What our customers say
The site owners were helpful and friendly. We arrived quite late and they rang to make sure we were ok and could find them. They took us to our pitch which was just next to a lovely park for our children to play on. We needed wood for our fire and they brought a bag for us. Payment was really easy, paid by card in the middle of the field!!
Toilets and showers were spotless and the site was really well looked after.
We absolutely would rebook!
Jodie B.
Beautiful peaceful location with clean facilities. Owner Belle was very helpful, as was support from Tony during the evening. Will definitely come again
Jane E.
Easy to find, quiet location. Shown to our pitch, and everything explained and pointed out on our arrival. Would definitely return
Francis G.
It was absolutely lovely. Great location. The owners are very friendly, the on site ski club are very friendly and welcoming. Certainly will visit again.
Stacy J.
Everything! Fabulous rural location, so quiet and peaceful. Hosts friendly and very welcoming. Toilets immaculately clean. We had the touring field to ourselves the first night so were able to pitch by the river. There is a club house adjacent (not part of the site) but we were invited to go for a drink. Will definitely go back when next in the area - perfect place to relax and unwind.
Sheelagh P.
The site is very friendly and relaxed and the field were in was right next to river so was nice to see the boats going past. The owners are lovely and very accomodating too and we loved being able to use our little off ground fire pit to make the night cosy sat outside
