Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: The pitches were well marked out and spacious. The site was pretty and facilities were all close together and easily found. The shower runs on a coin machine - £1 for 10 mins, so don't forget to take your change with you! The kitchen area was fab and the toilet clean - just don't forget to take your toilet roll up with you as there is none provided. The horses and chickens delighted the kids. Short walk to sandstone trail to go hiking. Host was friendly and welcoming.

Liked: Owners were helpful and friendly, met on arrival with helpful information. Lots of families on site and everyone was friendly. No noise after ten. Good well marked pitches.
Disliked: Limited toilet facilities, otherwise would of scored it five stars.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review. I'm sorry if you had to wait to use bathroom. It's very rare that I see anyone waiting to use the bathroom and then it's only on a bank holiday when I'm totally full as in this case. I'd just like to make a point not related to your feedback but to the previous one where I scored six for cleanliness. Over may bank holiday weekend I was on site constantly and was sitting on the bench overlooking the stable yard. I inspected the toilets and kitchen countless times throughout the weekend sweeping and mopping and emptying bins and changing wet tea towels.id like to thank the campers who stayed for being so tidy and making my job easier. I'm very careful to always make sure all facilities on site are tidy and hygienic. I'd like to take this opportunity to point out to previous campers who.may be thinking of returning, that I have had a new non slip floor installed in the shower which looks very smart and is easy to keep clean. I've also had lino put down in the sitting room next to the kitchen which looks smart and clean.
Great simple site with friendly staff and beautiful surroundings.

Liked: The quiet surroundings, fabulous birdsong and horses on-site. The owners were friendly and welcoming.
Disliked: Not enough shower and toilet facilities. Also had to pay £1 for shower and provide your own toilet roll.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your feed back and I'm glad you would stay again. I do try and strike the right balance. I believe the recommended number of toilets is two for a small site like mine. The only reason I charge £1 for a shower is to stop people spending ages and ages and creating a queue. I don't make any profit. I have tried putting toilet rolls in but people keep taking them and one weekend I out about thirty in which is unrealistic. To compensate, I provide a kitchen with washing up liquid and tea towels and kitchen equipment to make life easier for campers in tents. Even if you haven't paid for electric hook up, all of these facilities including fridges and a freezer, are free of charge. This is quite rare for a small camp site.
Will definitely book again as we had a lovely time at this site.
