We absolutely loved it! ❤️ The weather wasn’t on our side, but we actually spent all three days at the campsite without going anywhere, because we felt so comfortable and cosy there. The showers were great, and we really liked the little washing-up area everything was clean, convenient and well thought out. We had such a lovely and relaxing stay and will definitely come back again. We were honestly sad to leave! One thing we were pleasantly surprised about the campsite says there is no internet, but we actu… > > - Tetyana S., September 17, 2026 > Overall the experience was okay. The staff on site were super lovely and helpful and facilities okay. We paid extra for a stream side pitch and the pitch was small, we only had a 4 man tent and not much room in between the tent and the drop to the stream, although we were on the end pitch and the other pitches had a lot more room. The campsite overall felt crammed even though it wasn’t full, would not like to see it when fully booked. Facilities were okay but just okay. The guy in the cafe seemed over worked with orders for food for most of the camp with no help, and to run the shop at the sam… > > - Bethan C., August 24, 2026 > Very good campsite in a lovely location. We went when it was probably at it's busiest, during the school holidays, yet it was still comfortable. The facilities are really good. The shower/toilet/washing block is clean and well maintained. We would definitely stay again but probably when it's less busy as it was hectic at times. That's no complaint towards the site though, they do a great job and the heavy horses there are spectacular to see. > > - Marc R., August 4, 2026 > My partner and I had a fantastic time here, plenty of space on the plots, we had friends stay in the one opposite with their van, very ideal. Amazing views from the site but if you enjoy hiking there’s even more to be seen, toilets/showers kept clean and toilet roll never ran out you won’t need to bring your own if that’s a worry, fire pit on the plots are a lovely touch, perfect being able to get the £6 bags of fire wood on site, cash or card! Great signal on camp too as there’s 5G masts close by, for those that care! Bats at night to watch and a peaceful stream to fall asleep to. Gareth can’… > > - Molly B., August 3, 2026 > Great relaxing place! Toilets were clean, the warden really friendly, everyone is usually respectful of the quiet times. The stream brings extra peace to the campsite. Dog friendly! Would come back. > > - Jonathan V., July 18, 2026
