Liked: Site was very well organised, Showers and toilets were very clean, shop well stocked, the view of surrounding mountains were beautiful, the pub at the top served lovely food, my only gripe was the staff could maybe a little bit more friendly towards customers, overall we enjoyed our stay and will be coming back next year.

Liked: The location and views were great. The site facilities were clean and easily accessible and the local walks around the site were great. Staff were also friendly and on hand to help if needed. There is also very limited to no phone signal which was a lovely, welcomed break and electronic switch off!
Disliked: Not a dislike as such but something to be aware of - the ground in parts of the pitch are very rocky and rock pegs are definitely required to secure tents

Liked: Flat pitches, clean facilities, well stocked shop, good WiFi and helpful staff. Was able to park near the pitch without having to drive on the grass.
Disliked: Despite repeated communication that groups of no more than six were allowed, there were a number of large groups on the site, though they weren’t disruptive.

Liked: The views from the campsite are amazing. The staff are available and happy to help. The dishwashing and bathroom facilities are clean and warm. The campsite shop stocks everything you might need. We liked the fact that there is a pub onsite and were particularly impressed that the chef put lots of effort into putting together a vegan dessert on request.
