Liked: The really friendly welcome from the owner, the stunning location and views. Your own private bathroom. A lovely babbling brook right nxt to you. A proper hard standing parking location. Within 10 minutes of parking up, i had deer walking past within 20 feet. A fantastic place to sit and watch the sun set.

Liked: Booked by accident, intended to book for the end of June but mistakenly booked for end of April and so glad we did. What a wonderful find, single pitch with it's own sink for washing up, a clean toilet, a table, chairs & sun umbrella overlooking wonderful forestry. We saw some deer and just before we left the owner (Vince) greeted us with some fresh eggs from his chickens and told us there are some wild boar in there too. It's also an amazing sun trap, south facing so we had sunshine all day long. Looking forward to our return visit in June.
