Ik was blij met The site was very quiet and peaceful, and we had a good night’s sleep. The pitches were level, dry, and freshly mowed, which made setting up the tent straightforward. The owner was friendly and polite on the phone, giving clear directions once I called. Friendly pony in the adjoining field. Good short-notice availability when other sites in the area were fully booked.

Ik was niet blij met Arrival & Access: While the owner gave clear directions over the phone to guide me past the first gate, past the pony, and to the field, the arrival instructions were not in the booking email. The padlock code for the inner gate was omitted, so if I had not managed to get through on mobile, I would have been locked out. Additionally, despite Pitchup stating that "all guests spending the night at the park must present their ID at the reception desk and sign registration forms," there was no reception desk or staff on site. Parking & Access Track: The track down to the field is rough and uneven; I had to drive very carefully to avoid scraping the underside of my car. It was fine in dry conditions, but in wet weather it would be treacherous and strictly 4x4 territory. There was also no signposted or designated parking area, nor were there wheelbarrows or carts provided to move gear, so I parked directly on the grass next to the pitch. No Running Water: I am a regular wild camper and have stayed at numerous eco-campsites, so I am very used to off-grid, low-impact setups. However, this was very poorly managed. The listing prominently advertises showers, a campers' kitchen, and a washing-up area, so I completely missed the small "no running water" tag buried in the utilities list. There is no plumbed mains or gravity-fed water system whatsoever. We were left a single jerry can to share, which had to be tipped manually over a basin to wash hands or fill bottles. To make matters worse, the water had a plastic taste from the container. Had the lack of running water been clear upfront, I would not have booked. Toilets & Washing Up: The toilet setup is exceptionally rudimentary rather than a proper eco-compost facility — a domestic toilet seat fixed onto an old armchair over a plastic storage tub lined with a refuse sack (sawdust and loo roll were provided). The cubicle is so cramped that you cannot close the door fully while sitting down. Washing-up water drains straight out of a pipe into an open bucket on the floor. I also saw no sign of the shower mentioned on Pitchup as nobody was on site to point out where amenities were located. Site Cleanliness & Maintenance: The wheelie bins by the entrance were overflowing with black bags and infested with maggots. There was dog mess left across the field, and random piles of furniture and scrap building materials were left around the site. It served its purpose for a single quiet night when everywhere else was booked, but the listing description suggests a far better-established and managed site than reality. Would not stay again.

Ik was blij met Shop and cafe, great views.

Ik was niet blij met No quiet time after 10/11 like other sites I've been to and had to have a word with nearby campers that were up until 1am. Sinks very low down and not good for your back. Men's toilets very cramped and awkward. No recycling just an open skip
