Mi è piaciuto The location was beautiful, very tranquil and peaceful. We didn't hear one firework which was great and the sound of birdsong and owls was lovely. The hosts were lovely, very friendly and easy to talk to. They have a cute dog who befriended mine and came back to the cabin with us a few times which was nice. Whilst the location is set back out of the way and very quiet, there are plenty of things to do within a short drive so it's the best of both worlds. There are lots of places to walk dogs from the farm, without needing to venture further. The wood burning stove in the cabin is lovely and I was provided with ample logs to keep me going, although the fire still had the ash in from the previous user. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding was clean and fresh and made up ready when I arrived. Be aware that the bed is really high and at 5.2 I struggled to get in and out. I had to kneel on a stool to get onto it. There were also a good amount of clean towels provided. The dimmer switch for the spotlights (switch under the table) is a good idea so you can lower them during the evening. There is a separate hut with a composting toilet, a good supply of toilet paper and a clean, modern corner shower unit. Next to this there are two sinks for washing up, which had a washing up bowl, plugs and some washing up liquid and hot water which was great.

Non mi è piaciuto Whilst the cabin is adequate and has most things you might need, it is in need of some attention and TLC. The door to the cabin has dropped, leaving a gap above the door. This could be the reason that it's incredibly difficult to lock the door from the inside. The latch doesn't slide into place which means the door can be opened from the outside and I couldn't lock it at night. The light switch for the spotlights is by the table, which is out of reach from the bed. There is a small battery camping lantern available for bedtime when the lights are off but there is nowhere to actually put it. There is a nail in the wood above the bed which I was going to hang it on, but there is writing on the wood saying not to hang the lantern there. Somewhere to hang it would be good. In the shower/toilet hut, the chipboard floor immediately in front of the toilet feels like it is starting to give way under foot. The biggest issue was that I had some issues with insects unfortunately, with a number of flies and a couple of wasps appearing from nowhere on the first afternoon. Later that evening I discovered where they were coming from when I lowered a blind in the window and disturbed some more, which then took to the air in the cabin. I spent ages trying to swot them all. Unfortunately the following afternoon I returned to find more and further investigation led to me discovering they were underneath the blinds, against the wooden window frame and were quite significant in number. Further swotting took place, but unfortunately I was a bit freaked out by then and decided to head home later that afternoon rather than spend a second night.

Mi è piaciuto This campsite is local to me and well located. The second field allows you to have some off lead time for dogs which was great for mine as he loves being off lead and chasing his frisbee. Nice views and easy to find. Friendly staff. Decent amount of water taps dotted about the site. A good amount of composting toilets which were clean and not smelly.

Non mi è piaciuto The grass was quite long across the site. The hounds from a local hunt kennels woke us up very early with lots of barking and howling which was really annoying as it really disturbed my dog. The doors on the toilets in field two were a bit tricky; firstly myself and other camper couldn't get them open, and once open, they wouldn't lock or stay closed! Unfortunately I think I got off to a bad start on this site as when I arrived I paid and was told I could pitch anywhere. I didn't want to be too isolated as I am a lone female and wanted to be near the wooded area so I could hang my camping shower from a branch so I decided on a space between two caravans which was plenty big enough for my tent leaving plenty of space on either side. I was then approached by a man from one of the caravans who told me I shouldn't pitch there as the man in the other caravans would want to park his car there. I was a bit puzzled as there was plenty of space in front of the caravans for car parking. I told him that I had been told I could pitch my tent there and he then said it was "campsite politics". I decided to move my tent as I didn't feel comfortable there but in reality I think it had soured my opinion of the site. I ended up leaving a day early as I just didn't feel comfortable after that.
