Liked: The chicken shed and the sheep on site. The size of the pitch was brilliant and the ford to access and exit the site was a unique feature which children seemed to love. Its clear some work was started but then seems that nothing has been completed or continued.
Disliked: Noise late at night from other campers, nothing in the showers or toilets to enable them to be wiped out after use so was full of grass and mud due to the weather. Over the entire weekend only saw 1 roll of toilet paper and other than campers saw no one attend to the facilities. No hot water at the so called kitchen clean area. No one there to explain how site worked and no emails or contact from owners. Tried ringing the numbers after the first night of loud music and no answer.

Liked: The site is very nice, it’s unmanned but that didn’t bother us, There is activities not far I.e. water Park
Disliked: This is not a dislike. I just think if there was hard pictures it would be a lot easier for motorhomes i.e. not getting stuck.

Liked: Remote location
Disliked: Having to drive over extremely fast and fairly deep Ford... grass long and ground muddy... abandoned and stripped Caravans kept on site.... no reception, no staff or or any information at all when on site... dirty disgusting toilet and shower blocks... two small wheelie bins for rubbish... very, very basic facilities for water and chemical disposal and a very, very basic site in general, which would be fine and what some people may like but the cost does not reflect the lack of general and basic facilities and requirements that's all other sites offer as a minimum. We actually left a day early because of all this. Would not recommend booking this site.
