Paradise
Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Bonners Lodge is a small campsite with about 10-12 pitches. Pitches have water and electricity. You will like the countryside, Its situated amongst wonderful scenery with impressive views over the green hills in every direction. Lots of walking paths starting close to the site that would take a few days to explore.Its maintained in superb condition with attention to detail that you wont find very often. There's a TV Games room with table tennis and bar football and there is long range wifi. Around the site some intricate wood carvings that are well worth seeing also add to the charm. The owners keep a lot of animals including Donkey, Horses, Alpacas and Goats not to mention chickens. On arrival, we were met by Michelle who is a lovely lady, very friendly, helpful and engaging and she keeps the place immaculate. Its really is a lovely place to stay.
Disliked Even though the amenities are so very clean and well maintained there is only one toilet in the gents and only one in the ladies.This could be a slight problem for some when the site is full.

The best place I have ever stayed in with my campervan.
Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked A small, excellent site with everything to recommend it. The whole site is well thought out, with the spacious pitches separated by privacy/ wind break fencing. The host is knowledgeable, friendly and usually busy caring for the many pets but still has time to chat. The large games room and kitchen is a lovely addition.
The best place I have ever stayed in with my campervan.
Disliked Nothing to improve.

Peaceful place to recharge your batteries
Barkers Bay fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site
Liked We were pleased with the size of the enclosed pitch we booked - fantastic for the dogs to be able to mooch freely, though they were surprised when two alpaca heads appeared over the fence! We had a peaceful relaxing break and enjoyed being in close proximity to all the animals. Facilities were very good - clean washroom, well-equipped games room, big enclosed dog field and wonderful birdsong to wake up to.
We don't generally return to sites we've visited, preferring something new, but we're planning to return here because we loved it.

Everything was clean and everyone was friendly with spacious pitches
