What customers say
Praised for its peaceful, natural setting & friendly owners. Guests appreciate good value & communal facilities like a kettle & fridge. While generally clean, some facilities are basic & a walk away. Minor points: occasional noise, need for better signage. Many want to return.

Primitive cement/asphalt campervan campsite
Liked I really enjoyed my pitstop at Howdy. The campsite is very nicely laid out and the available facilities are excellent. The shower and toilet was clean and a small common room is provided to allow phone charging, access to a microwave, and a fridge freezer. I was fortunate to enjoy the panoramic views from the campsite on a lovely sunny evening. The glamping looks fabulous - I will most definitely visit again!
Disliked Not much to dislike really! I had stopped off enroute to a wedding in Scotland so didn’t explore the local area. I didn’t use the wifi so can’t comment on that.

Nice little site.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked My second visit and the new shed by camping is an added bonus. Good basic camping with a few extras (kettle etc.) a short walk away by the shower and toilet. Nice little site with a very slight slope with trees around for shade, plenty of picnic benches and fire pits.

Good camp site and would stay again if in the area.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Nice remote area and short walk to a local pub around 10-15mins on back lane then small village road was quite quiet. It also has a sink setup in the main camp and some power sockets for phones. While in the main toilet block a short walk you have fridge, 2 toilets and 1 shower will not the strongest pressure was a nice to have the option it still worked sufficiently to shower.
Disliked Nothing
