Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Peaceful spot with great walks and a warm welcome
Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked We had a fantastic stay at this campsite! The pitches were really spacious, giving us plenty of room to spread out and relax. There were some lovely walks directly from the site, which made it easy to explore the area without having to drive anywhere. The kids loved the swings hanging from the trees and spent ages playing badminton – such a great bonus to have those extras on site. A special mention to the owner, Davey, who was incredibly kind and even helped us jump-start our van when we had a bit of trouble. Couldn't have asked for a more welcoming and well-equipped place to stay. Highly recommended!

Great stay and a place to revisit.
Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked We had an excellent few days here - the pitches are huge and there is so much space around. And it’s so peaceful! The fire pits are great and the ability to purchase some logs are an added bonus. There was a friendly and informative welcome too.
The toilets and showers are clean and well maintained and the washing up facilities are fine.
Seeing children running and cycling around enjoying the space and the rope swings was lovely - reminds you of the simple things in life!
It was a shame we weren’t staying at the weekend to be able to visit the pizza van or coffee hut!
We will definitely be back!
Disliked Nothing really!
It was just a shame that some people staying on site don’t adhere to the dogs on leads rule and let their dogs race across the field.

Brilliant stay, pitches were generous and washing facilities clean.
Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked Brilliant, lots of room for us all to pitch 4 tents and a kitchen space and have space to put up 2 gazebos in the middle for 15 seats around the firepit.
The 8 children were off playing nearby most of the time.
Disliked Shared hand towels in the toilet area, would have preferred paper towels or prior warning to bring own hand towels from home.

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked Lovely peaceful site and ideal opportunity to test my new drive-away awning. Toilets/shower block were clean as was the washing up area. Staff very helpful. In short, a very successful stay and hope to return sometime. As the Kitts website mentioned there is poor mobile phone reception and no WIFI which is to be expected in a country area lined with trees.
