What customers say
This adults-only site gets top marks for spotless facilities, including warm, music-filled showers. Pitches are private and spacious, divided by hedges. Staff are friendly and helpful. Enjoy the peaceful vibe, nearby pubs, and walking trails. Road noise is occasionally noted, but most guests loved it and want to come back.

OK for a weekend, with good pub close and some nice villages around.
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Nice greeting, plenty of space on allocated plot.
Disliked No Wi-Fi on the area we were in, in fact no Wi-Fi anywhere for 3 days. Luke warm showers in gents. The biggest problem was road noise early morning from road outside, nothing the campsite could control.

Excellent site, level pitches, well maintained, recommended.
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Tidy, well laid out site. Surrounded by trees, with individual pitches hedged apart, so feels quite private. Quiet and peaceful, a little traffic noise, but not intrusive.
Friendly and helpful staff. Good facilities, clean showers and toilets. Nice site overall.
Disliked Piped music in the shower block. Weird idea.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The size of the pitches was great. It was a peaceful spot and even a bit of noise from the road wasn't disturbing. The facilities were good and clean, - my friend and I enjoyed our stay- the site was a good base for our trips out into the countryside.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Having hedges or at least some bushes between pitches was excellent as they gave some privacy. The grass pitches were a very good size, thank you…and the facilities were clean although the shower cubicles definitely need to be updated…but the shower itself was excellent. Plenty of places to walk the dogs on the leads from the site. Sadly no free WiFi on the grass pitches.
Disliked Too expensive at £37 a night.

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking time to leave a review and your comments will be fed back to the owners. The pitches are actually £35 per night and £2 per dog. It's always worth checking online for regular offers too.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked We had a lovely big pitch that was right by the shower block. The showers and toilets were clean and very pleasant to use. The staff were friendly and knowledgable about the area. Good location, very close to some beautiful villages and excellent pubs, plus supermarkets. We really loved this site and would definitely use it again.
Disliked We couldn’t get a good tv signal, possibly due to a large tree that may have been blocking the signal.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much for taking time to leave a review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay in spite of not being able to obtain a tv signal, which is odd as we've not had that issue before.
