Electric optional grass pitch
Liked: Nice welcome. Flat pitch on hard standing as the grassed area was soft & we would have probably needed towing out if we had stayed in the field.
Disliked: Dirty toilets & showers. Definitely needs an upgrade, very dated & unkept.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your comments If you had a problem with the toilets and shower area and had told us we could have had them cleaned again . They are cleaned regularly but if there are any problems in between we do not know
Small, relaxed and generally ok site. Not bad for a short stay.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked: A small site with plenty of space for the kids to just run about and have fun in the fresh air. You get a bit of air traffic from the local airfield, some in the night as well, not to much of a bother though. Pitch was flat and electric card with standard amount on was enough for 2 nights with the cooler running, lights and heater on at night. Generally just a peaceful couple of days catching up with family. Pretty relaxed site where you make your own fun. We played a bit of cricket and flew the kite.
Disliked: Toilets and showers were not great but for a small site, probably adequate. Could do with a refresh and a little more space in the cubicles. If club house allowed dogs inside, I may have gone in for a pint.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked: Ideal size area of pitches, lots of grassy areas for the kids to play. My dad really enjoyed the fishing and my husband really enjoyed the golf!
Disliked: I walked into the pitch markers twice they are a silly height poking through the longer grass, Would be great to have a kids play park.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments. Glad you enjoyed your stay and the fishing We are going to change the markers and make them taller
