A aimé We loved the peace and quiet. Listening to birdsong during the day and seeing red kites overhead was wonderful. At dusk we were visited by bats and by night the stars were spectacular. We were even treated to a shooting star show. The other campers were really friendly and there was a great atmosphere on site all weekend. It's fantastic that the site owners limit the number of guests to avoid it becoming overcrowded.

Whilst there is only one shower it's spacious and was clean and tidy during our stay.

The washing up area was adequate and had hot water available, which was an added bonus.

There's so much to do locally too. We visited Stokesay Castle, Ludlow, Tenbury Wells and Croft Castle. We had dinner at The Rose and Crown at Burford and breakfast at Mr Thom's in Tenbury Wells, both of which we can recommend.

This site gives excellent value for money.

N'a pas aimé The recycling area was already full to capacity on arrival. We took ours home with us so be prepared for this.

Despite clear signage, other campers used the hot water taps in the toilet and washing up area whilst the shower was in use, which either made the shower go cold or turn off completely.

We are usually staunch supporters of composting toilets. However, we couldn't get on with this one. The separator is supposed to keep yellow waste going into the brown section. However, the yellow section was frequently blocked with sawdust and the brown section was very brown around the rim, which wasn't particularly pleasant. Maybe it's a female anatomy issue but there doesn't seem to be an adequate margin of error to keep the two types of waste separate. There was no sawdust left by the early hours of Sunday morning.

Réponse du gestionnaire : We are so pleased you enjoyed the peace and quiet, birdsong. shooting stars and dark sky's, bats and the friendly relaxed atmosphere of out tiny place (just 7 pitches in a 1 acre field)
I'm afraid that although we do our very best to deal with recycling and land fill waste, this is collected alternatively once a week, so if a lot has been deposited already by previous guests then it can be full, we alleviate this by removing and replacing with empty bins, and by providing bin bags for our guests so that they can recyce as much as possible and leave next to the bins for us to deal with. With regards to the loo, we clean it daily - more when the site is busy, however is someone is using it and putting shavings into the diverter we cannot be on site 24 hours a day as we are a working farm and this is a small farm diversification project which allows us to share this stunning part of the world with our guests We rely on our guests to make us aware of the problem, so we can then sort it out

A aimé The field had lovely surrounding views and was so peaceful. The stars at night was amazing to see and the bird songs in the morning was wonderful to hear.
Shower was lovely and clean and for a camp shower nice and spacious. It's really nice that not too many tents are booked in too so the field felt very spacious and open. I felt comfortable letting my daughter run around and play too.

N'a pas aimé My only negative really was the toilet. The design of the composting toilet wasn't the best which meant it kept getting dirty and everyone was getting sawdust where sawdust wasn't meant to go so the front bit would get blocked. It got to the point I was dreading going to the toilet.

Réponse du gestionnaire : It is fantastic that you enjoyed the views, the peace and quiet and the night sky's along with the birdsong, found the shower clean and spacious along with being about to let your daughter run and play, feeling safe in our open field.
We are so sorry the composting toilet was not to your liking, it is cleaned daily along with every where else and more when the site is busy (that's 7 pitches for us as we are a tiny site)
if there was someone on site who did not understand how to to use the toilet properly, and was blocking the toilet then I apologise, the facilities are only as clean as the last person to use them, as we cannot monitor 24 hours a day and rely on our guests to notify us if there is a problem around the cleaning schedule. A full bucket of shavings is usually more than plenty for 24 hours and possibly the reason they ran out is because they were not being used properly. The composting toilet will not smell if used correctly and we have signs and information on how to use it.

A aimé I originally booked 4 nights here with my son Joshua but stayed a lot longer because we Loved this camp site so much, very very quiet and peaceful, It's on a working farm which we don't mind because we Love animals, Emma and Ian are a great couple very friendly and work very very hard to keep things under control and working well, The toilet and shower room were always kept clean and tidy, We will definitely visit this campsite again in the future, The price is very good as well, PS The Lamb was excellent thank you very much for that, Yours sincerely Ian & Josh , 👍👍👍👍

N'a pas aimé I have NO dislikes to say.
