Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked: Beautiful quiet campsite. Very Good facilities and clean. Lovely owners. Amazing views.
Disliked: Signage could be clearer to find the campsite, although we found it because of the pub. Would be really lovely if you could provide a kettle in the kitchen so that campers can have a cuppa tea. WiFi would be good too. And if possible a small playground for kids would be amazing.

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass tent or RV campsite (large)
Liked: This was such a friendly place, we were made to feel so welcome. We arrived in the rain, so went to the equally lovely pub next door. When we came out, the rain had stopped and the views were stunning. We listened to skylarks, lapwing and saw rabbits. Loved the planting and the young trees and the way the site is cared for - a lot of love has gone into this, you can just tell. Great, level pitches, good, immaculate facilities - really recommended!
