Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: Good experience in comfortable May breeze at wild camping like site. Despite no drinking water, only portable toilets, a few flat pitch, no car park by the tent and noisy neighbor, I really enjoyed the camping in the nature. Sound of creek flow, mountain view, cracking sound of wood in bonfire, sheep visit in the morning and friendly owner Joe, all tranquilized me.

Liked: We came as a trip away , we have been trying to find a nice campsite for a while which is safe but also private , Joe who owned the pitch was fantastic making sure we was ok and checking up on us , there is a portaloo on site for toilet facilities and the local town has everything you might need , amazing location and we are returning in two weeks time ! We also brought our dog who loved the open space and site , views are incredible around the area and we also chose to add a fire pit which was great at nighttime and Joe was great making sure we had enough wood , definitely recommend !
Disliked: Nothing

From the manager: Hi Kelly, thank you for your feedback - we have made improvements to the site this year - ensuring the toilets are more central to the camping field and ensuring the grass is freshly cut. We are a quiet, family friendly site and do our best to maintain this. We hope we get chance to welcome you again this season. Take care, Joe & Robyn

Liked: Lovely no frills campsite in a beautiful location. We pitched towards the top of the field for the better views. Such a scenic and tranquil place. There was only one other tent so it was almost like wild camping! Joe was so friendly and welcoming. Toilets were clean. We would definitely return.
Disliked: The field is quite uneven but we were fine on an airbed. The midges were horrendous! We got over 59 bites each but this is natures fault, not the sites!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your review. We are so sorry you ended up with bites and we would love to see you again next year. Thanks Joe and Robyn
