Gostou What a brilliant site this is. Hosts were very welcoming and friendly and the facilities are fantastic. The onsite cafe is great. Faultless.

Gostou This is a lovely site either with very friendly staff, we stayed one night after randomly driving past the site a few weeks ago . There was a lot of wildlife which is helped by the wildlife pond and we loved saying hello to the farm animals . The site was clean and had recycling facilities.

Não gostou Lots of queues for the toilets due to their shower/toilet set up and I couldn’t figure out if there was supposed to be hot water at the dish washing station or not . However it was a minor inconvenience as the weather and views were amazing

There is normally hot water in the washing up station, so if you didn't have any when you went.
There isn't normally a queue for the toilets, sorry to hear that was the case for you.

Gostou Amazing hosts George and Alison

Homemade cakes for sale (lemon drizzle was delicious)

Sorry to hear you didn't have hot water when washing up, this is not normally a problem.

Gostou - Play barn was great for the kids.
- Peaceful location
- Cafe on site is a great option
- Staff were always very lovely and polite
- Kids loved the goats!
- Basketball and Swing Ball in the yard was a nice touch

Não gostou - Play barn is not free for on site campers (£2.50 per child per day)
- Site is on a fairly steep hill
- There is only 2 showers for the entire site and there is often a queue.
- There is only 1 toilet available if the on site cafe is closed and the showers are in use (a toilet is also in each shower block).
- The elsan point is an approx 400m walk to the very near the site entrance.
- Very quite area which we found a little quite with not much to do.
- I don't think there was an on site small shop with essentials such as milk, bread etc

The Play Barn is part of our Stay and Play and campers have access for the whole day at a reduced rate. Considering we don't charge for children to attend like many campsites do, we feel this is still a very reasonable cost.
We are in the process of getting more showers, they are currently out of stock but will be addressed asap.
The elsan point is positioned on the entrance / exit to the site to make it easily accessible, we did not want it directly in the campsite for the risk of any smell there or in the cafe.
Most like it being a quiet area to stay, for those wanting to do something there are lots of things to do within a 20 to 30 minute drive.
The cafe does sell milk and other items to campers who want the odd bits.

Gostou The campsite was probably one of the best ones I have stayed at so far. The campground is large, with lots of spots to pick from, not to mention the nice pond in the middle which really adds to the experience. The cafeteria is such a nice addition and the owners are absolutely lovely, very accommodating and friendly. We were camping during the France England World Cup Match so they kept the bar open until the end of the match which was way past the closing time for the campers to come in and watch. The prices were very decent in my opinion and the bathrooms were also some of the best we’ve seen at any campsite. They had a children’s play area and some outdoor toys for them to enjoy too as well as some farm animals that the children could walk up to. Couldn’t recommend it enough and we will definitely be coming back

Não gostou The only thing I would maybe add is an extra shower considering the amount of people that were there on the weekend.

Gostou Very friendly staff, very welcoming
Goats were a unique touch
The lake at the bottom is peaceful
Aerobatic planes fly over
Good quality land to pitch on, spacious
Showers and toilets were clean, not hot but not freezing cold, lukewarm which is fine for the peak of summer only, however a lack of them
Great value for price comparing to other sites

Não gostou Not enough showers or toilets to meet demand - two showers for a large camp site is not enough. Three toilets during working hours (of which two are in the shower) is not enough. Showers need to be warmer.

We are waiting for more showers to arrive to then install them. When the cafe is open (normally 7am to 10pm on busy days / weekends) means that there are 7 toilets available during those times, it is only over the night that we are down to 3 toilets. We wdo have plans to add more.

Gostou Lovely site for families.
Good facilities, great café.
