Staff greet you as you enter, they offered a camp fire and chairs, they were very friendly. It was a nice and quite little site, with horses in the surrounding fields, we could hear birds of prey in the night. The night sky was so clear, we got to watch a meteor shower which was an experience I will never forget. We will be back soon.

Wonderful memories made, in a beautiful location, with fantastic hosts. David and Jill made our first experience of camping without a hook-up amazing. They could not have done anymore! Always willing to be of help: from David building our camp fire to answering my pre-schooler's constant questions and allowing us to check out later than we should. They made every effort to ensure our stay was as comfortable and easy as possible. The cleanliness of the site was pristine, every care taken to ensure toilets and kitchen facilities were immaculate at all times. We initially booked for 2 nights but increased our stay to 3 as we were having such a fabulous time. I would highly recommend this site and will definitely be returning next summer.
