Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: With widely open space for kids to play. Enough distance between pitch and friendly staffs to assist. Reasonable admission fee. Movable toilet is good, can't complain.
Disliked: Little bit far away and less number of water tap, preferable more. Driveway too muddy for vehicles crossing the entrance, easier to get stuck.

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: Very nice little site, tucked away from most of the hustle and bustle. Short walk to the Lion and Lamb pub, and another pub a 5 minute drive the opposite way. Great to go and chill out with a few friends, and everything is excellently priced, including the braziers and firewood - I’ve highly recommended the place to others I know
Disliked: Site was flooded upon arrival and rained all night - but not your fault, can’t help the rain!

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: Not too far off the trail, easy enough to find and plenty of space
Disliked: I would've like there to be at least a few picnic benches, I stayed on similar grounds (e.g. farm paddocks) and had benches to eat and cook on.
