Bell tent
Liked: The place is lovely as it is quiet and immersed in nature; the tent was clean and comfortable as the space around.
Disliked: There were NO basic services such as a proper toilet and shower; this was very unpleasant and make this place definitely a no go for more than one night.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch (woodland)
Liked: Bluebell woodland, birdsong, lovely walks and villages nearby, toads, newts, beautiful canteen area and outdoor furniture.
Disliked: Noise pollution, loud music coming from other campers, facilities could do with some upgrading (I think this is in the pipeline) - they don't need to be flashy, just eco-toilets and washing up would be nice.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch (woodland)
Liked: It is a place which has all the potential to take you bake tot basics, a place where you can learn to enjoy the silence or the nature, something that most of us seem to have forgotten. Each of the forest places is well chosen nd has its own intimacy. My daughter enjoy it, even if there was no playground. We made barbecues, marshmallows, we painted, we did origami and she learnt how to set up a tent and to make a fire. No phones, no tablets. Liked the idea of the "honesty shop". Well stocked.
Disliked: A large group of guys was camped in the nearby spots and played rave music loud for the first night until 2:30a.m. The second night volume slightly lower. Luckily my daughter was able to sleep alright. Not me. The next night they were a bit more considerate, but then a family which just arrived started playing loud arabic music and other genres in the evening. Why come to places like this to do that? Just go to a concert. Maybe a rule regarding loud music would help. Sound propagates really loud in paaceful places like these. Toilets also need a bit of improvement. In my opinion the existing ones are not enough. Parking also needs some work. In wet weather not great.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch (woodland)
Liked: I loved the wheel barrows at the car park site. This made our day not having to lug our entire car's worth of stuff across the site. There are so many areas to have have a fire as well as smaller fire pits you can borrow.
Disliked: This is not a dislike more of a suggestion to add a sign for areas that are prone to flood/water log, where you can pitch anywhere.

Bell tent
Liked: We stayed in the two bell tents in the ‘secret garden’ for a birthday camp out. The pitch was magical, the woods were full of bluebells and we had a wonderful time. Very peaceful, very child friendly (and properly off grid). Dan was so helpful and friendly. We loved the communal camp kitchen and the campfire… and we’ll be coming back again.
