Perfect site, lovely owners, clean, relaxing.
Unpowered grass trailer tent or tent site
Liked Lovely stay as always. Toilets clean. Communication great. Fab fire packs. Pitches clearly marked and free from debris.
Heather was great when we couldn’t make our planned trip due to illness and was incredibly accommodating.
Heather also went around the camp site helping people pitch in wind which was a lovely touch. Above and beyond!
Disliked No fault of owners, but some music went on past the quiet hours. Expected on a Saturday evening.

Great stay and great location overlooking the valley.

Liked Location, Facilities as described. Lovely welcome for the host.
Great location but factor in wind and bring own toilet paper and milk!
Unpowered grass trailer tent or tent site
Liked Friendly owner, beautiful views, close to a lovely village pub, spacious pitches and fire pits are a great touch.
Disliked The well documented wind but, as someone has said, that’s the price you pay for the spectacular views. However, I wouldn’t recommend pitching an Air Tent. Ours kept collapsing in on itself, my dog couldn’t settle so we resorted to sleeping in my car from 2:30.
While difficult to police, fellow campers blaring music until 12:45 also didn’t help my night’s sleep. It was only when another camper screamed at them where to go, did it stop.
Lastly, there was no toilet paper in either toilet when I visited at 6:30 (which I don’t think is particularly early and plenty of other campers were beginning to stir then too) and no milk available for my morning cuppa. I’m working on the assumption milk is normally available, based on a sign in the self-service area.

Liked Campsite was great, brilliant location, lovely views.
Ran out of firewood and was able to call someone from the site who came pretty quick with some more
Disliked The wind
From the manager: Thanks for your review. We're pleased you enjoyed camping with us.
Amazing views,very windy!!
Unpowered grass trailer tent or tent site
Liked The views are spectacular!!!
Disliked Very windy, no shelter from the wind (trees)
Rubbish bin wasn't open, so there was litter dotted around.
The water tap is very slow and the sink area could do with a tidy/clean.
From the manager: We are pleased you enjoyed our stunning view. Our hill top position gives us uninterrupted views stretching for miles. Sorry about the wind spoiling your stay.
In regards to the rubbish the lock on tbe bin had jammed. Our campers had neatly placed their bagged rubbish next to the bin and we fixed the problem as soon as we were aware. Fot the safety of our cows, its imperative we keep the field litter free, so we clear any litter as soon as we see it.
We also regularly check and clean the sink, but it's only as clean as the last person left it. If you'd let us know at the time we would have popped up straight away.
Couldn’t fault this place, basic but done exceptionally well.

Liked Loved no extra charge for a second car or dog. Milk on request was lovely and went well in our cuppas. Kids loved running through the longer grass with the dog and playing hide and seek. The main area of camp site was short grass and very obviously marked out. Liked the fact there were fire pits available to use for the obligatory s’mores! Toilets really clean and water replenished often. Ground easy for pegs too. We’re already planning our next visit!
Disliked Absolutely nothing!
From the manager: Thank you so much for the lovely review, it means a lot to us. We love to hear about your time with us. Hope to see you again soon.
Big pitches, close to a pub, but when it's windy it really is windy
Unpowered grass trailer tent or tent site
Liked Big spacious pitches. Toilets were very clean, albeit only the two on site.
Unfortunately we didn't get to experience the free milk/water etc as the wind was so bad we had to pack up an hour after getting there. The downside of such good views is being very exposed to the weather.
We will come back and try again, hopefully without the tent blowing away.
Disliked Not much really, other than the wind, which I imagine will always be noticeability stronger being where the site is.
From the manager: Thanks for your review. We are pleased you like our site. The wind was strong when you stayed. We recommend pitching along the hedge from entrance when its particularly windy.

Unpowered grass trailer tent or tent site
Liked Loads of room for the kids to run around, pitches were far enough apart so didn’t feel like we’re on top of one another, toilets were clean and well kept and added bonus of fresh milk and drinking water available for free
Disliked Nothing about the campsite, just the weather especially the wind, everything else was spot on.
From the manager: It's great to hear the kids had a good time and you enjoyed some of our lovely fresh milk. Look forward to welcoming you back soon.
