Liked: A beautiful well maintained site with outstanding views to open countryside. The site was small and exceptionally peaceful with well maintained landscapes and touring pitches. The onsite facilities were immaculate. Shower and toilet facilities were very clean and easily accessible. The paddocks was an added bonus with an array of different animals that the children thoroughly enjoyed. The owners were so kind and helpful and would often engage you in conversation. Whilst viewing the animals staff were enthusiastic and informative. The cafe looked lovely we did not visit this during our stay this time. We would definately recommend a visit.
Disliked: Nothing to add. Completely satisfied.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review! It's great to hear the children loved the paddocks and that our staff made your stay enjoyable. We appreciate your recommendation and hope you get to visit the cafe next time. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon!

Liked: Very peaceful . Lovely views . Jacky , Amy , Glynn and Simon all go out of their way to make your stay special . Spotless toilet and shower block . The Curlew Cafe is really cosy with a good menu , well worth a visit . Weather wasn’t the best and the animal paddocks were closed and the play park was waterlogged . But that was no fault of the owners . You can’t predict the weather ! It’s still a lovely campsite for a relaxing stay .
Disliked: Nothing to dislike ( apart from the weather )
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for being our guests and for taking the time to leave your review. It was a pleasure to host your stay. We are very disappointed to not have the animal paddocks open yet. For our animals welfare the ground conditions need to be much drier. Next time you visit we hope you all can see them enjoying their beautiful outdoor spaces.
