Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Fantastic camp site, pitch anywhere, fire pits provided. Clean toilets and showers with washing up sinks and water supply. Dogs welcomed. Camp site was quiet as only a small number of parties allowed. Level pitches, freshly mown grass.
Disliked: Showers were not hot. Fastest shower my daughter has ever had! Might try it at home.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: A great location to use as a base, dog-friendly pub on-site offering extensive menu and a large beer garden with patio seating and outdoor heating. Functional plumbed facilities (toilets and showers) cleaned daily with hot water available. Communal washing-up area and access to drinking water readily available. Dog walking areas. Level pitch. Variety of shops within driving distance and option for take-away delivery as the location is well-known. Fire-pits available free-of-charge.
Disliked: A communal fridge freezer would be a nice-to-have. The option to buy wood for the firepit would have been appreciated. Recycling facilities would be a nice-to-have. Not an issue for us, but to note driving is essential to stay here.

Liked: Quiet location, the pub was lovely and breakfast shack was super handy and open until 4. Nice size fields for camping with campfires allowed, which is what we often look for. Toilets and showers were fine and fit for purpose. We would 100% stay again!
Disliked: No a dislike but the showers and toilets were very basic and there were only two. Could do with a couple more as there was often a queue

Liked: The campsite is situated just behind the pub but far away that it’s super quiet, easily accessible and no problem finding it. Everyone working in the pub is helpful and friendly, a very nice atmosphere and pleasant to spend time in there. Campsite facilities are good, pitches are level, decent showers and toilets, general sinks for cleaning plates etc are useful. Such a quiet campsite and I felt very safe and secure at night during my time there.
