Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Very peaceful, minimalist camping and fires allowed so I used my wood burning stove l. I knew it was basic with water and composting toilet but that was fine.
Disliked: Although campfires are allowed I wasn’t sure what to do with my charcoal/ ash. I took all my rubbish home but it there was some bins or directions as to where you could dispose of rubbish that would make it better.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Country atmosphere
Disliked: Unmoved small area at top of the hill of a paddock was dry but the rest was a sodden peat - we were crowded in with only 4 tents. There was only a fabric toilet with sawdust to cover waste. Other than 1 tap there is no other amenity. We did not see the host and signage to the site did not exist.

From the manager: Firstly, thank you for your choosing to stay on our site. I'm sorry it was not what you expected, but we very much aim as a semi wild camping site with basic amenities, we do not hide this fact and promote our site on this basis and have had many positive reviews as such. We feel the area is more than adequate for for the very limited numbers we make available, the entire field is free draining sand/gravel soil type and vehicles can drive in here almost any day of the year (not just summer) without trouble, there is absolutely no peat soil in the site. Granted the toilet facilities are only in a pop up style tent and this is in part due to planning limitations and we look to improve these as our site develops. The toilet compost system works because of the dry sawdust. Our contract details are provided when bookings are made and as for not being on site, we feel adds to the semi wild experience of our site. Once again, apologies we did not meet your expectations however none of the issues you raised in your feedback are not clear before a booking is made.
Great little spot. Really enjoyed the stay. I am now best friends…
