Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: The owner was very welcoming and explained where everything was. Basic site, drinking water, toilets (clean) and washing up sink, but this was all we needed out of our trip we were not looking for the extras. The views from the top field was amazing! Lots of local things to do. Would come and stay again!
Disliked: The address when put into google takes you to a farmhouse at the back of the property. we had to go back on ourselves to find it.

Liked: Very beautiful views lovely sunset and nice and peaceful, spacious pitch
Disliked: Quite rocky floor which would usually be fine but our airbed has a slight puncture so woke up with a sore back, if there was no puncture would have been perfect 👍

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Nice small campsite. Easily booked on Pitch up and very well priced. Pretty quiet surroundings away from the road. No shower facilities which was fine as we just needed a quick overnight stay after a long day at Alton Towers and early departure home the next day. Toilet was cute in a little shed (separate male & female) although the light didn't work. Location was 15 mins from Alton Towers and about 5 mins drove from nearest town where we went for food. All pubs stopped serving food by about 7pm but takeaways were open late
Disliked: Not much not to like tbh.
