We visited over the busy Easter Bank Holiday weekend, and were met at the gate by the friendly wardens, who quickly explained the site and the available pitches. We chose one on what would have been the terrace of the old house, and it was a stunning location. The site is well laid out, and despite being full (although not all the grass pitches were open when we visited) didn't seem busy or overcrowded. Reception gladly lent us a book on the history of the site, the mansion that once stood there, the family who owned it and the many uses it had prior to it falling into disrepair - well worth asking if you can borrow this for the evening! While the house may have gone, the beautiful gardens, specimen trees, terraces and stone steps remain and this gives the site character that is in missing others - no sense that you are camping in a field here! Despite being busy, the toilet blocks were spotless. This site is a little gem in the network, the wardens are friendly and helpful and we have already booked a return visit! Highly recommended
