Liked: There was nothing to dislike. We only stayed for one evening but were welcomed by Alan. He explained the facilities - shower, toilet etc which were spotlessly clean.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Lovely little campsite. Grounds nicely kept. Right next to the cricket club for drinks. Nice and quiet and close enough to the village to walk within a couple of minutes
Disliked: There needs to be more toilets and while the toilets themselves where nice and clean. The rest of the area, cublicles and washing up area, where quite grubby. There are only 2 showers for the campsite and there was quite a queue in the morning and during our stay, 1 of them stopped working.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Great position in the town next to the cricket pitch, we enjoyed watching a match. Nice hot free shower. Small site so quite peaceful and very helpful, friendly people helping to run it.
Disliked: Only one male and one female toilet with a chemical toilet at the end of the field to save a walk at night.
