Liked: Very helpful, lovely couple who had good local knowledge. It’s a good base for any big hikes.

The Ledge non-electric grass and gravel tent or campervan pitch (premium)
Liked: This is a really unspoilt campsite. Huge areas of grass with small hardstanding for car or camper van. Host extremely accommodating and took his time to help us plan some walking. Weather curtailed our adventures so will have to come back again. Shower and toilet in block near the house. Basic but clean and functional. We felt like our site was extremely private and the view across the field to the beautiful oak tree asn small stream, little church with mountains beyond was blissful. Good base for black mountain and lovely country park just down the road- also easy to reach on foot.
Disliked: Not a dislike as such but would have been good to have area to wash dishes- did ours in the river.

From the manager: Oops sorry if forgot to tell you but cold water wash sink just up from The Ledge by The View pitch
Perfect location,friendly proprietors,a little on the expensive side.

The Ledge non-electric grass and gravel tent or campervan pitch (premium)
Liked: The site is a rural site, tranquil and with beautiful views. Excellent hikes directly from the campsite and a pub just down the road. The shower is hot and clean. The owners are friendliness most helpful.
Disliked: We were alone on the site, so the one and shower was not a problem. In the height of season one shower could however be a problem. This is not a particularly cheap site, and admittedly in an area of outstanding beauty. I do wonder however if the price is really justified concerning the facilities available.

Church Field non-electric grass and earth tent or campervan pitch (maximum 6 metres)
Liked: The views
Disliked: It’s advertised for camper vans but I would not recommend staying here if you are in a camper van. The pitch is just a field which would normally be ideal but the land the owner put us on very wet! It also had long grass and the water sat on the fields. The owner met us and said if it’s wet you’ll struggle to get off and I’ll have to tow you out!! He also said he didn’t want to be doing that in the morning so pitch next to road. We did pitch next to road but we still got stuck!! After much slipping and sliding and ripping up the field and covering our van in mud we managed to get out.

The Ledge non-electric grass and gravel tent or campervan pitch (premium)
Liked: Magnificent views and deep countryside. great walks nearby. I liked the repurposed barrel fire pit. The compost toilet was brilliant. I stayed on The Ledge pitch, which had plenty of space and a marvellous view.
Disliked: It would be good to have a couple of the premium pitches with electrical hookup for longer stays at this price. I only stayed one night though, so it was fine.

The Pond non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (premium, secluded)
Liked: The location, the spectacular views (day and night), the facilities and the lovely owners. We had a wonderful time camping on the pond pitch within the trees, thank you J&C for having us :) Also, the bus stop at the campsite entrance was very useful!
Disliked: Not a dislike but maybe useful - we misjudged some of our planned walking trails from the site, they took us much longer than planned due to the uphills and involved more walking on the road than expected. Make use of the bus.
