Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Nothing - the campsite doesn't appear to exist!
Disliked: 1800hrs we arrived at the exact coordinates of the site as stated on booking. My alarm bells rang as it was clear to me that the terrain and overall geography was completely different to that depicted in the photos. There were no obvious signage for a campsite, and no obvious entries.
On the off-chance that the address/coordinates stated on Pitch-Up were not quite correct, we drove the full length of Tump Lane, but still there was no site, nor terrain appropriate for pitching.
We called the mobile number provided on booking, many times but no-one answered.
