It's easy to while away the hours on this relaxed, community-like site with great fishing, extensive private footpaths and plenty of wildlife - and pond life - to watch! Richard and Chris take pride in keeping a peaceful, pleasant site. Always busy but happy to stop and chat, I know that they'll take the time to make sure I'm happy with the best available pitch. Many guests come from all over the country to this sanctuary, returning year after year, and there's almost a private - but certainly not exclusive - feel. Spending a week in 'Kestrel's Rest' shepherd's hut was a pure delight! Sumptuously beautiful and pristine, with every detail having been thought of from the well-appointed kitchen with all the essentials you'd expect, to the truly *exceptional* bed with ample storage underneath - and TV! Great shower. Truly a user-friendly space, yet luxuriously stylish; perfect for a special, celebratory break. Having also camped here, I can say it's a great site for animal-lovers. Though I don't own a dog myself I've never had any issues with other guests' dogs, which always seem to be well-behaved and on leads. Facilities are perfectly adequate and the free showers are powerful. A true sanctuary!

So close to being 5 stars but the lake has a generator or pump which drones on 24 hours. It may not annoy must but it got right into my skull with the pop top on the camper open. It was a shame as the place is pretty near perfect. Perhaps the owner might put some padding around the noise source to dampen the noise, it’d be a 5 then and I’d return for sure. Lovely place, lovely people, lovely wildlife.
