Trailer Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

The site was in a beautiful location and met all of our needs. We chose this site because of the location and for it being a small campsite. The toilets and shower were clean and enough for the size of the site. The owners were lovely and really helpful. we would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2024

Great little site and only a couple of years old. Easy location to find. Kids love it and adults enjoy the peace whilst they're playing. I think there are planning expanding the electric plots and a little play park which would be great. Fantastic family run site though. Definitely recommend.

Site's response
