Camping pod
Liked We love it here. The current fire ban is totally understandable and it actually makes such a nice atmosphere around the communal fire pits where everyone is cooking.
The site is clean and quiet, with great facilities for a wild camping site, I.e: communal fridge and freezer, kitchen for cleaning, showers and toilets.

Power optional grass tent site
Liked Everything. Beauful wooded area, peaceful at night, and my 6 yo, loved meeting new friends to play football in the open space, small shop for essentials, large TV in seating area, toilets cleaned daily, and a pub a short walk through the woods. What's not to like. Thankyou.

Microlodge
Liked The thought that went into the layout of the site. Lovely woodland walk to local village. Microhut was clean and really sweet. Parking outside and bench very nice for sitting out. Arriving after closing the hut was ready and open for us. Very thoughtful
Disliked For me the mattress was very firm.
I’d have preferred to have been a little more tucked away, people driving and walking by until late.
