Tyckte om Amazing outdoor kitchen with lots of utensils and even coffee cups! We’d brought everything we needed but couldn’t have travelled even lighter :-) Perfect location for us to break up a long journey.

Tyckte inte om Only one compost loo for everyone which was a bit smelly unfortunately.

Tyckte om loved being in the orchard which was well laid out, liked the screening of the bell tents from the rest of the field. liked cars parked in separate field. Yes there were planes which were abit alarming as they flew low at 6 a.m. but didn't really disrupt my enjoyment much

Tyckte inte om Felt the site was a bit uncared for and unkempt. Lots of litter around and overflowing rubbish bins. Only 1 wheel barrow which went missing when I wanted to use it. Fortunately other campers helped me move my belongs.

Tyckte om The kitchen facilities were fantastic. We wanted for nothing and found we didn’t use our own stuff. We enjoyed the communal fire pit and the gazebo with comfy chairs for lovely evening meals under cover. The loos were really clean. Tennis was fab! Very quiet and dog friendly. A great site and would stay again

Tyckte inte om The locks on the loos are way too high up. The children couldn’t reach to open the door or close them so even the ten year old couldn’t go to the loo independently. Could be easily solved to make easier for children.

Tyckte om That the cars weren’t parked next to the tents and that fires were permitted.

Tyckte inte om The access to the site and parking is very tight and you can only access the field when approaching it with it on the right. The main thing I didn’t like is that the long-drop toilets hadn’t been emptied (for what looked like many months) and the pile was within 10cm of the toilet seat. I’m a fan of long-drops usually but they do need to be maintained it’s not acceptable to let it pile so high without emptying it. The smell was also foul! Please also label whether water is drinkable or not as it wasn’t clear where we could fill up bottles. The final issue is that it’s right on the airport flight path and the planes come down very low and loud as they leave/land - not quite conducive with a peaceful holiday.

Tyckte om Lovely campsite with great size pitches and brilliant extras, like a lovely shower and outside kitchen! USB chargers were super helpful.

Tyckte inte om The toilets did get a bit smelly over the weekend, but just needed a top up of fragrance powder.

Tyckte om This is a lovely, peaceful, car-free site with well-mown pitches and amazing facilities. The compost toilets (Frida and Albert, love the artwork!) and the outdoor shower are spotlessly clean and functional. There is a great communal kitchen with big sink, solar-powered lights, USB chargers and fridge, plus a mighty gas hob with big enough kettle and mugs to make tea for a whole tribe!

Tyckte inte om Nothing really, though the very narrow lanes leading to the site might deter some who are unused to driving in the countryside, or not good at reversing! You can hear A30 traffic, but only as a gentle hum in the background. Low-flying planes from Exeter airport were a surprise at first, but it isn’t Heathrow and there aren’t many of them! Also there are only two toilets and one shower, which might be an issue when the site is busy.
