What customers say
Great spot for local sights and walks. Guests loved the on-site brewery with live music, tasty burgers & clean facilities. However, reports noted issues with loo roll/soap, chilly showers, and uneven pitches. Some found it pricey with absent management & misleading ads.

Would not return! Book elsewhere
Unpowered grass site
Liked Other than the location - this was a poor experience and the description on pitch up is very misleading
Disliked Tap room was closed and website did not state this.
Coffee shop / cafe was closed and is apparently permanently closed but is still advertised
Dog poo everywhere, despite paying extra to have our dogs there… we had to pick other dog poo off our pitch as well as cleaning up our own.
Thistles everywhere and craters in the ground from it being so dry.
Basically paid to sleep in a field
No elsan point
No vending machine as described on the website.
No staff anywhere to speak to or discuss the above with

It's a no frills basic campsite. Don't expect too much from it.
Unpowered grass site
Liked Nice quiet location. Very clean toilets. Didn't ever see anyone cleaning them but they were always spotless. Showers could do with an upgrade but we're a good size and the water was almost instantly hot.
Disliked There's a micro brewery attached but note.... it's only open Thurs, Fri and Sat. There are no other facilities on site.

We will not be staying there again anytime soon!
Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Not much to like
Disliked The site is not manned so seems to be a bit chaotic!
The showers were cold.
The drainage for the showers was in the ditch right near our motor home so there was a constant smell of dirty water.
There is no Elsan point for emptying our toilet and when we phoned the owner of the site he said they hadn’t got around to installing one yet. We were then told to empty it down the drain behind the shower blocks!
There were dogs running free all over the site as there is no designated dog field and no poo bins available for dog waste!
There was no farm shop or milk available as stated on their website.
At £50 per night we expected better facilities - the website is very misleading.
