Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Peaceful location with far reaching countryside views. Loved the little airfield and was able to watch a couple of planes land and take off from the adjoining grass runway. The very friendly guy in the airfield hangar happily showed us his collection of planes which was really interesting too. This site is Ideally situated for visiting several surrounding towns and villages and some nice walks from the site through the lanes. Very friendly owners who kept the amenities spotless.
Disliked: Not really a dislike but most of the site is on a slight slope and chocks were definitely required.

Liked: Really friendly helpful people running the site. We were so grateful for their help and how nice they were. Great little shop with all the bits we’d forgotten to bring and a few extra treats too. Lovely little park that the kids thoroughly enjoyed. A brilliant area for dogs to have a run about. Lovely clean site. Great facilities! All so clean and nice.
