Liked: Plot sizes were great, location was peaceful, facilities were kept clean. The 2 stars for Wi-Fi was actually a good thing as this meant time away from social media and more time spent together talking.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike, totally relaxing location.

Liked: Brilliant farm camping with great facilities. A bracing walk to the sea at West Bay, lovely local footpaths and direct access to some very fine cider meant our two night camp was very well spent. We were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves as it was early in the season but everything was up and running for hot showers, firewood and one of the most excitable Jack Russell's you'll encounter.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: The owners were very friendly, explaining everything. The site had only just opened for the season and I was the only one camping but felt very safe. Off ground fire pits were at each pitch, but you need to purchase your wood there, which is fair. Free WiFi around the tasting room /toilets. The cider was VERY good.
Disliked: The showers could do with a couple of little touches such as pegs for towels and a shelf for toiletries. Also a small hole in the door needs filling for privacy. These are very minor points though.
