Liked: The weather
Disliked: Where do I start!!! Pitched furthest away from toilets even tho my booking requested to be near the loos. Grass was long so constantly had wet feet when walking back and forth to the loos. Now the toilets, they are on the side of the pub, dirty and smelly. No privacy at all. First block no working lock on door so hubby had to stay on toilet duty to make sure no one came in, unisex showers with just a shower curtain and the other shower directly opposite to you not even arms length again these are unisex!! No where to change once showered unless you struggle behind the very unhygienic shower curtain! Needless to say we didn't shower while on our weekend which was rubbish !! Not like its the cheapest place around as it wasn't! We may of been better off wild camping! At least we would of had a better view than the pub carpark ... tractors blasting past every few minutes as obviously they were taking advantage of the great weather , however when these monster tractor and trailers are back and forth throughout the night was a bit of a joke!! Absolutely zero atmosphere on the site (field, next to the pub carpark) , will not be returning .. might be ok for motorhomes using it as a pit stop for a longer journey but as regular weekend campers we wouldn't be returning. Oh supposed to be an adult site yet there was a group of campers with a bunch of young children ...

Liked: Very relaxing stay, free showers and toilets, chemical disposal point and drinking water all a stones throw away from the camping field. Nice pitches some with EHU The lady who checked us in was very professional and explained things even giving us a sheet with the wifi code again free also when I booked a table for the evening was informed that I wouldn't my pitch and ehu refunded Very dog friendly Great selection of bears Seems a very busy pub with a large number of people visiting for the food
Disliked: Thw menu my not be to everyone's liking
