Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Loved the location - easy to get to using public transport since we had no car. Beautiful area - the owner very kindly recommended some walks for us and even gave us detailed instructions on the route, loved it. Pub nearby (gentle and flst 10min walk, not muddy path) serving food. Aso it was not too far from the town with more restaurants and takeaways if needed (buses running roughly every hour from the pub, there's a taxi rank in town and it costs about £5 from the centre). Beautiful and flat field to stay at so we felt like we had our own corner, completely private from other campers, nice and quiet. Toilets very well maintained, cold water not an issue for us and we were prewarned. Great to have the option to rent a fire pit (none for us due to the rain however). Lovely to see horses in the next field. Not too much sheep noise either phew. I could hear the road but it was more like distant gentle white noise rather than sounds of cars so it's not at all an issue. Bird song was our main soundtrack actually. Owner was lovely and super helpful, very easy to contact as well. The site has very good phone signal for those who need it.

Liked: Lovely site with good ground, very spacious, pretty and secluded. Lots of wildlife, great walks from the site and short drives away. Well kept site with clean and plentiful facilities. Nice vibe with fellow campers. Me and my pupper had a great weekend.

Liked: The toilet facilities were amazing and the owners were very helpful. We'd actually made a mistake with our booking and they were really accommodating. They even stepped in to help with our tent when the rain started to get it up quicker!
Disliked: My only small dislike was the noise of the motorway during the night. It didn't make a huge difference overall though.

Liked: Beautiful field and lovely toilet block, the description of 'portaloo' is misleading - there are proper toilets with wash-hand basins in a lovely wooden hut. These are the only facilities but it was all we needed for a one-night stay on our way home from Scotland!
