Liked: Very friendly staff who were so accommodating, a lovely spot and well maintained. The outdoor showers were the highlight - lovely and warm!
Disliked: Slightly noisy with the planes going overhead but soon got used to it and there's nothing that can be done about it apart from making people aware.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: A perfect stay - an absolutely beautiful site right next to (as in actual strolling distance) interesting attractions and a cool craft brewery. Loved having a dip in the stream and the owner was super friendly and helpful. The campsite was v relaxed and clean. I was worried about the river as we have toddlers but we stayed in Railway meadow and it was really safe for them there.
Disliked: Nothing, it was fab!
