Liked: Our pitch overlooked the pond and each pitch had a picnic table. Beautiful location and lots of wildlife around including resident chickens and a rabbit. The owner was extremely helpful and friendly and you can really tell they enjoy what they do. Clean facilities and there was a honesty shop with fresh eggs!!

Liked: Huge pitches with picnic table and countryside views. Rural and quiet although road noise could be heard in the evenings. Fabulous free range eggs from the Honesty Shop. Enclosed dog walk/area.
Disliked: No hot water for washing up. Also, I'm sure the site description stated there was WiFi but there wasn't. Not a major issue re: WiFi but description needs amending.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review glad you enjoyed your stay. We have no WiFi onsite sadly, this is clearly shown on our Pitchup.com page as is the same for hot water. It's something that we will look into on the future as we keep improving the site. Thank you Huw

Liked: Lovely location with views of hills, fields and wildlife (not spoilt by the pylon which we barely noticed). Great communication from the owner, who was also really friendly. Toilet was clean and pleasant, located in a little cabin with separate shower room, too. The little shop on site was a great feature, and had we been staying longer, we would have certainly used it and tried some fresh local produce.
