A big field with basic facilities but a warm welcome from Rob. Plenty of space and relatively quiet.

The campsite was easy to find and not far from shops and a pub. We were aware that this is a pop up campsite so didn't expect anything posh. There were 3 compost toilets and 3 showers housed in a makeshift block. I'm quite use to basic camping and was not phased by the toilets. However, due to very high winds, the structure started falling apart as it was very flimsy. It was a bit scary showering and wondering if the door was going to fly off. It was advertised there would be coffee and food vendors there on occasions, but never saw them. I had read in other reviews that this seemed to be the same for others. However, would consider staying there again as the location was ideal for what we wanted.
