Liked: The location - gorgeous views across to the mountains.
Disliked: Facilities - only 2 showers and 2 toilets for females for the whole of the site Pitches - very close together, would hate to be there when it’s busy. We arrived at just before 4:30pm, which i didnt think would be a problem as on site it says you can ring if you arrive after 5pm and someone will come and show you your pitch. Apparently they’d been ringing me and left a message as they didnt think i was coming. The pitches are extremely close together, so it would be awful when it’s busy. There was no lighting up to the toilet blocks, which are a good walk from pitches. The toilet/shower blocks looked tired. There are only two toilets and showers each for men and women. The shower barely got above Lukewarm even when turned fully on. There were hooks missing so minimum space to put clothes. The toilet flushes were broken but just about worked. There were signs and a dog bin for cleaning up after your dog but even though we were only campers there, someone had let there dog mess right in middle of the path to toilets. The one rubbish bin for the pitches was full and no idea when it was due to be emptied. We were given some leaflets about the site and farm, we noticed on way home that apparently there was a cafe on site but we weren’t shown it or told about it

Liked: Staff were very friendly and helpful. The pitch was lovely and flat so we had a great sleep. Views from the site were so beautiful and it was great to have the adventure farm on site which was included in the price. We had a lovely weekend.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Stunning view, great pitch sizes, friendly staff.
Disliked: Screaming and shouting kids, loud music from other tents after 11pm every night. Other campsites does not allow loud noise after 10 or 11pm. We wanted to chill after our hikes but it was impossible because of the noise and noone did anything. Not enough toilets and showers. There was more toilets on the back but they were closed. Only 2 for ladies and 1 for man this is absolutely not enough when the Adventure Farm customers are using it as well. The light in the shower facility switched off in every few minutes so we ended up to have a shower in the dark because the sensore doesn't see people behind the doors.
