Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: The location very rural and in the countrySide . Peaceful retreat . We were the only ones on the campsite ! ( which is common midweek ) Philip the owner is very welcoming and friendly. There is an option of having a fire pit onsite with wood available for small fee from Philip - great idea !
Disliked: Facilities are basic but you would expect that camping in the middle of a field ! Has decent loos and it does have a shower ( although roofless )
