Bell tent
Liked: Before we arrived the owners sent instructions to get to the campsite, good clean bell tent, hot showers and drinking water, places to charge devices and campsite rules in a communal area. A fire bin outside to have your own fire and a picnic bench so you have somewhere to sit. Our first family camping trip as a family of 2 adults a 6 year old and 1 year old. Very hot weekend but such a brilliant experience and the children loved watching the chickens roam around! Very happy with our experience and would definitely recommend and will be back!

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Views from the car park were amazing, not so great from where the tent was but the site itself was clean and had everything we needed for one nights stay.
Disliked: Freezing cold showers, which weren’t bad on such a hot day but if you’re not lucky with the weather it wouldn’t be great. We were also the only people staying which was a bit odd for august, it’s right next to the A38 but the traffic noise didn’t bother us that much

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: What isn’t there to like! One of the cleanest sites I’ve ever stayed at, the owners are very welcoming and clearly have a passion for this! The owner took our children around to collect eggs and look at the bee hives. Location is perfect for venturing out to the main attractions. Local shops within a few minutes drive. With a few pitches it keeps the site very enjoyable, no cramped camping, no loud pitches etc
Disliked: Not being able to have enough annual leave to stay longer
