Liked: Lovely little camp, Good pub!! Area was clean, grass well cut.
Disliked: Not a dislike as such just a recommendation - nowhere to hang clothes or put toiletries in the bathrooms, could do with some hooks and a small shelving unit for us women who have a lot of stuff 😂

Liked: Liked everything from minute we got here the staff are so friendly. We had trouble finding an electric hook up as I think we got here last and one didn't work but cosied up close to another van and found a working hook up. The food is amazing high quality nosh a little pricey but worth every mouthful. Daughter liked the games room and had a game of darts. Showers nice and hot next morning will defo stay again.
Disliked: Some woman bunked in front of us in the queue for food that's not a slur on the site just other ignorant people.

Liked: Fantastic shower block and toilet facilities. Staff are very welcoming, informative and friendly. Food at the site pub is incredible. The site is well kept and clean overall. Beautiful surroundings and a great quiet atmosphere.
Disliked: It is a shame there is no play area for the children on site. The facilities did get rather smelly on the second day that we were there and could have been cleaned. Unfortunately, there were a lot of dog owners that left there dog poop around the lake area. Maybe some bins?
