Liked: Great remote place with lots of trees and birds. Pitches are far from each other, so you don't have to see others if you don't want to.
Disliked: Take you wellies, if it rains it's muddy.

Liked: Beautiful scenery, very relaxing good vibes. Great facilities (kitchen area, warm showers and compostable toilet). The owners are lovely and very welcoming. Close enough to the town if you want to explore it but when you’re at the campsite it feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere, so peaceful.

Liked: Rainbow Retreat was a real find, a new woodland campsite which is still being created and transformed. For me, it was wonderful to experience it in its infancy and I really look forward to revisiting next year to see how it takes shape. Luke was a wonderful host, friendly, thoughtful and helpful. I love the individual pitches nestled into the woodland which offer plenty of space. Perfect to relax and unwind and just take in the beautiful surroundings and abundance of nature. I didnt feel the need to leave the site during my two night stay. I was quite content absorbing my surroundings, relaxing with a book, taking a walk, enjoying preparing drinks and meals, keeping my camp organised and sitting by a camp fire for the evening. The facilities are excellent and all eco friendly; compost toilets, hot showers, and a lovely communal kitchen shelter that is very well equipped.
Disliked: Nothing!
