Liked: Lovely setting. Stress free check-in and very quiet area. Food and pints are good value. We came with a Tentbox and booked a non electric grass motorhome pitch (best to ring ahead when booking)
Disliked: Toilet/shower block is small but after reading other reviews it seems that they are aware of this and have plans to build more.

Liked: 2nd stay here, 1st time on grass pitches. Good size, ample big enough for trailer tent, Awning, car & still find space for seats outside & BBQ room. Really quiet in general, minimal noise from the pub on site.
Disliked: Only down side - one of the 2 toilets outside service for some of Friday, but was back up & running early doors on the Saturday

Liked: Very difficult to get a mix between a great pub with a great touring/motorhome site but Charlie Bassets has really hit the nail on the head. Pitches are very generous in size and superbly maintained. Owners were incredibly accommodating.
Disliked: Having to pack up and leave
