Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: The site was exactly as described. We were happy with the basic facilities for one night. We were invited to pitch up anywhere we liked.
Disliked: The countryside is not as quiet as it seems, and the road nearby seems to attract bikers late into the night. As it was the end of the season, the portaloo had become quite full, so we did not use them.

Liked: Local handy location with lovely views. Clean portaloos/plenty of toilet paper. The refund given.
Disliked: I was told we'd "picked the wrong day to come" and no one was available to help according to the owner - after I'd complained about the antisocial noise coming from the 50+ party who kindly brought along drums, guitars, microphones all plugged into their very own P.A system, in the same "small/quiet/no music allowed" field we pitched in. By 3am I was praying for heavy rain to drown out some of the noise. At 6.40am the music stopped. Don't bother reading their rules and policies because they're not adhered to.

From the manager: The group concerned came out last year and we had no trouble with them, in fact, a camper on the following evening joined in with them and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We have given a full refund for the night booked and have offered a free night's camping in lieu. Usually our site is very quiet and peaceful, as commented on in the other reviews here
Passable for one night, still the noise level was too much for us.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: The view and how commutable it was to the coast.
Disliked: Was not warned about festival levels of music coming from neibouring farm all night long. Ashame this is a reality for working farms because for the price and location it ticked most boxes.

From the manager: Hi, We have given you a complete refund for the one night you spent with us, and offered a free night's camping at a future date. This group of people stayed with us last year and we had no problems, in fact, a camper on the second night enjoyed the music and had a drink and some food with them
The location was perfect for what we wanted.
