Gostou: Fantastic campsite, easy no nonsense system to find a pitch. Facilities well looked after and clean. There is an honesty shop, we just bacs transferred what we purchased. Nice and quiet being an adults only site. No electric points, but we are self sufficient so not a problem. A nice Pub just a short walk away. Great for a relaxing break away 👍

Não gostou: Nothing, other than the price, like a lot of sites in this area, the price has hiked way too much in the last couple of year's. Tolerable for one night, but puts you off staying any longer.

Do gestor: Dear Colin - Thank you for your kind review - I am very grateful to you. Bless you. You are always welcome to return. Whilst you haven't reduced your overall score due to your thoughts on the price, and I do appreciate this, I feel I must comment on this as it is not the first time that it has been commented on. Firstly, I do keep a check on prices in the local area and yes, some are cheaper than mine; but these sites don't offer all that I offer and they are often family sites. Most of us are around the £30 per night mark. Family sites means that there is always a guaranteed level of campers staying on site whilst adult only sites reduces this guarantee considerably and therefore often my site can consist of a handful of campers. But campers come here because they like the quietness of the site and I plan to keep it like this. Just because on occasions I only have a few campers here, I don't suddenly reduce the facilities or the cleaning to reflect this; there will still be access to everything and showers can be taken throughout the day and night - the system runs constantly, like all the gadgets in the kitchen, including the fridges. I believe that some people may look around and think All this money just to stay in a field! But there are many 'background' costs that you don't see. There is the insurance and memberships, websites and booking systems, commission taken from each booking (I don't see that £30!!) there are bank charges, bookkeeper and accountant and staff costs, the daily running costs, the electricity of the social area and running of the shower unit and hot water ALL day/night long. There are cleaning costs. I have to maintain the site to ensure that the buildings are in good order and there are costs in maintaining the grounds. I recently had the pergola built to keep my campers dry in the rain and then sides put onto this (in total, this has cost me close to £10,000),and I am always looking at ways to invest for ongoing improvements and new projects to enhance campers experience. I had the showers re-done last year, (£16,000) When my accountant sends back my figures every year I always query where have I spent all that money! And I do spend hours going through the income and outgoings, and I can always see what it has been spent and vow to cut back another year; but I don't because I want to keep up the standards and facilities here. But times are hard for us all and general living costs have risen as we all know. Even going out for a coffee and sandwich can cost around £7-10 so I think perhaps £15 per head per night to stay in a lovely quiet location is perhaps in line with daily living costs. I am not sure where else you would stay for that amount of money - not even a youth hostel! Like all other campsites, I cannot guarantee a regular income. I am shut for 6 months of the year; if the weather is bad - like it was this year - income drops - if it is hot - income can also drop as camping is weather dependent so income is never guaranteed but I continue to guarantee the high level of services offered here. The prices will not be increasing again next year and discounts are in place if you plan to stay 7+ nights. Thank you again for your review. I really appreciate this. T.

Gostou: The place is very clean, quiet, and also has a nice comunal kitchen where you can boil water, hav toast, and a little shop. The owner is very friendly and attentive.

Do gestor: Thank you so much for your kind review. Most campers appreciate the kitchen area! And there can be social banter and gatherings there too. Tx

Gostou: Well kept site. Friendly and attentive owners without being intrusive. Level grass pitches which are well marked out. Fire pit is a bonus. High standard of decor and cleanliness in the showers and toilets. Lots of hot water. Love the honesty shop and the kitchen amenities. Use of the fridge to keep our cider cool was great. Hope to see you again soon.
