Bella bell tent
Liked: Lovely well equipped tent, really warm welcome as well. The site is set in a really lovely rural location with some really wonderful views and walks, a true place for some peace and quiet.
Disliked: Only minimal, some UHT left in the tent was off and there was only one toilet, neither of which were a huge issue.

From the manager: Thanks Oliver - Mom said was a pleasure to meet you both and please come again. I'm not sure how the uht milk got in there as we don't leave milk for people - I must have missed that when getting the tent ready as possibly left by someone and was hiding in the cupboard. With regards to the loo we only have a few pitches and the bell tent so it's absolutely fine. 😁😁 Kate

Liked: Peaceful site, wonderful views, superb hosts, friendly cat, stunning peacock, unusual shower, in fact everything. We were even allowed guests to celebrate our daughter's birthday with a BBQ, a family tradition of the past 20 plus years. Just hope we managed to keep the noise down for others. Thank you so much to Kate's parents.
Disliked: Weather!! Thunder and hail on our arrival day, which caused a power cut for a few hours and meant a muddy walk the following day. All adding to the adventure!

Liked: We were thrilled with the amazing views and campsite which was very well looked after. The campsite felt like home, with Kate, Stripy, Pea and Twirl making us feel welcome. The shower room was amazing, and reminded us of being back in our village in Malaysia!

Liked: We had the weir view pitch and it was beautiful. The early morning mist to the sensational sunsets. Kate and her mum were lovely and had lots of information about the local area and other areas of interest. The shower in the stable was amazing. Lovely and hot and not on a timer. We sat and listened to the birds with a campfire and a BBQ. Just perfect. We made friends with the peacock the stripes the cat and occasionally twirl the dog. I would say it’s 1 of my favourite places to stay and will definitely be returning. Thank you Kate and mum for keeping this place so beautiful
Disliked: No dislikes 😊

Liked: Kate and her mum couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. We stayed in our camper in the Weir view pitch which was so peaceful with a lovely view. We hired a fire pit including a barrow of logs and a basket of pine cones and spent a lovely evening warming ourselves and watching the sun go down. We also went to the Bull pub in a local village as recommended by Kate and her mum. We set off with directions and 25 mins later after crossing a couple of fields we were sat in a lovely country pub with a cool pint 😁 We had a meal there too and would definitely recommend it. The menu includes classic “pub grub” and it did not disappoint.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike - great location and lovely people.

Liked: As others have said, this is a great little quirky campsite, (though we didn't get round to trying THE shower. . Kate is very welcoming and helpful. We particularly liked that it was so small, almost like having it to yourself.
Disliked: Nothing

From the manager: Yes Nick you didn't try the shower ! Great to meet you both, Mom told me she had a lovely glass of wine with you and a very interesting chat. Come back and visit if you're passing again. Kate
