Liked: The layout of the site is great so no one is too far from the facilities. The fact that there are two charging points for electronic cars was a real bonus. The site is clean, well spaced out and lovely clean facilities. The shop is well stocked and fairly priced with lots on offer.
Disliked: The only thing was a couple of cars parking in the electronic spaces which were not ecars or on charge!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review Lisa, it was a pleasure to have you and we very much hope to see you again soon! With regards to the cars parking in the electric charging spaces, we may have to take a bit of responsibility for that as that is usually where we (the staff) park. Those spaces were always our overflow car parking spaces and sometimes they are still used as such, sorry! We will try to remember to be more mindful of this going forward. Kind Regards, Team PYB

Liked: Loved the site, it was clean and had more than enough space for our tent. Facilities were clean and modern and the shop had all the essential. They even provide a fire pit! All the staff we met were so kind and friendly, especially when we had an emergency leading a friend going to hospital. We had to wait for a ride home, meaning we were checking out slightly later and the woman couldn’t have been more understanding! Lovely experience all round, would definitely recommend!
Disliked: Nothing, everything was amazing!
