Liked: Had a lovely night stay. The sight does actually exist, we didn’t find it on our first drive by but I pulled over and called Rachel who guided me back. Great facilities and a lovely lady.

Primitive grass tent or campervan campsite
Liked: The whole set-up was perfect. There was a great converted barn that hosted activities and also housed the 2 clean toilets, sink, shower facilities and if you really wanted to be lazy a kettle and washing machine! If you are looking to legally "wild camp" this is a great site as there are big unplotted pitches and lots of privacy and you are close to nature but if you do require clean toilets, washing facilities and even a friendly welcoming host that offers quizzes, discos and morning yoga then this is ideal. I think we saw "Matt R" a previous reviewer leave and then arrive during our visit so ignore his review - this site absolutely does exist and is wonderful.
Disliked: The grass in the wild meadow was a bit long but it soon squashed down and these are definitely first world problems. What more do you want for this nightly rate!

Primitive grass tent or campervan campsite
Liked: Spacious field, nice toilets. Electric kettle. Borrowed a barbecue to sit our disposable one in which made it much easier. Friendly hosts. I like that it is a basic campsite - no need for lots of extras.
