Liked: We had the warmest welcome even when the cold wind was whipping around us. Every staff member was smiling and friendly throughout the stay. The site and facilities were lovely and clean. The shop was stocked with basic items from tent pegs to chocolate with a few toys and games there too. Waking up to the herd of deer outside our caravan was so special! We didn't get a chance to embrace the entire site but there is so much to explore! In addition, I saw the fact I had no signal let alone data was a bonus. The WiFi hut for essential communication with the outside world doesn't escape the wind but a good few blankets enabled a video call to family.
