Liked: The site was peaceful, surrounded by beautiful views. The hardstanding pitches were substantially sized and had a picnic table. The toilets were nice enough and kept clean. It had a community pot washing/kitchen with book swap. The site is advertised as back to basics but it also had showers, although they were in porta-loo buildings so we didn’t try them.
Disliked: The grassed area was waterlogged but that’s just the Great British weather for you!

Liked: Campsite was exceptionally clean and tidy. Friendly text from owner advising of pitch number. Very good sized level pitch with nice addition of a picnic table for warmer months.
Disliked: Shower..disappointing and did not use...was a singular module like a portaloo. No hot water to wash hands in in toilet block. No tap linked to hose to fill tank with, when raining things like this have to be quick and convenient.

Get away from it all and enjoy peace & quiet.
