Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesMay 2023

Had a short stay which will rank as one of the best. Had a very special weekend that will stay in our memories for a very long time. My 8 year old made several friends and they chased each other with games throughout our stay. This is a family campsite where you don't get tv's and radios blaring - just the sound of children playing or the wildlife sounds around you. Quiet hours between 10 and 7 were respected. I learnt to fish and the owner Peter gave me some patient guidance on what to do and what not to do but I caught 10 silvers throughout the afternoon. I'll go for the carp once I have some experience behind me! The lakes were full of wildlife which my son and I spent some time together identifying. BBQ in the evening. The site is made up of a few smaller enclosures which was a really good set up. The facilities are basic but as they don't offer to be anything more I thought this was fair. A WC and hot shower was good enough for us. However value for money was very high indeed. Will definitely visit again. (Ps. 7 miles from Bath).

Amazing weekend!

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesMay 2023

The campsite is rural so feels quite wild, however there is lots to access within driving distance. The lakes are very pretty and stocked with fish. My husband had a go and it was busy. Worth remembering that you need to pay for fishing. Campsite rules are clear and mean this is an ideal site for families. Quiet time after 10, fire pits available for rent. Pitches are large and accessible. Drinking water available. The toilet blocks are minimal. I like the fact that the hand wash and toilet paper is provided. I do however think they could have been cleaner. I saw people cleaning them, but because they were heavily used they got mucky. We would definitely stay here again. The bell tent area looked lush and we would like to try those. Dog friendly. You can see and hear wildlife. We stayed on the campsite all weekend and chilled, shops nearby to buy provisions. Recycling and bin area available. This was emptied regularly.

Great location

Went and picked up a tent from the owner, had a great chat, the location is unbelievable and they clearly put a lot of time and effort into it.

Quiet and basic

Motorhome - Non Electric Grass Touring PitchesMar 2023

A lovely setting, quiet and remote, with amazing bird life to be seen. The facilities are basic and we were glad to have a motorhome with toilet on board. We appreciate we were not visiting in the season, so facilities were perhaps not operating to fully. The site is located down narrow roads, and as we arrived in the dark, and with no electricity on site, we could not easily locate where things were. A quick call to the office give us instructions of where we could park. A friendly welcome.
