Beautiful location, lovely and quiet

Liked Location, quietness of the site.
Great campsite
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Very quiet. Hannah is really nice and really hands on making sure that people keep the noise down at night and respect the rules. Loved the shaded gazebo and the games for kids. The kids said this is the best campsite we've been to. Also, toilets are very clean. Wifi is also a plus. The area is beautiful, with lots to do
Disliked Only one shower, 2 toilets and one washing up basin is not enough for the number of tents. I know that Hannah is aware of it and already has plans to add more showers, so that might be resolved soon. Also, tiny nitpick, but it would be nice to have a freezer available for people to put freezer blocks to be able to keep things nice and fresh in a cool box over a few days
Lovely place , clean and tidy . Very quiet at bedtime .

Liked Beautiful spot , Hannah was really lovely and very welcoming . Good basic facilities .
Disliked Was quite obvious that the neighbours don’t approve of the site . It did feel a bit like they were always on edge worried campers/guests would upset them .

Liked Lovely big and well kept field
Pitches were spaced well
Clean shower & toilets
Disliked 2 toilets to a lot of guests, but they are sorting soon
The changing rooms were locked
Highly recommend - Value for money, friendly. Ideal base for exploring
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The friendly, relaxed atmosphere. It was welcoming and spacious and the pitches weren't crowded together. The site manager was very helpful and understanding when I got a bit muddled with the electric hook up. We liked the quiet and the assorted family games that were available to use.
Disliked There only being 2 toilets and one shower room (had 2 showers in so ideal for a family) and the lack of hot water for the washing up. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi wasn't working when we visited - my children were not amused.
From the manager: Thank you for your review and the feedback :)
Absolutely correct about the wifi - annoyingly the new router arrived the day after you left :(
Toilets/showers - i agree! We have 2 new toilets awaiting construction and its the next job on the list ( i plan for higher doors too :) )
Yes - i can see how it is frustrating with cold water wash up. But you will be pleased to know i have thought of that too-
Hot water is indeed coming in the coming weeks! For now, a kettleful of boiling water should take the chill off :)
I will put a washing up bowl out there I think tomorrow.
Loved meeting you all, hope you enjoyed the milkshake. .. my girls are missing yours already - we hope to see you back.
Lovely to meet you. Thank you for staying with us !
amazing family time close to nature
Primitive grass tent campsite

Thank you Hannah for your hospitality.

Look forward to welcoming you back !
All the best :)

Rainbow bell tent (medium)
Liked Loved the quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Camp site was on a vast field. They had 2 horses which you can feed with carrots, kids were thrilled. Also had games (table tennis, badminton, etc) which we all enjoyed. Very clean toilets. Hannah was a lovely host which made sure our stay was enjoyable. They only accept cash so be prepared to bring in some money. Able to park and camp fire beside the tent. The bell tent was lovely and spacious enough for the 4 of us. Had a small fridge which was very useful for us. Clean beddings, floor fan was also very useful. Wifi was strong enough for our mobile phones. Overall was a lovely one night getaway. Highly recommended!
