Liked: A great location for a one night stopover to break the journey on our trip down to Cornwall. Arrived late evening and got a really warm welcome with a pitch thoughtfully provided with easy access to the shower block for my son. Managed to walk down to the pub in Over Stratton from the site via the orchard (a bit wet and soft under foot but perfect in better weather) for a really good meal. A good find.
Disliked: Nothing really. Washroom facilities a bit dated and one shower out of use. All very clean though and classical music piped from the radio!
