Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Everything! Nice flat ground with freshly trimmed grass, marked out pitches big enough for our big tent and van. Honesty shop selling everything you could need for good prices. The personal touch of communication with the owners. Beautifully clean toilets and showers. Play area and goal posts for the kids to play on. Lots of wildlife, the dawn chorus from the birds was amazing. Large gated off camping field for an added bit of security. By far the best campsite we've ever stayed at. Will definitely be returning.
Disliked: Nothing

Wolf's Paw camping pod (two person)
Liked: Great facilities, all spotlessly clean. Great communication from the owners. The breakfast is worth adding on (£10 for the full English but can have sandwiches etc) Great honesty shop for fire making, drinks, ice creams/pops and toys for kids. Nice communal field for children to play and fire pits to be used. Small park area on camping field. Royal hill pub (5 minute drive away) does lovely food. Situated on a really quiet road
Disliked: No dislikes to be honest! Having to leave? The closest pub being 2 miles away? Nothing they can do about that.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: 10/10 this was our best camping experience so far. Really well looked after field. We had the whole place to ourselves. The facilities were spotless, there is an honestly shed that’s very well stocked. Football goal, walks from the field. Excellent views too.
Disliked: Barking dogs from very early morning and very often. Not sure where they were located though.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. It’s nice to hear positive comments as we have worked hard to make it the best we can. The site is still quiet as we have relocated the camping to a new field, but we already have returning guests. We do know the dogs you are referring to as they are a neighbours and unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it, I wish there was!!!! Hope you return soon.
