Liked: Well looked after small site in lovely location, level pitches. Had a hook up as weather is still a bit nippy. Quiet no music policy allows you to escape and enjoy the countryside. Used the off grid shower and compost toilet as well as the mains toilet. hot water throughout and kept clean. Also bought some wood and kindling for the onsite fire pit to keep toasty outside in the early evening. Honesty box for Free range eggs. Nearby walks a plenty
Disliked: It is a lovely area, though there are a lot of long straight connecting paths that if you aren't used to hiking, perhaps are better suited to cycling. Pubs are all short drive away but not easily walkable to

Liked: The site is lovely, great views on a level field. Fliss, the owner was incredibly helpful with directions (we got lost) and very understanding about our late arrival. Single toilet and shower are modern and clean and plenty of other services - fire pits, lots of information about the local area. Despite the field being a bit boggy, Fliss helped us get sited. Cracking WiFi too 😊
Disliked: The wind 😂 but you can’t control the weather

Liked: Very nice set up. Friendly owners.
Disliked: Not a dislike but suggestion, to separate shower from toilet as that would allow more people to use both facilities.

Liked: What an amazing little campsite this is. Fliss was a lovely, polite and friendly host who answered any questions asked. The campsite itself is well maintained, the main toilet and shower areas are clean and tidy, along with the eco/off grid toilet and shower. The campsite itself is surrounded by beautiful views, crystal clear skies on a night due to no light pollution and so a peaceful due to being out in the sticks and no sound pollution. There’s beautiful streams and walking areas just a short distance from the farm itself, beautiful to wake up to the sound of the birds and the sheep in the neighbouring field. Wished we’d booked in for longer.
Disliked: Only thing I can think of is the rain caused some of the field to become boggy but this is to be expected when it’s grass pitches and just adds to the whole camping experience anyway . So just make sure you pack a spare pair of shoes or wellingtons.
