What customers say
This quiet, basic site offers great countryside views & a village pub. Friendly owners & clean facilities, though showers are lacking. Well-located for walks. Many want to return! Watch for road noise & uneven pitches.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Peace and quiet, no light pollution at night. Friendly site.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Small, peaceful 'rustic' site in a quiet corner of a quintessential English village, with a church on the hill and a lovely Pub. Among rolling countryside but still close to 'civilisation.'
No frills, but there's a decent loo, wash up and disposal area.
EHU on our pitch which was huge.
Disliked Despite a huge pitch, levelling our M/Home wasn't 100% possible, even with chocks we were still out. Given we were only there two nights not a major issue. Irritating at best.
The grass could do with a cut, given the un-evenness there were a couple of trip hazards, but again, a niggle.
There IS something that hums at night - it's the water pipes which I think feed nearby horse troughs ! A minor observation.

Basic but very pleasant ,
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Novoli farm has a very relaxed atmosphere and plenty of space. Facilities are limited but very clean. Easy electric hook up with 16 amp supply. No check in but locked gate protects the site and access code sent in plenty of time. Good information given by owner re things to do and places to eat in the vicinity.
Disliked Only one ( but very clean) toilet. With a bit of a queue in the morning one extra would be beneficial

Good value and clean
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked It was a friendly site and we were welcomed with many useful information instructions emails and messages.
Light in the toilet, which was so good and bins were emptied, everything was clean
Disliked Toilet seat was loose and I had to keep putting it back in place.
There was a humming noise close by all night which I must confess disturbed my sleep, don’t know if this was a one off but it was not from the campsite

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Lovely walk through vineyard to local village pub. Great information re local area sent via text.
Disliked Campsite is smaller than anticipated and was busy on the Saturday night so felt rather busy and penned in.

Lovely, basic site. Exactly as described.
Primitive cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Very small, quiet site. Clean toilet, washing up area, rubbish disposal. Good communication from owner. Very peaceful. Lovely village a short walk away. Nice views. We had the small back field to ourselves and a flat pitch, although some are sloped. We live fairly close and stopped over for a night to test some additions to our camper but this would be a great base for exploring the area. We'd be very tempted to visit again just for a peaceful day or two!
Disliked Not a dislike, more a heads up. The gate in to the back field in is on a bend and was a tight fit for our camper (mk7 Transit minibus conversion) I think a much wider or longer unit would struggle. The front field was easy access.
