Electric grass pitch
Liked: Though we didn't bring children the facilities looked good for them to enjoy, the cafe/bar area was good to it was just a shame the opening hours were reduced a day after our arrival
Disliked: Having a text during our travel to the site telling us our pitch had moved, we didn't hear or see it, caused some confusion with another couple upon arrival, why wasn't it possible to have a phone call instead, and it would have been nice for the owner(s) to pay us a quick visit to ensure everything was OK, but they didn't. Quality of pitching grass not ideal
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Apologies that is was a late change to your pitch but we did explain that it was to accommodate someone who needed to be near to the facilities due to a disability. I did see you in the cafe and touched base with you about the move which you seemed satisfied with, although I acknowledge you didn't get the message prior to arrival. At the end of a busy season our grass is still in pretty good state of repair so I am not sure what was not ideal about it. If you were not happy at the time we would have been very pleased to look at alternatives. The pitch you were moved to also had water which the original did not. Unfortunately we do not have the trade to keep the longer cafe opening hours once the high season is over. There are two pubs and a fish and chip shop in the village within about half a mile.
Friendly site plenty for kids to do food drink reasonable price plenty…

Electric grass pitch (water hook-up)
Liked: Generous sized pitches most with picnic benches and fire pits to hire, friendly staff and very welcoming/comprehensive welcome email. Lots of attractions on site for young and older children (shuffleboard, table tennis, football pitch and some chargeable ones: mini golf, escape room, assault course, axe throwing, gym). Back to nature site with chickens roaming free, Guinea pigs and rabbits. Rustic shower/toilet block using various outbuildings and does look a bit makeshift but works well and different from your traditional bricked shower block. There are two indoor ones to use next to the cafe /bar. Enjoyed our stay here being back to nature.
