Liked: We liked that everyone was very friendly and gave us a tour of the site and explained how things work. A very peaceful and quiet site. There are at least 5 good pubs within walking distance.

Disliked: I didn't like the step coming out of the shower room

Ros G.

Liked: The beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Lovely place to watch a sunset, no light pollution, so great for enjoying the night sky.Sharon and her team were very friendly and helpful. Great showers and clean toilets. Well kept level pitch.

John M.

Liked: A beautifully peaceful site. Toilets and showers might be basic and a little old fashioned but are spotlessly clean. Being surrounded by horses in the paddocks around the camp site adds the calm ambience of the site and aids the unwinding process. Perfect for walkers, cyclists, adventure bikers and couples wanting to “get away from it all”.

Disliked: WiFi kept dropping out and was super slow. OK for checking email but not really up to surfing the web and definitely no streaming possible.

Liked: The rural site was surrounded by fields occupied by horses - it was idyllic. The staff were friendly and helpful. Toilets, showers and washing up facilities were very clean. It was peaceful, relaxing and perfect. The wifi was handy too.

Disliked: I didn't have a problem with anything. It was lovely.

Liked: the peaceful surroundings, watching the horses and ponies grazing, listening to the birds. Access into the site was fairly easy, we were guided onto site after booking in. My daughter is very keen on learning to ride so I booked her a lesson during our stay. There are a couple of nice country road walks and the views are beautiful. Soft grass pitch, toilets were clean as were the 2 shower facilities, washing machine and dryer in one of the shower rooms and a sink for washing up.

Liked: EVERYTHING! Sharon and her team were lovely, responsive and accommodating.

Lovely pitch, level ground. Easy to find. Amazing views! We had such good weather that we opened the van backdoor, watched the horses and the sunset. It was so quiet and peaceful, it felt like getting away from the world.

The facilities were very clean, which is especially impressive when it's a working Equestrian centre.
The facilities were NOT far from the pitch. I don't understand other reviews saying that they are, when it's a short walk away. I've definitely stayed at pitches where the toilets are much further!

Wifi at the pitch was good. Something unique to offer, as there is a router by the campsite.

All the horses looked very well looked after and were sweet, they enticed me into a riding lesson. I had a 1-1 with Sharon and learnt a great deal. Very knowledgeable and a kind teacher.

I would definitely visit again, both for camping and a riding lesson.

Disliked: Not being able to stay longer (personal life commitments)!

Liked: This is an excellent campsite for the equestrian enthusiast.
Sharon and her staff provide a wonderful site.
The pitch was clean and land well maintained, the in road was a little bumpy, but that's to be expected on a working farm, plus they were taking steps to resolve those issues whilst I was on site.
The showers and washing area were spotless and the water hot.
I prebooked a horse riding lesson for my daughters before arrival, but Sharon managed to squeeze another in before we left the site. All the staff were really helpful and I felt that my children were safe on the site.
Will definitely be returning again.
