Liked: Amazing site, with lovely clean facilities, and local information to hand. Only a short walk to a lovely pub, and the campsite itself had stunning views, lovely fishing lake and stunning dark sky for star gazing. Fire Pits allowed for the authentic camping experience Will definitely visit again.

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked: Fairly level pitches, although our friends had to use levellers for their motorhome. Loved the rheas, geese and ducks. Nice quiet site, very friendly owners. Several water taps around the site, so never far away. Free WiFi, although seemed a bit patchy in the evenings.
Disliked: Toilet bowls could do with a good clean with bleach.

Liked: Lovely site very relaxed, pitches were big and had lots of stuff for the kids. The owners were super friendly and helpful. The electric did keep tripping out, which was annoying but overall a lovely site and we would definitely go again.

Electric optional grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Beautiful surroundings, lovely owls hooting at night, great star gazing, good facilities if they were clean, large level pitches
Disliked: Soft muddy pitches, lots of wasps, dirty facilities (they weren't cleaned in the 5 days we were here), dogs barking throughout the night (guests fault really), the limestone track gets everywhere on shoes and is hard to clean. The electric pitch charge is very steep for a tent stay. Onsite firewood was damp and didn't light.

From the manager: This is a disappointing review especially as the camper made no mention of any complaints while on site. We've had heavy rainfall and some pitches are muddy where tents have been pitched for a week or more. We coned off pitches we considered unsuitable, however, this camper drove through the cones onto a muddy pitch. They were offered an alternative, drier pitch, but declined. Our toilets are cleaned, without fail, at least twice a day, three times if considered necessary, but are only as clean as left by the last user. We have signs asking for campers to contact us in the event of the facilities not being clean. Where there is food, there will be wasps at this time of year. Campers need to manage their own food storage, wasps really are out of our control. Is £6/night excessive for hook up? Based on our overheads we don't think so. In addition to power we've had to pay for installation, breakages and ongoing annual inspections. All in all, we consider this to be an unreasonable review where we weren't given a chance to rectify issues which could have been addressed.
