Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Gorgeous views from the site, nice pub nearby, toilets and shower basic but clean. Owners came round every night and checked people in and also hired out fire pits and sold wood and firelighters which was really nice. Extremely good value for money in a gorgeous location. Really nice laid back atmosphere on site.
Disliked: You have to pay £1 for a hot shower for 5 mins which is a bit steep especially if there's a group of you - remember to bring change!

Liked: Friendly owners. Laid back pick your own pitch. Toilets and showers perfectly functional and were serviced regularly with no issues. Pizza was very nice proper stone baked. 2 decent pubs within walking distance.
Disliked: The ground was very wet and boggy. Vans /cars were getting stuck and within an hour or two the ground was like the somme. Mud over everything. Owners did have the means to tow people out.

Liked: The whole place was clean and well kept and we liked having the option to pitch up where we wanted. Facilities are basic but clean and there’s plenty of them. You get given an option for a fire pit which is good (we didn’t this time round because we were so tired and in bed for 9:30pm 🤣).
Disliked: N/A

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Toilets and showers clean, 4 of each, can imagine it would be very busy when the site is busy! Very quiet when we visited, very friendly people running the site, and although we didnt try it the pizza van looked great. In a fantastic place, and pub down the road was lovely.
Disliked: Very very boggy field due to heavy rain. Could do with a few hardstanding pitches and the path from the toilets being extended to the road so taht when weather is awful it can be avoided.
