Liked: Lovely friendly staff. Was made to feel very welcome. The site was very clean. Showers and toilets very clean. Lovely hot water. Liked that there was a shower, toilet and sink in each cubicle as well as separate toilets and sinks. Plenty of waste, water and rubbish points. £5 of electricity included in price. The woods right next to site were great for an afternoon stroll. Was pretty quiet when we visited, very relaxing. Was asked if we wanted to move to another plot as we were in the middle of a few families with children. Moved to other side and was lovely and quiet. Was great for our first outing in our camper van.

From the manager: Thank you so much David for a super review! We do try hard to make sure that everyone is placed in an area where they will be happy. We cannot always move people depending on how busy we are and what we have come in, but if we can and have the space we do try. We are glad that your first experience in your campervan was enjoyable for you and we would love you to come back again another time. The Oak View Team.
