Liked: Location is great. Loads of wildlife at night and great for star gazing. Had some late night noise issue but owners responded, I felt heard.
Disliked: 20p for showers wasnt so bad as at least they were hot but you really need somewhere to get change. There wasn't really anyone ever around that I saw.

Liked: Loved the aspect of the site. The field is good and the two halves are divided by a line of trees. Amazing to be so close to the classic railway line and enjoyed seeing and waving at passing trains. Campfires are allowed and for £10 you get the firepit, 2 bags of logs and a few fire starters delivered to your pitch. That’s amazing! It’s quite peaceful except for a bit of road noise and the trains. The price is fair and right for what you get, it really is a great site.
Disliked: Don’t expect a warm, personal welcome here, we didn’t have any contact with anyone except the lad delivering fire pits. On the hot days this weekend, there wasn’t much shade to protect from the strong sun. All the shaded pitches were taken. When it’s busy, there’s a lack of level pitches. It’s also a long walk to the toilet & showers & fresh drinking water so it’s a long way to carry it back to the tents. Could there be a tap closer to the site? 20p showers save long queues, BUT the shower meters are outside the shower cubicles, and water starts running for 2 mins as soon as you put the coin in: Good preparation or teamwork needed - to get stripped off before the shower starts or to ask someone to put the coin in for you. Unfortunately the shower situation and lack of sinks, encourages people to be half dressed and washing themselves and their hair at the washing up basins!
