Beautiful site with very friendly owners
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Beautiful site
Very friendly welcome, very friendly & helpful owners
A brook runs around the site with stepped access, amazing for cooling down in the heat!
Lots of nature flying over, buzzards, swallows, lovely to see
Nice big pitch, was quite busy but never felt too close to neighbours
Absolute sun trap in the late afternoon/evening!
Clean facilities
Disliked Fair bit of road noise, no fault of the owners but worth noting. Didn't bother me but might affect some people.
Biggest issue for me was there was absolutely no phone signal - again not the owner's fault, but just be aware if that's important to you. Some networks seemed fine but mine was not. I went up the hill to the church (1km) just to check in with the wife back home as I was on a solo multi day trip.
Hard standing isn't quite level, bring levelling blocks
Showers only lasted 5 seconds per push which got a bit annoying but not a big issue, temperature and pressure was lovely
Bring bug spray! From 6.30/7 there were a lot of bugs landing on my legs.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Flat shady pitch as requested. Clean facilities with friendly and accommodating owners. Enjoyed a paddle in the brook to cool down as we were there in very hot weather! Easy to find fromA40 and convenient for local attractions. Will use again.
Disliked Very sketchy mobile signal.

Happy overall and would recommend
Anonymous Powered grass campsite
Liked Nice clean site, everyone was respecting site rules and it was really relaxing, owners very relaxed and welcoming. We have young children so leaving the space in the middle for them to burn off some energy was nice as not every camp site does that, so felt like owners want you to have a nice time rather then get as much money as possible with pitches all over. Had a good stay overall!
Disliked Cob webs and spiders in the washrooms, not a massive fan of spiders. Showers done stay on along enough and have to keep pressing it in kind of annoying. Birds nest in washing up/fridge freezer hut, understandable that it hasn’t been moved but the amount of bird poo on the floor in there was off putting where your food is kept wasn’t nice. Maybe abit of wifi for the site would be good (there may had been some but we wasn’t told) as we had absolutely no signal for 3 network and with ill parents just a little bit of something would have helped us personally.

1 bedroom cottage / chalet / bungalow
Liked We stayed in the chalet for a few nights. The space was very clean and comfortable. There is a beautiful private garden overlooking the field, which made it special. The field is great with nice thick grass and the creek with a rope swing was perfect for cooling down in the heat. The free range hens were very friendly and entertaining. We bought a plant from the little stand, to take home.
