Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked: We were welcomed to the site by Paul who gave us the quick tour of facilities before showing us to our pitch. Everything has been thought of and is cheerfully presented. We came away for the weekend for a quiet break and had our own peaceful corner of the woodland with incredible scenery. We even met the pet piggies. We will be back.

From the manager: Thank you for reviewing us so kindly. It was lovely to meet you, and I'm glad our Piggies smiled for the photo! Hope to see you again.

Liked: We stayed in the cabin for 2 nights in the woods it was amazing, for our family it was a perfect break to get away from the outside world with no electricity or signal or no wifi. They thought of everyone’s needs inside the cabin for kids,too adults. We absolutely loved it and didn’t want to go home. We sure will be returning as a regular break away. The customer service was outstanding on arrival. Thank you see you soon.

From the manager: It was a pleasure to welcome you to our little campsite and glad you enjoyed your stay in the Cabin. So wonderful to have a little one in residence! Thank you for your kind review :) We look forward to seeing you again sometime.
If you love camping in the woods and feel like your own your own.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked: Great Camp site, loads of natural surroundings that make other people camping disappear within the woods. Very peaceful, owners are great and welcoming. Facilities are basic but in keeping within the surroundings. Great location for places to go
Disliked: Nothing to dislike
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for the lovely review. We are pleased you understand how we set the campsite up - to avoid disturbing the natural woodland as much as possible but still provide a place to camp and enjoy.
Got to go. Beautiful place and very friendly.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked: Absolutely loved the campsite throughout. The choice of pitches, all amazing and beautifully spaced away from each other to give privacy. Very clean and organised. Everything you need on site The couple who run it live in the cottage by the entrance, are so friendly and helpful. Wildlife was incredible. 2 types of owl, buzzards, firecrests and gold crests, butterflies in the hundreds and a muntjac deer walked through the middle of the site in the early evening. Also great location to visit lots of incredible historical sites. Lovely food and great landlord at the pub a short walk through countryside.
Disliked: Nothing

From the manager: Thank you for the amazing review! Wow! You have totally embraced our woodland and got the rewards - we feel very blessed to live with this wildlife on our door step but equally thrilled when guests get the same treatment. It was lovely to meet you and thank you for being perfect campers.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked: One of the best campsites I've been to in forever! The woods were absolutely lovely and I adored listening to the owls every night. The owner was really sweet and helpful! Camp had wood for sale amongst other things which was really nice and easy! Would 100% stay here again! Lovely places nearby, so highly recommend Sherbourne Castle as this was a gorgous place to visit and only 10 mins away. Was great saying hello to the pigs each morning as we got water for tea. 10/10 site, just be sure to take tweezers for ticks if you're taking dogs xxx

From the manager: Thank you for this wonderful review - it has lifted our hearts :) and makes all our year long work maintaining the woodland worth while. It was lovely to meet you and thank you for respecting your surroundings and leaving your pitch clear. So lovely that you explored the area as we are blessed with having unassuming history so close.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked: Brilliant location for those that are looking for proper camping experience. Very private sites with no open view of other tents. We loved the low key nature of the whole place and especially the warm welcome from Sarah and Paul. The local pub was also very welcoming and made for an easy night's supper! We will definitely be back.
Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: The location is beautiful and close to towns to visit and pick up supplies....beaches also an easy drive away. Hosts were excellent and the cabin is very well equipped, including the kitchen - we took far too much camp cooking things with us and used none as the cabin had it all.
Disliked: Nothing

1 bedroom cabin
Liked: Eco toilet / shower The bed was very comfy The bed sofa was a good idea Had lots of cooking stuff
Disliked: There was no bread knife It needs a better light it the bathroom It could do with a with a canopy or something for The decking area out the front to make it dryer
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for the review. New bread knife ordered! Our whole ethos of the cabin and campsite is to reduce light pollution and keep our site as natural as possible, but saying that we do provide rechargeable battery lanterns for 'bathroom' trips. Whilst the cabin is mainly candle lit. A cover over the decking is a nice idea but we do not have permission to do that as our cabin was approved as a basic Foresters Cabin predominantly for shelter / washing / cooking and sleeping, so it is what is is! Thank you for leaving it in a clean and tidy condition.
Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff and level pitches

Liked: Camping in the woods. Seclusion, Peacefulness, simplicity
Disliked: Would be helpful to have some access to a place to wash some dishes, brush my teeth
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review. Most campers utilise our mains water standpipe to do washing up and even brush teeth - much to the amusement of our piggies! Thanks for the feedback though.
