Primitive grass campsite
Liked Spacious pitches that were easy to get to, were nicely spaced out. The campsite has some lovely views and the facilities were really clean. The girls loved watching the bats over the pond as the sun set.
Disliked Even though it’s only a small site, and extra toilet or two would be amazing (there are two) as a couple of times we had small children’s bladders that had to wait!

From the manager: Thank you for your kind comments—we’re so pleased you enjoyed the spacious pitches, views, and those sunset bat sightings!
We appreciate your feedback about the toilets. As a small site, space is limited so we’re not able to add more facilities, but we do our best to keep them clean and accessible for everyone. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Powered grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Spacious pitch, toilets were very clean. Very pretty site. Pubs within walking distance.
Disliked No fault of the owners hence no mark down on the stars but the pitch next to us had 3 cars 2 tents and a bivvy set up after the owners had been round there was atleast 6 kids and 5 adults the kids kept taunting our dogs which was stressful for them.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thankyou for your feedback, our apologies to you regarding the camper next to you, we do allow more than one tent in a pitch but not 3 cars & 11 people 🙈
This is very rare on our site but if it does happen please feel free to ring us so we can sort it out.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked We had a fantastic stay at Wheathill Campsite and would highly recommend it, especially for families and dog owners.
The site is spacious and well laid out, giving kids plenty of room to play safely without feeling on top of other campers. It’s a really relaxed, friendly atmosphere where families can properly unwind.
It’s also very dog-friendly, which made a big difference for us. There’s plenty of space for walks and exploring, and it’s clear dogs are genuinely welcomed rather than just tolerated.
The facilities were clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. You can tell the owners take real pride in the site.
The hosts were lovely and friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.
Overall, a brilliant campsite for a stress-free family break with dogs. We’ll definitely be coming back!
Disliked Nothing!

From the manager: What a wonderful review!! Thankyou, look forward to welcoming you back.
It really is a lovely area for dogs with miles of opens fields straight from the site so glad your pooch enjoyed it as much as the children.
Thankyou for recommending us 🥰

The Nest cabin (pet friendly)
Liked We stayed at the nest cabin in February and it was cosey and lovely. The cabin was clean and tidy. The decorations around the cabin made it seem more homely. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. The hosts were very accommodating, patient, and keen to help. They were very responsive to our questions and queries. I would highly recommend this place to people. My partner fished at the lake and was very impressed with his catches. Thank you for giving us a wonderful time!
