Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site
Liked: Onsite bar Spotless facilities Close driving distance to Shrewsbury and walks Very quiet and peaceful Areas for dogs to be off the lead No fobs or codes needed
Disliked: Showers small and push button every few seconds - frustrating Lots of rules and passive aggressive signs everywhere Had to pay for friends to come in and say hello for half an hour even though they were spending money in the onsite bar anyway WiFi was very intermittent Two certain staff members sometimes came across a bit rude or condescending, we are paying guests not school children (the others were lovely!!!)

Liked: Absolutely beautiful place, everyone was very friendly and we had some right good laughs with other campers, the staff and the local farmers. The site is very well maintained and very clean. Nice drinks in the pub and nice food. Will definitely be going back.
Disliked: Not so much as a dislike but more of a thought. It would be amazing to have a part of the site that was for people like us who like to have a few drinks and a laugh and would liked to have carried on later in the night but couldn't past 11pm. By no means was this an issue more of it would of been a nice to be able to.

Liked: Everything. Such a pretty well kept site.There was everything you could want from the spacious pitch which was immaculately kept to the onsite bar and shop . There were shower block facilities for men and woman.Disabled facilities,laundry and a chemical waste disposal area.All clean and working.We even got given doggy biodegradable poo bags . The staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We dined in the quaint bar and the food was lovely with generous portions. Gardens were well manicured with a pretty central fountain. There was a dog run and a little walk area with a pond which had ducks. I couldn’t speak highly enough of this site and we will definitely return . It’s certainly the best site we have ever visited.
Disliked: Nothing,wish all sites were like this one . Thank you to the hard working staff.
