Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and taking the opportunity to explore some of the many lovely villages in the National Park. Special shout out to neighbour Tagg Lane Dairy and their delicious Raw Jersey Milk - well worth a visit. The campsite was clean and tidy and the pub served lovely food. We’d happily camp there again.

Been here twice now once camping and once in a bell tent. The owners recognised us immediately and welcomed us back. The pub does amazing vegan options including vegan cheese for their pizzas, food is amazing value and so so delicious. Choice of drinks is great and the beer garden is lovely for having a drink in the sun. The facilities are really good, lovely views around and all in all a really nice site and pub. Will definitely be back to the pub but will.leave camping till next year now 😊
