Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Ease of access, great view and clean facilities. Exactly as advertised. Kids had a great time and the view from the fire pit is quite special, especially first thing.
Disliked: Signage is only visible from one direction. We missed it, as came from the other way.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much for the kind review, we are so pleased that you had a good time and enjoyed the site. We are working on better signage and have added flags, the what3words does give the exact location to the field gate :)
