What customers say
Immaculate, peaceful, adults-only site with beautifully maintained grounds & level, private pitches. Staff are friendly & helpful, facilities are spotless, and the on-site bar is charming. Minor notes on shower design/bar hours, but highly recommended for a relaxing getaway.

Disliked There was a fair bit of faffing with the hookup app. There were issues on 3 of the 4 days which needed staff assistance. They were great so it wasn’t too much of a problem.

Liked Very clean and pretty site. Private pitches, beautiful gardening. Onsite bar is great.
Disliked Limited items in onsite shop
Coffee in the bar on a the morning was terrible. 2 lattes came as 2 cold black coffees. No plant milk.
We needed to leave at 7am but were told we were not allowed to as it was a quiet site, so we left the day before.

Very clean site
Liked everything about the site.
Disliked Only one thing, pitched near the tents and unfortunately woken up as their dogs were barking at 11.45 and 3.10 am. And on the last night woke us up after midnight with loud voices arguing
This was on our last night.

Liked The hedges! I’ve never seen such a well kept site, it was like Minecraft. A lovely atmosphere, great location and a warm welcome when we arrived. The bar is brilliant and had a great selection and a cosy atmosphere to enjoy a drink.
