Liked: Perfect site for us, took our dogs this time. Plenty of room for the dogs to walk around inside the site and loads of walking routes adjacent to site. Toilets and showers on site are kept lovely and clean and the site shop was well stocked. Have been here several times this year and will come back again next year.
Disliked: The cold nights 🥶🥶🥶
