Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (medium)
Liked: Everything! The site is very clean for starters, and that's due to the two amazing on-site workers. They were lovely and told us everything we needed to know. The toilets and showers are spotless and are in their own individual rooms, so privacy is great. There's also a nice utility room with a washing machine and dryer, as well as board games and outdoor games. There are also extra purchasables like candles, fire pits, marshmallows, etc. And the views are great on a nice clear day, which we were blessed with, seeing far into the distance with all the mountains. I'm sure I'm missing some things, but it was lovely.

Liked: Lovely site with what appear to be new showers etc. Clean, tidy, and amazing views. Attentive hosts who were around doing works which is great to see.
Disliked: Showers are a push button which lasts 10 seconds. A bit annoying but a good way to try to save water!

Electric hardstanding and grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (large)
Liked: We loved it all. The views were stunning, and the pitch is in the middle of the most beautiful spot. small, super friendly and clean site. The couple running the site were so lovely with everyone and were great with the kids. They have a box of outdoor sport equipment for the kids (and adults) to entertain themselves with. Loved the honesty shop- restored my faith in humanity. We had an absolutely wonderful few days.

Liked: Bruce and Sandy are amazing hosts, they are very attentive, helpful and friendly. We loved our stay, the view is incredible! The facilities are amazing, they’re kept in great condition and very clean. We took our dog for a walk around the woodland path which was lovely. I loved the extra options of fire pits and smore packs, we will definitely return!
Disliked: Not a dislike, but only thing we noticed was that the shower rooms didn’t have hand soap.
