Grange Pony Trekking Centre

Beautiful scenery, peaceful campsite and very welcoming and helpful staff. We camped right by the river in a quiet field with sheep and horses (option to have a no horse field too!). Very clean facilities (shower and toilets), and the hosts were so helpful booking us in for a pony trek in the morning. Knowledgeable and friendly stable staff too, thank you to all of you who made our stay so wonderful! Highly recommend.

Views, atmosphere, friendly staff

Connectivity issues - expected with the location

Lovely friendly people, nice spot by the river, good social distancing measures. Even gave us some matches as we forgot some and wouldn’t have had food otherwise!

Beautiful, small and basic campsite with compost toilets on site and flush toilets, sinks, a shower and drinking water a little walk away at house/reception area. Steep field with flat area and stream located at the bottom. Views of fields, mountains and stars. Lots of nice walks in surrounding area.

Not really a dislike but it's worth noting that vehicles can't go onto the camping field (completely understandable given the incline) so all gear must be carried from car park, but it's not too far.

Stunning views and location.

Great pitches with soft, level ground.

Stream adjacent to campsite that provide background noise that provides a bit of separation from other campers.

Beautiful walks in any direction from the campsite.

Lovely staff who just leave you to it.

Zero phone signal.

Minor, petty things like having to climb up the hill with your camping gear. No cars permitted on campsite (which is a nice thing generally).

Narrow lanes can be a little tedious especially when you meet oncoming cars, but that's the small price to pay for the remote tranquility of the site.

Zero phone signal.

The warm, friendly welcome. The site was beautifully located right at the foot of the hills and a stream running through. The horses looked well taken care of and were a lovely addition to a camp site. I loved how natural and unspoilt this was, I was looking for a more wild camp site because I love to be at one with nature, and this was just that. The car park is in close proximity to the camping fields, so not a problem at all that we could not drive into the fields.

We were very happy with everything, I was just disappointed that other guests didn't respect the rules and drove their cars onto the pitch and started fires. Also the one picnic bench was taken up by one family for the duration of their stay with their tents surrounding this so others could not share it. A sign may be beneficial to ensure all guests can enjoy having a picnic on the bench by the stream 😊

Such an amazing location for trekkers. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, giving help with routes for walks and places to visit.

Camping field had minimal flat/ level pitches.

Beautiful remote area with wonderful scenery. Felt like a real adventure wild camp without trespassing. Friendly staff.

Stressful parking facilities. Wasn’t aware before arriving that the drinking water was from the river and had to boil. Also, parking and facilities far from the campsite, which was lovely but a shock if you were not expecting it. Website should explain better so people can prepare and bring less stuff etc.

Beautiful place run by lovely people. The camping pod was clean and cosy with amazing views. The horse trek was fantastic.
