Member feedback reviews (various locations):
'We had a great stay. We were with our dog so we picked the field without the sheep and pitched up by the stream. We had the field
to ourselves, which was lovely. Would visit again, thanks'
'Stayed here with a friend and four children last year. Wonderful experience, and it really did feel away from it all. The children loved having the freedom to explore, whilst the adults enjoyed the camp fire, dark skies and the peace and quiet. We were the only party there for the weekend that we visited, and I gather that is not unusual. Will certainly be looking to go back.'
'I did a recent overnight stay here, was really impressed with the welcome tour etc from the land owner. Really enjoyed my stay . I was designated my campsite, exclusive fire pit which was cool. A family of 5 camped nearby by the other fire pit but were no way intrusive. Felt very welcome. Look forward to returning soon'
