What customers say
A friendly, spacious spot with generous pitches, cafe, play area & animals. Praised for location, cleanliness & helpful staff. Basic but clean facilities, with some "rustic" bits needing TLC. Watch out for steep entrances & outside noise.

Powered grass site (water hook-up)
Liked Lovely site quiet and well maintained. Beautiful sunset! Facilities clean.
Disliked While the showers and toilets were clean and well maintained there were not really enough showers and wash basins for the size of the site. While I like rustic there needed to be more indoor wash basins.
Also would not recommend the Sunset field if you have anything which is susceptible to wind as anything above a light breeze comes whistling across the field from all direction. - Just a fact of nature and just a warning - our blow up drive away did not like it one bit!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for the comments. I wonder whether you found all of our washing facilities we have some additional in a building attached to the site. We could have pointed you in the right direction had we known your concerns at the time of your stay. Similarly we would have been happy to give you a pitch on our more sheltered field. We are up quite high here and the wind does blow across but I have to say it was a very windy weekend in April.
We were not aware of any queues to use the facilities and have an additional two showers ready to be opened up once maintenance allows.
We hope to see you again and please feel free to ask for a more suitable pitch should the need arise.
Not as expensive as other sites you get what you pay for .
Powered grass site (water hook-up)
Liked Great corner grass pitch plenty of room quiet site , very rustic needed a coat of paint and a tart up in places , money being spent on the loo blocks ladies showers pristine in presentation and shiny and new , lovely hosts some activities on site .
Disliked The wooden barn area hopefully was next in list for repair it was very unkept where table tennis was .
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you , we are rustic but as you see we update as and when we can. The wooden barn area is not now used as much and does need a tidy up but we will be relocating the table tennis and it at present serves as an undercover area, especially useful for cyclists to sit/eat and it houses our communal camping fridge.

Liked Friendly staff very welcoming our pitch was spacious
Disliked The site looks very mis-mashed thrown together look, the toilet block was just Portaloos stacked together not undercover, basins to wash your hands but nothing to dry your hands with
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: I am glad to say that over the winter we have been able to refurb some of the facilities. The portaloo style toilets still remain but we have plenty of other choice including two brand newly refurbished ladies shower rooms with toilets and one gents new shower room. Photos will be uploaded soon.

From the manager: Thanks for the honest comments.
Just a note on the scores given - sites like ours rely heavily on reviews and on the score the reviews generate on sites like Pitch Up.
In this example Lee has headlined 'Does what it says it does' and booked us on that basis.
So then to knock the score on value for money and facilities etc bringing the overall down to 6 seems a little unfair.
Every time a lower score is received it has a knock on effect on the campsites overall score.
So my point is please be honest but please think carefully about the scores given. A 6 for you when you got what you booked might seem fair as you review but for the campsite it can have a potentially detrimental effect.
Thanks for staying and thanks for listening.
