Electric optional hardstanding and grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Didn't get the opportunity to like anything. There was no pitch for me when I arrived with three kids in the van. I'm only writing this because the computer insisted. Wouldn't have mentioned it if this section was optional.
Disliked: No where to pitch a tent because the whole place had been booked out for a "pirate festval," obviously a miscommunication between pitchup and the site. Can't comment on the site because it was dark when I arrived. Perhaps pitchup should do more to confirm bookings with site management? Or site management should check pitchup more often. I would like to get my deposit back, but still haven't heard from either of them.

From the manager: Hi Pitchup, i am naturally disappointed regarding this revue. However i do not believe it to be at all typical of the site. Some days ago I believe that some one had been either extremely ill, or a section of the toilet block had been sabotaged. In my 12 years of running the site i have never seen a mess like it.If a camper wandered into the situation they would have every right to complain. It was cleared up by me as soon as I was aware of the disaster the following morning, but I do not know how many people saw the mess. There was an alternative toilet available, in a separate location.The toilets are monitored at least once a day, and although they are fairly basic they are functional and include hand washing facilities. I am going to ask Pitchup to remove this revue from our page, I believe this to have been a one off unfortunate event, hopefully it will never be repeated. This is basic no frills site, I try to provide a simple facility in a good location at a fair price, it is enjoyed by many customers who like what we offer and who visit repeatedly. Unfortunately when dealing withe public, unforseen events occur, and it is impossible to monitor these 24/7, we do however rectify these as soon as they become apparent. I trust you will accept this explanation and modify our revues accordingly. Thanks |John R.
Great value and friendly venue. No frills.

Liked: Great location set in a dark sky area which made for great night time viewing, relaxed and friendly atmosphere and a nice little pub which was a stones throw from the site. Despite torrential downpours the site remained well drained and firm underfoot, pitches were large with electric hook up costing £6 per night but only certain pitches.
Disliked: Lack of showers but was made aware of this when booking, dogs (I believe belonging to the site owner) seemed to be allowed to roam unchecked and raided our neighbours food wrappers from a BBQ the night before which were in a rubbish bag outside of their tent, said dogs mess was left and not picked up so not great when children are playing on the same areas.
