Liked: What an amazing campsite! This place is not only spotlessly clean and very well maintained, it’s also got a quirky charm you may never find anywhere else. Not going to say what makes it quirky because it would spoil the lovely surprises you’ll get when you get arrive on site for the first time :-) Everything about the place has character - the gate across the entrance, the reception area, the bar and cafe (which are a very short walk away), they all have a charm that makes this site special. It’s a really peaceful place, possibly not for campers who like to party, because it’s a quiet site. The owner came to introduce himself just after we arrived and there is a number to call if you need to speak to him There are some other holiday lets there too which give the site a warm, nostalgic feel to it - it’s just brilliant and so well done - well worth seeing! The camping area itself is beautifully kept. Freshly mown grassed areas with electric hook up points. The waste disposal areas are very clean and completely odour free. It was a perfect camping experience for us.
