Liked: Nice quiet site - well it was until some sort of boating regatta! No, can't fault the site. Didn't use toilets or showers so can't rate them. It's useful to have water on the pitch. It was a bit chaotic on the Friday with lost of new units coming on site - problems caused by people pitching up on the wrong side of their pitch despite clear notices telling you how to pitch.

Liked: Have visited this site many times. It has a somewhat chequered history but the new owners have done a lot of work and the site is now very clean and tidy. It is a perfect location and there are lots of things to do in the local area. The site is normally quiet and peaceful with lovely views of the lake.
Disliked: Unfortunately the Bin Lorry chose to very noisily empty the bins at 6.15am on a Bank Holiday Monday morning Not the fault of the site of course but annoying when on holiday.
