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.

Perfect in so many ways!
Powered gravel campervan campsite
Liked Fantastic site!! Owners super welcoming. We were there just after the VERY busy bank holiday weekend but it was lovely and quiet with a few tents and campervan dotted about. Ducks waking up to visit and a beautiful goose that thinks it’s a swan. Cafe looks amazing but wasn’t open when we were there! Facilities on site perfect! We will be back.

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.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The campsite is set in beautiful surroundings and overall has a pleasant atmosphere. However, we found it to be quite noisy at times due to frequent barking from farm dogs nearby.
One disappointing aspect was the lack of consistent hot water, particularly during midday, which was frustrating. In addition, the toilet and washing facilities were insufficient for a campsite of this size. With only two men’s toilets, three showers, and one washing-up sink available, there were often queues for both the bathrooms and washing facilities.
With more adequate facilities and a reliable supply of hot water, this campsite would have been superb.
