Peaceful campsite with spacious, neat fields and clean, basic facilities like hot showers. Owner Jim is praised for being friendly and helpful, making guests feel welcome. Great base for exploring, with a pub and shop nearby. Perfect for a quiet, chilled break.

Basic but perfect!
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked A really lovely, spacious campsite. Attractive setting. Jim was really helpful and friendly and went out of his way to check everything was ok. Near enough 15 minute walk to the village pub and shop.
Disliked The shower cubicles were a little basic but worked ok. There are only 2 showers and 2 loos (female) 1 loo (male). If the site was busy, this may be a problem. But it was absolutely fine in September!
