Electric grass tent pitch (medium)
Liked: Very clean, well maintained, easy check in. Quiet, respectful families, couples and groups in the community that stayed. Picturesque views, homely vibe and close to Town centre
Disliked: 1. Bathroom attendant was very rude to people, we appreciate she’s doing a great job in keeping the facility clean. But we didn’t expect the reception of attitude from her towards paying guests. Not all visitors are as she clearly perceives 2. Venue is not attached to the lake, though this did not matter to us. It could be a sticking point to others if not advised clearly during point of sale. 3. Might have been us but couldn’t connect to WiFi
