the food was lovely and not over priced and the staff were lovely and very friendly. On the whole we had a lovely time and the kids loved it too. We will def be back next time we want go visit the area again.

Disliked Would of liked a bigger play area
