From the manager: Hi Summer , Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a lovely review. We’re really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.

It’s great to hear you enjoyed having the butchery shop on site and found our facilities clean and convenient. We try to make the campsite feel rustic while still providing the essentials, with portaloos placed around the fields as well as our toilet block and shower facilities near the yard.

We really appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back to Nightingales Rustic Camping again soon.

Liked On this occasion the site worked, I arrived by bicycle.. 1st mistake was not checking elevation .. it’s on top of a 1.6km climb 😬 arrived late, made welcome decided to shower before going across to camp field.. basic field with portaloo spread around. Single no frills shower is basic.

From the manager: Hi Dave,

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that our campsite wasn’t the right fit for you.

As a rustic countryside campsite, we aim to provide a peaceful environment where guests can enjoy nature, wildlife, woodland walks, beautiful views, and stunning sunsets. Many of our visitors choose us specifically for this experience, so it’s disappointing to hear that it didn’t meet your expectations.

You arrived after our advertised check-in hours, but I still took the time to personally welcome you and show you around our family-run campsite to ensure you were settled in comfortably.

Regarding access from your pitch, there are two routes available: one involves a small incline, while the other follows a flat lane. Guests are free to choose whichever route best suits their needs.

In terms of facilities, we believe we offer a good range for a rustic camping experience, including a kitchen area with a fridge, kettle and microwave, two showers, drinking water, and both flushing toilets and portable toilets. All of these facilities are provided free of charge for our guests.

At £12, we work hard to provide a simple, affordable countryside camping experience with no extra charges for using the facilities on site. While we appreciate that rustic camping isn’t for everyone, we’re proud of what we offer and of the positive experiences enjoyed by many of our guests.

We wish you all the best with your future camping trips.

Kind regards,

Charlotte

Liked Lovely staff.

Hot shower.

Location great for stopping off in the way further south.

Facilities in a kitchen-ish space I didn't expect microwave, toaster, kettle.

Disliked Only 2 showers.

The inconsiderate people who flew a drone over my camp once the tent was up.

Presumably it was a neighbour have a party with really loud music late into the night.

Would be nice to have a quiet space to camp away from the buildings and animals.

I would not like to arrive late in the dark due to the lane, roads and track/grass passing tents so I haven't been able to return yet.

From the manager: Hello Tarayogini , Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re really pleased you found our staff lovely, enjoyed the hot showers and liked the extra facilities available in our kitchen area.

We’re sorry to hear a couple of things affected your stay. We do not allow drones to be flown over guests’ pitches and wish we had been made aware at the time so we could have dealt with this straight away.

Regarding the music, unfortunately the weekend you stayed a neighbouring farmer’s daughter was holding a wedding celebration in the evening. This was completely outside of our control and not connected with the campsite, but we completely understand that noise travelling across the countryside can be frustrating.

We do have quieter areas available further away from the main yard, buildings and animals, so if you do decide to visit again please let us know when booking and we’d be more than happy to help choose a pitch better suited to you.

The lane and track are part of our rural countryside setting, but guests are welcome to arrive during daylight hours and we’re always happy to help advise on the easiest arrival arrangements.

Thank you again for staying with us and for your kind comments. We hope to welcome you back again in the future.

Liked Lovely local place for us, felt like we were a million miles away though. It has a shop on site, the lady bought over a portaloo nearby to where we were camping for ease which was handy, great weekend had!

Liked Absolutely silent just me and my dog by a fire. Loved it. It was a Sunday tho
Clean portaloos
If it had wild swimming I'd of never left

Disliked Couldn't get hot water for washing up but didn't interfere with my enjoyment

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re really pleased you and your dog enjoyed a peaceful stay by the fire — sounds like the perfect way to relax!

We’re glad you found the facilities clean. Regarding the hot water, our water is heated by our environmentally friendly biomass boiler, so occasionally it can take a couple of minutes for the warm water to come through.

We hope to welcome you both back to Nightingales Rustic Camping again soon.
