Liked: Lovely toilets/ showers in the Gym area. Lovely bar area.
Disliked: We were parked on the gravel car park rather than the main campsite area. Probably my fault as I booked gravel because we didn't want to be on grass. Was a bit noisy from the bar but it did close relatively early.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch
Liked: Bowness on Solway village is quaint and interesting. A wee gem of a place.
Disliked: The motor home pitches are just to the edge of a car park, with construction work in progress to one side. This detracts and needs some thought to improve.
