Liked: Upon arrival was put into a hard standing pitch as the weather had been bad and they didn’t want the van getting stuck- appreciate that as it was very boggy.
Disliked: Basic facilities. Nowhere to wash up other than the toilet block.

Liked: Husband and son went for fishing an overnight stay in the camper van. The owner took his time to go over and have a chat and he was a lovely man. Plenty of fish caught (I think 20 between them). They will be back

Liked: a beautiful place, a very nice man who takes care of it, but the place has been damaged by time and needs renovation, unfortunately the photos do not resemble what it is now and there is no grill. However, it was a very nice time
