Top Field power optional grass and earth tent or RV campsite
Liked: So quiet and peaceful, there is access to site from 2 junctions from A44, one is extremely steep and Campervan could beach so take care. Wonderful spot surrounded by hills and owner was very helpful and obliging.
Disliked: No complaints whatsoever

Liked: Andre was a fantastic host, he couldn't have been more helpful. he even ran us to the local pub because of my foot problem. The local pub was great food and great value. This was a nice quiet site and was a pleasure to listen to the birds in the morning.
Disliked: Couldn't find an elsan point. We needed to use our levellers as the site was slightly uneven. Was surprised at the daily electricity charge of £7.

Disliked: Pitches are all grass so gets quite muddy when wet. Was hard to get level on ramps.

Top Field primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Surrounding countryside
Disliked: Lack of attention to site.
Disappointed. For the price we paid for a small pitch with no electric - we would have liked to have seen a better quality of area. Just a feeling of lack of care. No light in toilet facility. Nice building which we initially thought was toilets showers etc but turned out to be site office! Run down shack for toilets. I wouldn’t of paid more than £10 per night for what was offered
Only plus for us was the surrounding countryside which was very picturesque

From the manager: Hi Catherine. Thanks for your review. I do wish people would let me know if there’s an issue with the site. I found out from another camper that the electrics had blown in the purpose built shower and toilet block. We had had horrendous rain previously and found that it had tripped our solar array and subsequently tripped the camp site electrics. So sincere apologies about no lights in there. Obviously we have lights inside but with the electrics tripped they were not operating. Now rectified. The site is purposefully cut as it is to give guests a real countryside camping feel and to encourage wildlife. The pitch you were on is 35ft by 26ft, and a special non electric pitch as requested which is the closest one to the toilet block. If you wanted electric then we could have put you on a closer pitch. The larger “nice building” is actually a craft cabin for workshops and a small part of it is for the camp shop and office. If you would like a FREE night then I would be delighted to see you both again. Hopefully we can do better for you.
Kind regards
Andre
