Liked This is a long one for good reason- but i will start with: I felt genuinely sad to leave- I visited once previously a few years ago for my first ever camping experience and now I cant wait to come back, I hope to get a good few visits in next season! We have made core memories! New Inn has a feeling of home, definitely the best place I have stayed! I stayed with my 9 year old son and 2 dogs (4th time ever camping, 2nd time doing it on my own with my son and the dogs). Immediately on arrival, we were made to feel welcome. Rach (one of the regular guests) helped with the dogs while I booked in etc. Lee and Michalea are the owners- the site itself is clean and tidy, well maintained toilets and showers (which are free and actually warm!). Nothing seems to be too much trouble. The bar is lovely- good variety, reasonable prices etc (pepsi max etc from the tap is just £1!!!). Cash and card payment accepted. There are so many little extra touches, for example the numerous charger cables free to use which are situated right near the toilets/showers/bar and seem to charge ridiculously fast! Lee actually buys small gas bottles for customers to use if needed. The animals- chickens (plenty), pigs and sheep! The sheep arent being fed by visitors etc at present, but me and my son were welcomed to join with feeding of the chickens and pigs- and we bought some freshly laid eggs to take home which are SO nice!!! You can feel the passion from Lee and Michaela when you meet them- this isnt just a money maker, its a genuine love for what they do. Lee is a really interesting guy who will talk about anything and everything and has some interesting stories to tell! We stayed on the dog friendly field which is just across the car park- there were 5 HUGE pitches on there, we stayed at the back corner pitch where there's a little bench. Everyone nearby was lovely- we've made friends in hope to stay in touch with. Rach (previously mentioned regular guest) had a birthday on the day we left, we spent the afternoon sharing birthday cake and chatting with plenty of visitors and I can honestly say it just felt so comfortable. There's plenty of space to walk around even just on site, we walked with our new friends to the local children's play park- there is a waterfall etc reasonably nearby (approx 20 min drive) but we didn't get chance to really go off site because we didn't feel the need! THERE IS NO WIFI! Unfortunately, I made the mistake of letting my son bring his ipad, however when we return it will be a matter of enjoying what's around around us rather than being distracted by the usual rubbish on the iPad! It is so refreshing to not be attached to your phone and socialising with new people making memories! There was actually good signal on my phone all of the time- i never once had no signal when checking my phone so that's reassuring for people to know too! There are a fair few certificates/awards the camp site has won on display in the bar- SO well deserved! Also available from the bar- coffee from a proper coffee machine, amenities such as pasta packets etc if youre caught short, snacks etc. I can not really think of anything missing from this place! CAN NOT WAIT TO COME BACK! ROLL ON REOPENING IN 2027!

Disliked The great British summer weather- totally out of anyone's hands! Unfortunately, and quite rightly so, Lee is currently unable to have his much anticipated bonfires, which is something I shall look forward to when we return- there's a lovely set up with large log stools to sit on all around the campfire fire area and on Saturday nights there's Marshmallow toasting to join in with!
