An excellent site for tent camping, marvellous Show more

An excellent site for tent camping, marvellous sites in woodland setting and pitches not too close together. Showers were very clean and hot! We had a marvellous time building fires! Free use of internet next to the shop which also sells a good range of camping gear and cycling equipment (bikes available to hire). Lovely picturesque setting and great woodland walks up the hill.

This is a great campsite. Just spent a really enjoyable night on one of the woodland pitches, which are really private and brilliant fun for small children. The little'un loved wandering through the wood, playing by the stream, making a camp fire and visiting the chickens. There are really too few toilets/showers on the site for the number of campers, but importantly these facilities are of a good standard. I will definitely be returning to this campsite.
