We stayed for one night just as a stop over on a long drive, and found the campsite to be really lovely. Comfortable and flat pitches, a clean port aloo and friendly animals in the nearby fields. We had a peaceful night sleep and would definitely return!

This place is quite basic - no showers (as clearly stated in their blurb), portaloo, no washing facilities. Nice location though, a short drive to the pub. Pleasant views.
Great weekend
