Liked: Cat was the BEST host. Great sense of humour and loved a chat. Camping in a field is exactly that. It was peaceful and in the middle of nowhere. Midgies being the national animal, means they are there too. Bring the right stuff.

Liked: Lady very nice. Had welcome pavk with water, sweeties, snacks some. Smidge vipes.had toilet paper and where to wash hands. Little toilet space. Had table for food and bin.
Disliked: A huge amaunt of midges. Couldnt do much outside at all. Sheep poo all over place Grass to big should cut all not just where tent goes. Tent up quick food make and in the tent rest of the evening. Far away from roads hard to find.
