Electric grass campervan or tent pitch
Liked Lovely location and the layout of the pitches is great. The pitches and paths between them are mown into longer grass which is something I would love to see in more smaller sites. The hosts were really helpful and welcoming but the stars of the show were, of course, the animals, particularly the goats and a very friendly cat! My son could have happily spent the entire weekend feeding the goats if we didn't have anything else planned. There is a decent sized playground directly opposite the entrance to the site and the local pub is a 2-3 minute walk away. The food there was very nice.
Disliked I know it has been mentioned in other reviews but the only complaint we had with the site was with the toilets. Were it not for them I would be leaving a 10/10 review. The inside locks definitely need replacing and it would be nice to have more substantial lights in them for when it's dark. We were aware ahead of our stay that they were compost toilets and had no issue with that beforehand. In theory they're great. In practice it only takes one person to miss the instructions (which were only printed in one of the two toilets) for it to become pretty unpleasant. There's a urine diverter just below the front of the seat that separates liquids from solids but when this inevitable got filled almost to the top with toilet paper and sawdust it made it very uncomfortable, particularly as a man with things hanging in that direction, to sit down. Also if you have any mobility issues at all I can't say that they would be easy to use. Obviously I can only speak from our experience with them and if used properly by everyone (I've included photo of the instructions) I'm sure they're fine. One positive I have to add is that I really didn't notice a smell from them.

From the manager: Hi Oliver, thank you so much for such a lovely review and we're delighted you enjoyed your stay with us. You're l right the eco loos have a personality all if their own and that's documented in the site description in Pitch up.. You're absolutely right about the lack of smell and that's because of the urine diverter that you've mentioned.😀 We try our very best to keep the toilets clean and they are checked at least twice a day by us...really hard to stop what others do in between those checks😕 We also provide cleaning facilities within the loos so campers can share the load...🤞🤞🤞 Thank you for pointing out the missing instructions from one of the loos, these have now been replaced. We have rechargeable motion activated lights in both loos, I'm guessing one of them must have run out of steam whilst you were there..new ones fitted after your review, thank you for that. Hopefully the eco credentials are appreciated and that offsets some of the quirkiness 😁 Fantastic that your son loved the goats and Tismo the cat as much as we do and we'd love to see you again one day We're always looking to improve things and your feed back is much appreciated. Best wishes, Mark and Chantal

Electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely peaceful site in a great location
with recently updated facilities that were well put together and well looked after. Everything you need and the owners (and their animals!) are amazing. Highly recommend. No WiFi but not an issue (can't remove WiFi star rating for some reason).

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely peaceful site. We met the owner Henry who was great. Toilets were clean and the site was well maintained. The only downside for us (but possibly not others) was that most of the tent pitches were on a slight incline.
