Liked: A fantastic woodland setting with excellent views across The Valley. Plenty of birds to watch in the woods. Our host was very helpful, knowledgeable and welcoming. Although in a rustic setting the facilities were good. We loved the tranquil setting.

Liked: • All of the staff were so incredibly welcoming. They were so accommodating to our 16 month old little boy which was reassuring as it was our first time he had ever been camping. • The facilities were amazing and definitely made me feel at ease knowing there was a microwave etc that I can use to heat his food up quickly. • The walks are absolutely stunning surrounding the campsite. • There is local pub, supermarkets and takeaways nearby which was definitely useful as you always forget something when you go camping. • Facilities were clean. • Wood for a campfire was available to purchase from site which was amazing as they delivered it directly to your pitch. • Forest floor pitches meant the tent didn’t get muddy! Always a bonus!
Disliked: Absolutely nothing!

Non-electric hardstanding campervan pitch
Liked: What a fabulous little gem! It reminded me of camping as a child, campfires, chatting, friendly atmosphere, everyone joining in. A great set up and immaculately looked after, everything you could need for a real camping experience, we will definitely return. Its a 10 min walk downhill to the village with shops/pub/butchers etc, but set in woodland so you feel remote whilst there. Very friendly owners, a great find.
