Liked: The views were fantastic. The family were lovely and very friendly. We got stuck as we had a lot of rain & the owners towed us off.
Disliked: Didn’t use the facilities but were basic.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked: Staff welcoming and friendly on arrival. The campsite looked very clean and organised. Good facilities including clean toilets, nice showers, communal fridge use available. Campfires allowed which is a must for us. Great for kids (use of flat field for sports) and large groups.
Disliked: Quite limited where to pitch due to it being a sloped field and (through no fault of the campsite) the recent weather meant it was very wet and boggy at the bottom of field so we had to pitch at the top.. which happens to be next to a very noisy road. Additionally, large groups are able to book here- which is great if you’re wanting a lively site however meant we spent what we thought would be a restful wknd overlooking a large group of youths constantly urinating behind their tent and their partying til about 3am. I do think lively sites are great and i have purposely booked sites for that reason myself before but booked this one for a rest, under the impression they had strict quiet time. Again this place is great if you’re booking for a lively wknd but just think should be advertised as such, the staff are lovely but patrolling in evenings would be beneficial as at one point one of the large groups let something burn on the grass near people’s cars for over an hour so there’s a safety element. As I say this place would’ve been great if we’d have wanted a lively wknd as we sometimes do but was under the impression it peaceful
