Fabulous site!
Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked Beautiful site. Very picturesque. We went in September so very peaceful. Surrounded by fields and horses. The owner was really friendly and happy for us to stroke and watch the horses. The pub nearby was absolutely delightful. A real gem! Beautiful village with a church - nice to stroll around.
Disliked The showers were cold but that might have been a one off because everything else was perfect!

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked Simple, spacious field with designated spots for parking and camping. Lots of room between sites, as well as small hedgerows in between for privacy. The toilets and showers were very modern and clean, as were the washing up facilities. Simple, straightforward and really well maintained. Will definitely visit again!
