Liked: Bus service (Country Bus) is available from outside the site which made getting about very easy.
Disliked: As others have a ready said. This site is now mainly statics and season tourers. Pitches are unkempt, electrics were aged, toilet blocks old and tired and didn't feel clean. Nothing in the way of amenities in the village either.

Liked: Leaving
Disliked: How long have you got? This place is a total disgrace and the owners should be ashamed of taking peoples money considering what they provide in return. The pitches and the rest of the site in general are not looked after all, it’s in a state of total disrepair it feels almost abandoned. Our EHU turned off in the night meaning our leisure battery got drained and all our food in the fridge spoiled. The place feels like some sort of squat site with most of the pitches being used by people living in their caravans long term, with rubbish and children’s toys strewn around the touring area. The facilities are absolutely foul and extremely basic. No heating at all, There was a disintegrating used plaster in the shower for the duration of our stay and the general filth was astounding - I came out of the shower feeling dirtier than I went in. There is just no care, no regard for paying customers, clearly just a cash cow for someone. The owner should be absolutely mortified to put their name and reputation against this “business”. We booked here as it was cheaper than most in the area but saving a couple of extra quid is not worth it. I understand that budget campsites aren’t exactly the height of luxury but this is a joke. I would recommend pretty much anywhere else. Nearby road noise No Wifi. After making a complaint, initially about the fact that we lost EHU, I was met with the most condescending person I’ve ever come across. Attempted to explain that I needed to actually plug out cable in (we had already disconnected it so we could get out of there) I explained I knew how the EHU’s worked, and then was told I should have tried flicking the trip switch, as if we didn’t do that in hopes of saving our freshly stocked fridge items from spoiling. Was then told it was actually turned off due to construction works?!? The mind boggles. Anyway, eventually got offered a free stay which was quite amusing as you’d have to be the one paying me to come back. Staff appeared nonchalant disconnected Bad turkey teeth too. Hope this helps someone make a better choice.
