Primitive grass campsite (no pets)
Liked: Lovely facilities, two hot showers with swallows nesting which was certainly a unique experience! Clean compost loos. Generous pitch sizes. Very helpful owner who advised us on where best to pitch after some heavy rainfall leaving the ground quite soggy. Hot water washing up area and a hand washing station. I loved the cold wash room which is great for getting ready for bed of an evening, I always find it gross when people use the washing up facilities for this so I thought this was a great idea which I had not seen before!
Disliked: Midges! Don't forget your bug spray!

Liked: I loved the tranquility of the pitch and the facilities were clean and tidy throughout my stay. It was my first experience of a compost loo but I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the cubicles each day. I liked the separate cold washroom and the washing up area and showers too.
Disliked: There wasnt anything I disliked at all

Liked: Showers were warm and clean. Day room was a nice touch.
Disliked: The site looked overgrown rather than managed mown and wild areas and the ground was not in a good condition for camping or driving on and off the site.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. This season has not been easy due to continual rain and some of the tracks were struggling to cope. I am in the process of getting some more stone put down in the more troubled areas, to assist campers in the future. A lot of the site is left natural to allow wildlife to enjoy the area as well as campers, admittedly the weather conditions have not been favourable to showing this off at its best. I wish you luck with your future sites of choice.
