Liked: Site is small and very beautiful, we camped on the river edge and was able to easily launch our kayaks, the owner Liz was fantastic and we had a very warm welcome to site, my family were able to bottle feed baby lambs which was a new experience and very enjoyable, the portaloos are immaculate anytime of day and are a credit to Liz who must clean them multiple times throughout the day, there is also a drinking water tap.If you like wild swimming the river is deep in areas and very clean, a fantastic campsite.
Disliked: Nothing, the campsite is better than advertised
