What customers say
Great wee spot – flat, clean, friendly owners with good local tips. Handy for travel and exploring. Some facilities could do with a spruce-up. Access roads are tight, better for tents/motorhomes than vans. Many'd return for a chill break.

Dog friendly site
Cannot hear any noise of vehicle as it is secluded from the road
Disliked 1. Toilet was a nightmare. There was one toilet block and shower at reception which was good but, they repeatedly told me that there is one toilet block near the tent, i tried going at it many times, but it was filled with cob webs and at night it would become home of uncountable full sized snails and slugs , on the walls, on the toilet seat on the floor , at the door handle. Toilet definitely needs to be taken care of by the host.
2. The location is close from the main road but on a extremely narrow lane for just 1 vehicle with twists & turns so you have to be careful. We faced a tractor on the way and had to drive reverse a long way to find a passing place
3. There is no proper place to brush your teeth or hot water at wash area. There is sink in the toilet block but unclean toilets carry smell and germs so cant be used for brushing. Only one place outside the toilet block to wash utensils but it didn't have any hot water and was under open sky so you have to wait for the rain to go away.

It's a nice site and quiet
Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Flat ground, can park anywhere you like
Owner is a nice guy
Quiet
Clean
Hot water for indoor shower is nice, room could do with an update I honestly think that £1 for 10 minutes shower is very generous
Disliked Not so much didn't like but needs attention;
Outside toilet needs updating
Washing area needs hot water and a plug
Could do with being under cover
Could do with hedges to protect from the wind for tents, we had our windbreakers up but it was still windy
Roads there are exceptionally tight not suited to towing a caravan but tents, motorhomes, campers would be fine.

Powered grass caravan site
Liked Really easy to find and close to the motorway. We arrived late at night as we decided to travel missing the bank holiday traffic.
The field was so flat so no need to adjust the van before we went to sleep.
Bathroom clean and we woke up to such peaceful surroundings.
Really recommend as a stop off sight if heading south.
Disliked No dislikes

Liked Lovely site. Andy very friendly and helpfull
Perfect stop over for one night before we started our holiday in Cornwall the next day. Very near to A 30
Disliked Although it was a lovely site the road in is very narrow so when towing a touring van is awkward. I think it is an ideal site for tents and motorhomes rather than tourer vans

Perfect little campsite.
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Wonderful little site that we will definitely revisit. I’ll admit we were dubious when we first arrived as it’s a fairly small site but we actually had plenty of space and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners were welcoming, friendly and more than happy to help with everything and anything. It’s a basic site with decent amenities which is all we tend to look for and that’s what it provided. Even got freshly laid eggs off the neighbours one morning! The on-site animals entertained the kids (and the adults!) and everyone camping was respectful and friendly. WiFi signal was good and consistent, not what we go away for but it’s a necessity these days. We’ll definitely be back!
Disliked Nothing it was perfect for us.
