Liked: The atmosphere was lovely, very quiet and calm but friendly. The kids all ran around and the adults were able to relax and enjoy the peace! Everything was clean and pleasant. The surrounding area was beautiful. Claire was an excellent host.

Liked: Such a lovely family friendly site. Pitched in a well kept field with lots of room around each pitch, surrounded in patches of wildflower meadows. The owner was helpful and friendly. My children especially loved her horses and cats (she kindly tolerated their many questions while going about her chores). The facilities were clean - different from other sites we’ve been on, £1 for the shower and BYO loo roll but this didn’t bother us, it clearly works best for the owner and her business. As a family with young children this site was brilliantly safe and offered lots of room for my children to roam freely. WiFi wasn’t the best but happily gave me the push to put my phone away for the weekend in place for my book.

From the manager: What a lovely review thank you. I'm. Glad you appreciated what I'm all about.. I think it's good for the soul to. Immerse oneself in nature without the Internet and read a good book. It's what I try to do in my garden when I've weeded and mown the lawns!
Fabulous Stay!

Liked: Everything!! Lovely site! Fabulous and clean facilities, Claire was so friendly and she had truly thought of everything you might need. Toaster, kettles , microwaves, fridge/freezers in the communal kitchen and all the little bits you might have forgotten. We had a brilliant stay. Oh and fresh eggs from the chickens too!!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: The pitches were well marked out and spacious. The site was pretty and facilities were all close together and easily found. The shower runs on a coin machine - £1 for 10 mins, so don't forget to take your change with you! The kitchen area was fab and the toilet clean - just don't forget to take your toilet roll up with you as there is none provided. The horses and chickens delighted the kids. Short walk to sandstone trail to go hiking. Host was friendly and welcoming.

Liked: Owners were helpful and friendly, met on arrival with helpful information. Lots of families on site and everyone was friendly. No noise after ten. Good well marked pitches.
Disliked: Limited toilet facilities, otherwise would of scored it five stars.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review. I'm sorry if you had to wait to use bathroom. It's very rare that I see anyone waiting to use the bathroom and then it's only on a bank holiday when I'm totally full as in this case. I'd just like to make a point not related to your feedback but to the previous one where I scored six for cleanliness. Over may bank holiday weekend I was on site constantly and was sitting on the bench overlooking the stable yard. I inspected the toilets and kitchen countless times throughout the weekend sweeping and mopping and emptying bins and changing wet tea towels.id like to thank the campers who stayed for being so tidy and making my job easier. I'm very careful to always make sure all facilities on site are tidy and hygienic. I'd like to take this opportunity to point out to previous campers who.may be thinking of returning, that I have had a new non slip floor installed in the shower which looks very smart and is easy to keep clean. I've also had lino put down in the sitting room next to the kitchen which looks smart and clean.
