Large Tent - Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2026

We had a lovely stay at the campsite and it was a great location and plenty of space. The only complaint that I have is that there was no toilet roll in the ladies toilets on Sunday morning, in any of the toilets, but aside from that, it was lovely and we would return for sure 🥰

Very nice campsite
