Liked: The site is very peaceful and quiet and everyone was very respectful of each other. The toilets and showers are the cleanest I have ever experienced and were a pleasure to use. The on-site pub served lovely food, had a lovely garden and was far enough away from the campsite not too be disruptive. Lovely field at the back of the site for the dog to have a run around in.
