What customers say
A small, adult-only touring site behind a village pub. Spacious, level pitches with picnic tables. Pub toilets available 24/7. Great food and drinks at the pub (pre-order). Peaceful, handy for M1, good for dog walks. No showers, but a clean, secure, welcoming stopover.

Great little find
Powered concrete and grass site
Liked Fantastic find which we booked last minute as we needed some work on our van carried out locally.
The site has a great layout, with water nearby, electric hookup and a waste cleaning point - even our own little picnic table. The site is secure and just a few feet away is a wonderful little pub - lots of atmosphere and friendly locals.
We only drove through the village but it looked beautiful and the hills surrounding suggest there is some great walking.
The owner was very friendly - even delivering my wife’s sunglasses after she left them in the pub - thank you for that!
I did see a review saying WiFi was an issue. We had no issues at all and were able to stream Netflix over EE.
I’d like to come back here and get to know the area better. It’s a gem of a site and I have no hesitation in recommending.
Disliked The fact we could only stay one night as we were passing through - wish we could have stayed longer.

Liked Camp was lovely and clean and well maintained lovely and quite
Disliked No direct water hook up and no where to walk the dog which is a shame also very weak Internet connection which really does let the site down

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review. However since other people will no doubt see and read this we feel it necessary to respond as the 5/10 given is not a true representation of our site.
Your dislikes refer to water hook up and weak internet?
Prior to making your booking there is a comprehensive list of what we have to offer. Individual water hook up and internet are not listed!!!
May I suggest that next time you make a booking for a site such as ours i think you should check the facilities available a bit more diligently!
The comment with regards to dog walking is simply unbelievable!!!
The field next to the site (which we own) leads to field after field where it is possible to walk a dog literally for miles in uninterrupted beautiful countryside for miles!!
Secondly across the road from the pub is a pathway which again gives access to uninterrupted countryside offering open fields suitable for walking dogs.
Might I suggest that it would have been a good idea to ask for information on suitable routes for dog walks rather than being a typical keyboard warrior making ridiculous comments on a review.
Also for future reference if you approach a gate that is closed and you wish to go through - it would be common decency to close it and not leave it open as in our case our dogs escaped.
You left the gate open every time you used it - thanks for that!!!!

Liked This was an absolutely lovely site.
Extremely peaceful and pitches were roomy and very level and well kept.
Great communication prior to our arrival and we were informed which pitch we had been allocated.
The pub is lovely at the front of the campsite and access to the campsite at the side of the pub is easy.
Situated in a great area to visit local attractions.
We would definitely stay again.
Disliked Nothing to dislike the campsite is great.
