Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring PitchesAug 2023

We absolutely loved our stay. Well-kept site, toilets and showers regularly cleaned throughout the day. Enjoyed having breakfast (additional cost) in an old air raid shelter. Phil the owner is a very nice chap, we can't wait to stay again.

Excellent

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesJul 2023

Great place to stay, facilities seemed very clean and the owner was super friendly and helpful. Whilst it's a child friendly site and it was school holidays we stayed there, it did feel a little congested, with lots of noise until quite late, which maybe an area away from peoples tents for people to play ball games could be of benefit. Appreciate that parents could look out for their children more, which is nothing to do with the site itself, but it did get noisy at times. Overall though, we had a great stay and would return.

Nice quiet site

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring PitchesJul 2023

The owner was lovely, he met us on arrival and explained the site layout, he was there again taking our order at breakfast which was nicely cooked and was on hand when we needed.

Great stay

Camping Pod - Glamping PodsJul 2023

Really lovely first time glamping, and at The Pretty Thing. It's a great location (although we did drive by it to begin with, as signage is only noticeable one side as you drive up to it). Really cute pod. Very clean and cosy looking. 2 toilets and 2 showers in the glamping area to use (tip is to get up early to use them to avoid them getting too gross from other campers!) Really loved it, definitely will do it again.

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring PitchesJul 2023

It was our 1st time caravanning, so was a bit nervous pulling on to the site, but everyone was so helpful from other caravaners to the host. I have already booked again as it was the perfect stay, very clean toilets and showers and a superb cafe for breakfast and coffee. Definitely would recommend.

Fantastic place

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesMay 2023

What a lovely nice place to stay, nice and quiet. Me and my partner visited as we wanted weekend away. We wanted to stay another day, which we asked owners about and they said it was fine. We're definitely going to come back here with all my family as it child friendly, which is nice.

Brilliant

Camping Pod - Glamping PodsMay 2023

Absolute gem of a place. We had a lovely time celebrating my partners birthday. We hired the pod along with the fire pit. Tranquil setting, wonderful host, and spotlessly clean. Nothing was too much trouble, even after a few requests. We were made to feel very welcome as soon as we were through the gate. Would definitely recommend.

Sweet campsite!

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesMay 2023

A lovely campsite for our first outing with our new tent. Phil is such a nice guy and makes you feel really welcome. There’s a playground and cafe. The facilities were immaculate, constantly cleaned.
