Lovely friendly site, with a laid back feel and great facilities.
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site (pet friendly)
Liked Throughly enjoyed my time here! Lovely pitches and well maintained facilities. The campsite had a nice chilled out feel, and I very much enjoyed the company of the friendly cats, dog and chickens on the site. There was a lot of good information regarding the local area to be found, and the communal fridge was very useful for storing perishables.
Would highly recommend, and look forward to visiting again the future!

Perfectly situated, good size pitches.
Easy to find.

Great little site, back to basics camping, but that is its charm!
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site (pet friendly)
Liked It’s just a lovely little site, basic, but delightful - good sized pitches and you’re not on top of each other - only stayed for one night, but I’ll be back for sure. It is basic (and I don’t mean that in a disrespectful way) but that’s its charm. No EHU but that’s not the end of the world as there is a communal fridge/freezer, it has everything you need, showers and toilets were clean - I just loved the layout of the site, very “back to nature”. I wish I could have stayed longer than the one night and will next time, it’s a charming little site and within minutes of arriving was chatting to three other campers on the immediate pitches who were friendly and all complementary of the site! Oh, and the food in the pub next door was delicious!
Disliked Only thing was no mobile phone signal, WiFi would have been handy as I’ve recently lost my wife and wanted to keep in touch with the kids - but not a deal breaker! The pub has WiFi, just meant I had to pop there - that should be in the likes section really lol

Liked The loos were clean and very pleasant. The showers were so warm! The shed with a kettle and fridge were a lovely unexpected surprise! Made the stay very easy! The board with the pitches on made it easy to find where to say! The campsite was easy to find. The grass was mown with lovely wildlife corridors. The campsite was very quiet.
Disliked Turning out of the gateway back onto the road was not fantastic visability, but not impossible to navigate by any means.
