Bell tent
Liked: Everything was great, we really enjoyed our stay - we were staying in the bell tents for a night over the bank holiday weekend. Very chilled campsite, lovely views - really liked the 'tuck shop' area where we could spend some pennies on things we hadn't thought of! The sheep and goats nearby were lovely to sit and watch (especially Gary the baby goat). The host was awesome, thank you for being so welcoming! Will definitely be back.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: A wonderfully quiet, friendly and very clean campsite nestled next to the river in a beautiful rural location.
With an easy going rustic feel, offering more than adequate very clean facilities. Kettle, microwave and the opportunity to purchase eggs, bread and other essentials is a great option if needed.
A lever single pitch with the ability to park my motorcycle directly alongside my tent was ideal.
Disliked: Nothing, absolutely perfect.

Liked: The site is beautiful in a very quiet and lovely views next to the river Wye. The toilets were clean and the shower was hot if a tad small the whole site was well presented. Adam was very helpful and even went the chippy for fish & chips on Good Friday for us. Will be returning.
