Me gustó: We were the only people staying on the site and the weather was lovely. The pitch by the pond was beautiful.

No me gustó: The facilities were very disappointing. Although there were toilets at the homestead end of the site they were very far from the best camping spot.
The “portaloos ” at the bottom by the nice pond were in a very poor state. One had two portapotties inside which weren’t very clean. The second was in a disgusting state which we had been warned about. There was no water available at the pond site only at the main facilities again a long walk.
We feel these points spoil what could be a very nice.

Del administrador: I somehow knew that Christine would not be giving a good review but sadly, yet again, with people who give me a bad
review, she had clearly not read the comprehensive email and attachments that I sent out beforehand. How can anyone say the facilities were disappointing when 9.9 campers say they are the best they have seen on a campsite. Does anyone else have a fully fitted kitchen with hot and cold running water, a fridge/freezer, washing machine, microwave, gas cooker, kettle and toaster all for use by everyone? Answers on a postcard. Thanks Christine, I am not sad to see that you won't be coming again.

Me gustó: Truly breathtaking surroundings, surrounded by nature. Both mornings we stayed, we were greeted by birdsong and sheep amidst the mist over the field - quite a beautiful sight to behold! We met pigs, chickens, plenty of sheep, the guard geese and Rupert the golden retriever. Walks around the lake followed by a lakeside beer as the sun is setting is unbeatable. A pub serving food is a 15 minute walk away, next door to a village shop selling local produce. The communal facilities were clean and even included an oven and a toaster. Make sure you pick up one of Carol’s homemade jams too!

Me gustó: Het onthaal. Wat een lieve gastvrouw.

No me gustó: Pitch in een schapenweide en dus met de nodige keutels.
Aangevallen en gebeten door twee loslopende ganzen. Deze horen echt wel opgesloten te zijn als er gaste´ logere´

Me gustó: This is a really lovely and peaceful site. We pitched our van by the beautiful lake but there is also plenty of space in the main field or adjacent to the woods. There is a well equipped kitchen, 2x principal toilet/shower room - a few hundred yards walk from the lake but through fields with views ( some people drove up).
Carol who runs the site is lovely and very welcoming.
Definitely recommend and will stay again.

Me gustó: Peace and tranquility by the lake, dragonflies, moorhens and ducklings

No me gustó: The geese

Me gustó: The environment

No me gustó: The geese were aggressive and bit my wife. The facilities, whilst clean, were very basic. Signage to the site itself is extremely poor.

Del administrador: Well, there is no pleasing some people is there?? Everybody was told about everything in an email before they
arrived and there are portaloos near the lake. 9.9 people out of 10 have said the facilities are outstanding so I really don't know what else I can do other than go and hide under a stone. Shame they have spelt my name wrong!!!!

Me gustó: Carol is a fantastic host and made me really comfortable. She adjusted the pitch plans to suit my van and me. The campsite is a delight with loads of farm animals and fields leading down to a lake and a sense of wild camping, Firepits made for a great camping feel. Not crowded as the fields are huge.

No me gustó: There's nothing to dislike the place is a delight as is Carol.

Me gustó: Nice location by the lake which was good for groups

No me gustó: Very wild camping. Easy to miss this campsite as there is no clear signs on the road. Facilities in the bottom field are not what we expected, there is no access to water, washing up facilities and only 2 portaloos in the bottom field. The main toilet block and water which is advertised is two fields away. The Track from the entrance to the bottom field can get very slippy and muddy which makes access tricky in wet weather.

Del administrador: I have now had three bad reviews from this past weekend and it is obvious that these are tainted by the bad weather on Saturday and Sunday morning. I cannot see how I can be held to blame for this and most of these campers actually booked at the last minute, clearly because the weather, this year, has been so unpredictable. It really doesn't help when I spoke with everyone on Sunday morning and asked them if they could stay a bit longer to let the ground dry out and some completely ignored that. Somewhat of a misrepresentation to say this is Wild Camping. It most certainly is not.

Me gustó: Carole was lovely and very present should there be any issues. The morning view of the pond and the afternoon dragonflies were wonderful.

No me gustó: It is quite a walk from the camping field to the toilet block - particularly if it is raining - really feel the site needs some more support closer to the camping section for famililies - that being said, most people seemed to be in campers which the site is absolutely perfect for.

Del administrador: Everyone is told on arrival that they can camp wherever they like, however a choice is made by them to be near the lake. I should nit be given a bad review because of their personal choices.
