Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: - The size of a pitch - Peace and quiet - No under 18s rule - Toilet block nice and clean - Shop 20 min walking distance - Plenty of wood with a firepit
Disliked: - No hot water but it's not a big deal - There's houses nearby, not as remote as preferred, still very nice site though

Liked: Love the location... only 20 minutes away from the motorway . Close to a lovely pub called The Mason's Arms within a 15 minute walk from campsite. Laury and her husband were very nice people and happy to help.
Disliked: Would be lovely if hot water and electricity could be added in the future ..

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: The host was very nice, not intrusive, and felt as though they were easy to contact if you needed anything. The field is large with plenty space to pick from. Toilet facilities were great, fully stocked and clean.
Disliked: More of a suggestion, but a small stone path from the toilets to the edges of field would be perfect! As it was sadly raining during my visit, and being a tent camper, the field got really boggy the more it rained. Meaning muddy puddles/ wet feet were a real concern, especially when dark.
