Okay for short stay but no guarantee of peace or quiet

Aug 2026

Liked It's a short stay pitch, useful for a night or two max. The drinking water on site is the most useful thing.

Disliked The pitch is small, very small and the field is bowl shape, camping only suitable around the edges. There is a hedge on three sides but the side near the road is open, which makes it quite noisy to traffic. And it has a sloping entrance which would be difficult for some vehicles especially if it gets damp. It has two showers but only one was currently working. The issue I had was on the last night, six cars arrived with 6 adults and 10 children staying in two tepee tents (that hold 4 in each) The parents spent the time drinking and the children ran riot until midnight, not the peaceful stay I was looking for. The site is just to small for such a large out of control crowd and you have no way of knowing who you are sharing the field with.

From the manager: Hello, I’m so sorry you felt the site was too small. The site is 1.5 acres and we don’t have mapped out pitches and allow our guests to use as much space as needed without intruding on your neighbours. The current entrance is on a slope yes, however, there is a second entrance that we can open should we get rain and the ground becomes slippery. You can see the gate to that entrance in one of your photos. I’m so sorry about the noise. We do ask guests to be quieter after 10pm. Had you alerted us to this at the time we could have come out to ask them to keep noise levels down. Although we state that 4 people can stay in each on site bell tent, we cannot guarantee that people will adhere to this. Again if you had raised this as a safety concern at the time we could have managed that. I’m sorry you didn’t have a peaceful stay and enjoy your time like the majority of our guests do.
