Powered grass and earth tent site
Liked: Fabulous and well maintained individually pitches with stunning views. Friendly and very helpful owner who showed us to the pitch. Site was so easily accessed from the main road. All amenities to hand with clean showers and toilet block. Stayed two nights and our dogs were welcomed too. Privacy fencing and hedges made the pitch more exclusive
Disliked: The unavoidable noise from the road, which may decrease as the plantings grow.

Liked: Owner was friendly. Good pitch and facilities. Reasonably priced and well maintained site.
Disliked: This is our second visit to the campsite, lovely site however on both occasions music was being played well past 12am, along with the proximity to the main road, if you’re a light sleeper, possibly not the best site for you as we did struggle, but do appreciate this is something out of the sites control.

Unpowered grass and earth tent site
Liked: Beautiful quiet campsite. Very Good facilities and clean. Lovely owners. Amazing views.
Disliked: Signage could be clearer to find the campsite, although we found it because of the pub. Would be really lovely if you could provide a kettle in the kitchen so that campers can have a cuppa tea. WiFi would be good too. And if possible a small playground for kids would be amazing.

Liked: This was such a friendly place, we were made to feel so welcome. We arrived in the rain, so went to the equally lovely pub next door. When we came out, the rain had stopped and the views were stunning. We listened to skylarks, lapwing and saw rabbits. Loved the planting and the young trees and the way the site is cared for - a lot of love has gone into this, you can just tell. Great, level pitches, good, immaculate facilities - really recommended!
