Great location, lovely pitch and bonus if the pub is open
Just back from a great weekend at the Crown. Huge, flat hard standing pitch (pitch 5), all with drinking water and electric. Grey waste and chemical disposal not far at the entrance to the CL. As others have said, the shower room is accessed through the side of the beer... Show more

Lovely spot, declining facilities.
This is no doubt a lovely spot. Right next to rolling hills and dozens of walks both up hill and flat along the old railway line, and very quiet (I assume unless a late night event at pub). The plots are huge and incredibly level, each one with its own... Show more

Our go to site.
Our go to site, never disappoints. Large pitches, fully serviced, gorgeous views. Feel close to nature, dark skies great walks. The Crown is closed but watch out for pop up Crown Outdoor events in the lovely garden. The Blacksmiths Arms is close by good pizzas. Love this site.

Disappointed
We have been regular visitors to this CL since it opened. We enjoy the local walks and the pub. It has now increased its price by 25% with no improvement in facilities. Still only one toilet. There is no Motor home waste disposal point and no WiFi on site. What has... Show more
