The Travelling Mule

Gostou Friendly staff, quiet pleasant location. Great price.

Não gostou Lots of rubble under the surface, made it hard to put tent pegs to any great depth. A dog occasionally roamed around the site and was not picked up after.

Gostou Quiet site, easy to locate. Good beers!

Não gostou When we paid we were informed that the toilets would be left open all night. Unfortunately when we tried them at 8am they were locked. If you arrive on a Sunday food finishes at 6pm.

Do gestor: Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the location, the pub, and the friendly atmosphere. It’s great to hear you found our team helpful and the locals welcoming. Yes, there’s a bit of renovation going on, but we appreciate your understanding and we’re excited for you (and future guests) to see the improvements once they’re complete.

Gostou The food in the pub (especially the beetroot burger)

Não gostou All the nearby public footpaths seem to be blocked off, so hard to go for a short walk from the campsite.

Gostou Nothing

Não gostou The grass non electric area for our campervan was a waste land of soil as we were told new septic tanks had been fitted. We were offered the small pub car park or a small area of hard standing between two touring/permanent caravans. The whole place was full junk and machinery and we just didn't like the vibe, so drove and found a lovely cheaper site 20mins away. The photos on pitch up are nothing like the experience. Just glad we had time to move on. Obviously we lost our deposit! Phone and check ahead if the grass area has grown and can be used !!

Do gestor: We feel it’s important to clarify the circumstances for others reading this review. The photos on Pitchup were taken before urgent emergency works had to take place, which unfortunately meant a portion of the grass non-electric area became unavailable. These works, including septic tank upgrades - are essential for the long-term improvement of the site.

When this guest arrived, we explained the situation immediately and offered two alternative pitches, both of which other visitors have been happy to use. Unfortunately, from the moment they arrived, they turned their nose up and chose not to give the site a chance.

Yes, there was machinery on site, but only because the works were in progress and could not be delayed, something that does not impact the safety or enjoyment of the majority of our guests. Many visitors during the same period have enjoyed their stay and appreciated the improvements being made. We always encourage guests with specific requirements to call ahead so we can ensure the best possible experience.

Gostou Cheap, welcoming pub, basic but does the job. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Não gostou The pitching area isnt as per the photos, full of bits so dont expect much space.

Do gestor: We’re glad you enjoyed our welcoming pub and friendly staff. The pitching area is currently smaller than in the photos because urgent improvement works had to be carried out- something outside our control but necessary for the site’s long-term benefit.

When space is reduced, we always offer alternative pitches, and many guests are happy to stay. While you’ve said you wouldn’t return, we’re confident most visitors appreciate both the hospitality and the upgrades being made, and the pitching area will soon be restored to its full size as shown in our photos.

Gostou When we first arrived the site it's self looked a little dishevelled as it's obvious they are having some works done but the greeting from the landlord completely over took those images.

He gave us an option of 3 different places to park and we parked up in the corner on the carpark.

We had booked in for our evening meal and from the time entering the pub till leaving we were greeted as old friends from the landlord, the staff and the regulars even made friends with a lovely young family and have booked in to return and meet up again.

Saturday evening was rammed and you had to have patience with the food coming as they had two big groups in but again the atmosphere was fabulous.

As for sleep it was quiet, undisturbed and peaceful.

Can't recommend enough, it's not perfect but the landlord and his team were and made our stay perfect thank you so much and see you soon.
