What customers say
Highly-rated woodland campsite with spacious, secluded spots. Guests loved the friendly hosts, clean facilities (flushing toilets, hot showers), and covered cooking areas. A few minor notes on compost toilets and firewood costs were addressed by management. Access is via a narrow lane.

Excellent mostly but contact the campsite direct to confirm details.
Bell tent (five person)
Liked Lovely quiet campsite. Enjoyed having our own cooking facilities.
Disliked The listing in PitchUp stated that there would be bedding available for a spare bed in the Glamping bell tent. The owner told us this was wrong in the listing and one of us had to sleep in all our clothes for 2 nights and it was extremely cold!

Favourite camping site!
Primitive forest floor tent campsite (woodland)
Liked Amazing place, feels like wild camping while having some basic comfort. Perfectly working fireplace/bbq space, nice covered place to prepare food/coffee, flat spot for tent, and great shower/toilet facilities. Great and friendly host as well!

Very friendly staff, lovely peaceful & large pitch. A lovely stay.
Primitive forest floor tent campsite (woodland)
Liked Very friendly. Pitch was private and peaceful. The wooden shelter provided was invaluable as was the bin and fire pit. Felt very safe.
Disliked Not really a dislike, however the toilet and shower facilities were a little basic. Very clean, but the shower was fairly cold (I think I might have just been unlucky as others commented it was very hot). Where we stayed there was only one male and one female toilet (portaloos were a little smelly). This did not impact our stay at all though.

Primitive forest floor tent campsite (woodland)
Liked The large shelter for cooking and sitting under is a stroke of genius! This allowed our group of 4 (on a 4 tent pitch) to sit outside in the dry and also cook without having to put up a tarp. The woodland pitches are a good size and really well spaced out throughout the woods so that you hardly know anyone else is around. The showers are spacious and the water is warm, facilities were all clean. We liked being able to have a fire once the rain stopped.

A great site for a family trip.
Bell tent (five person)
Liked The surroundings were beautiful.
The showers were clean.
The yurt was well presented and had everything we needed.
The host was brilliant, bringing us everything we needed.
The USB sockets in the glamping field were an added bonus!
Disliked We did not like the toilets. We were out off by the amount of flies in the compost toilets. There was not enough sawdust in the bucket for the amount of people on the site.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your lovely feedback about the yurt, facilities, and our hosting – we’re so glad you enjoyed the surroundings and your stay overall. We appreciate your comments about the compost eco toilets. This is our first year using this system, and we’ve been learning as we go. Since your visit, we’ve adjusted the type of sawdust we use and improved the supply to make the experience more pleasant for everyone. Your comments have helped us make those changes, so thank you again.
Lovely camp site for a short trip if in the field.
Primitive forest floor campervan campsite (woodland, maximum 6 metres)
Liked The space, friendly and helpful owner. Ice and logs delivered super quick! Lovely hot showers but limited to 5 minutes.
Disliked The compost toilets weren't the best. The hole for the toilet was very far back!
