Liked: The friendliness of the owners and their enthusiasm for giving visitors an authentic flavour of life in the area. The rustic charm of the site, which had all the facilities we needed. Our pitch was level and accessible, with electric and water provided. We used the family showers and the campers’ kitchen area. The ‘Cottage’ with its roaring open fire was lovely.
