What customers say
Spacious, level sites with great country views. Staff are super friendly & helpful. On-site restaurant & bar are good value. Farm animals add charm. Facilities are clean but dated, some need updating. Overall, a great stay with many wanting to return.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















As a large family group we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked A lovely little site in a beautiful location. The owners / staff were so accommodating, funny and friendly. The pitches were a good size with power and water close by. The bar was well stocked with spirits and local draft beer, lager and cider, and not too badly priced. The toilets, showers and washing up facilities were perfectly acceptable. The outside seating areas were great and well sheltered in the from the sun and wind. The site rules meant everyone was polite and respectable, making it the great site for all group types.
Disliked Just being nit picky here as these things weren’t a massive issue, but a minor inconvenience. There was no waste bin in the gents shower room and the bin was tiny in the washing up area. The bar/cafe opening hours were limited over the bank holiday weekend when we were hoping to stay on site and use the facilities and not drive into the newest town. The warm water ran out quite early so many of our party had Luke warm or cold showers, or had to wait an hour while the showers were closed off to heat up before heading off out for the day. Finally, the females in the group would have liked sockets by mirrors for hair drying/straightening.

Amazing natural site that's quiet, clean & friendly
Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked This is our new favourite site. As soon as we pulled in we received a friendly welcome from Michelle the new owner who explained how everything works and where to go.
The park is a lovely quiet place at the bottom of a hill with wildlife everywhere. It's the perfect stop for a relaxed quiet stay in nature with the benefit of excellent clean facilities and a great bar and cafe.
The cafe serves nice home cooked food at fair prices and the bar is well stocked with local beers and Peter is great craic and really friendly.
Don't pay any attention to the reviews upto 2025 as it was ran by different people. And although Peter says it's still a work in progress you can see all the great work they have put in to make somewhere really special.
Needless to say we will be back.

Liked The site was beautifully located and laid out. We had a great welcome from the host and she helped us with an extension to our electric cable. Facilities great.
Disliked The cafe wasn't open yet as too early in the season, but this wasn't a big deal.
