Gostou We loved everything about it. Francis the owner is delightful who we met not long after arrival. Communication was fabulous instructions on line with our allocated tent spaces and how to find them as well as the facilities. My friend and I chose wild pitches/ 2 tents which was amazing as completely by ourself with no neighbours but a short distance to walk to the ablution block which was a lovely shepherds hut with a few showers and toilets very clean and comfortable.

Gostou Fantastic quiet campsite, really nestled into nature and plenty of space and quiet to relax and enjoy the sounds of nature.

He doesn't feel overcrowded or cramped, and the woodland pitches were fantastic, with a bench and chimnea for each pitch to make use of. Amenities are new but have a fantastic rustic feel, and the showers are just set to the right temperature.

Fantastic campsite, lovely owners, if you get the chance to meet them and would definitely recommend the site. There's no WiFi but the size and space between pitches that should be expected.

Gostou Choice of a woodland pitch, or broad grass space. New loos and showers. Peaceful site. Excellent comms. Beautiful countryside. Great value for money.

Gostou Fabulous site, plots well spaced out, dog field, on site walks, great shower and toilet block. Friendly hosts who have put a lot of effort into making this a near perfect site in our books. Greener camping club site, well deserved. We plan to return.

Não gostou Some road noise - would pick a different plot on the site next time

Do gestor: Hi Andrea,
Thanks so much for your good review. It really makes our work here seem worth while when people enjoy their stays, I'm so happy you liked it. Thanks for visiting.

Gostou .

Não gostou I have thought long and hard about posting this review but have decided to do so for two reasons: firstly I cannot knowingly let someone, or more importantly someone's dog, suffer as I and my dog did here. Secondly, the owners complete lack of response to the issue.

There are some positives about the site. The toilets are showers are lovely and whole site is a wildlife haven (unfortunately too much so...read on).

But what the owner has done as created the perfect environment for midges to lay there eggs. The dense silver birch woods with thick fern undergrowth attracts the female midges (the ones that bitch) in their billions.

It was already quite bad when I arrived at 3pm but by 5pm it was off the scale. I have experienced the worst that the Scottish Highlands have to offer and trekked in the jungles of Sumatra and I have never been as uncomfortable and as miserable as I was over the next 16 hours. I could cover myself with clothing and a mosquito net but it was still awful. My poor dog couldn't and he was bitten relentlessly. By 5:30 we'd retreated to the tent but could get no relief there as they got in through the mesh vents. I tried to cook. I tried to have a fire. It was horrible. I slept (very little) in the mosquito net. I buried the dog under a blanket.

At 7am I opened the tent hoping for an improvement but expecting the worst. It was even worse than I imagined.

I had paid for 5 nights but couldn't stay a second longer so broke down camp, packed the car, had a shower (leaving an expensive towel...which I'm clearly never going to get back) and left. My dogs ears swelled up like balloons because of the hundreds of bites and I had to seek medication care for him.

I emailed the owner telling her I had left and why. Just a simple one liner, not upset or asking for a refund. 5 days later I have had no response. I have noticed another recent review who had pretty much the exact experience as I did and the owner simply gave a glib response about using insect repellent. Well I was covered in the stuff and the attached photo shows the consequences of exposing my arms for no more than 30 minutes in total on her site.

Additionally the site is no where near as peaceful as you might expect or be led to believe. The road with frequent heavy lorries and quarry traffic hurtling down a long straight but bumpy section at 60mph was metres from my pitch.

Finally the owner also contacted me on an email that was not provided to her by PitchUp. It was close (hence I received it), but different. This is a breach of GDPR law and the owner must do better if she doesn't want to get a fine should a data breach like this be reported.

Do gestor: I'm very sorry to hear your stay was spoilt by midges. Seeing the picture of your terrible reaction I understand that you left early. I am also sorry I missed your email letting me know, if I had seen it I certainly would have replied. I hope you and your dog have both recovered. I think the midges were at their worst during your night.
As our site is only a field away from the road, making it handy for all local beaches and attractions, there can occasionally be traffic noise and unfortunately during your stay it was the week the farmers were collecting the silage and passing frequently with tractors and trailers which are louder than usual.
Again, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your stay, but thankyou for your kind mention of our clean shower and toilet facilities.
