Relaxing and Tranquil
This CL is excellent for anyone seeking somewhere to relax in beautiful surroundings with lots of walking nearby. There are many old villages and small towns in this peaceful part of South Shropshire that are well worth exploring. We telephoned ahead to inform the owners of our expected arrival time... Show more

Peaceful
Spent a couple of nights there this may. Bruce and Anne run a lovely well kept site surrounded by sheep, wonderful country side and interesting places. Eggs for sale at the gate, were excellent, pitches were flat'ish, easy to level a motor home. We will be back.

A lovely site
We spent 10 nights here in September (during the heatwave!) and thoroughly enjoyed the site, and the area too. It is everything you would expect from a rural CL. It is an ideal base to explore the Shropshire Hills, and there are easy walks from the site into Bishops Castle,... Show more

A Superb Site
We stayed here for 5 nights in July 2023. Bruce couldn't have been more welcoming. He's made an excellent job of setting out the very large grassy field. We liked the way each of the pitches were subtly divided by leaving long uncut grass in between each one. The actual... Show more
