Liked The space, the wilderness, not having to worry about waking people up in the morning etc. The owners were really lovely and despite being in the middle of nowhere the compost toilet was so clean and tidy. Lovely spot will definitely be back.

Perfectly serene setting
Primitive grass and earth RV campsite
Liked Great layout and very friendly welcome from owners who took us right to our pitch along with fire pit, wood and even a firelighter. Had a great night in a perfectly serene setting and the owners were even able to accommodate me hanging my hammock. There were some dogs barking a bit late into the night, but not sure if they were other campers or from an adjacent property. Other than that was fantastic and could even hear a tawny owl in the next field before I nodded off.
Had a great sleep and will definitely be back.👌👍
Disliked Having to leave.
