Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Lovely, quiet camp site. Staff in the on site pub/ B&B were fab and super accommodating, particularly when letting a bunch of us camper book last minute rooms after our tents were flooded due to constant heavy rain. All in all, a great site with great views!
Disliked: The bathroom area was fairly clean but could use a couple of pegs or a table to put your stuff on, because you have to use the floor for your clean stuff etc.

Liked: Easy to book and find. Lovely grass pitches for our tent. The views are spectacular.
Disliked: There is only two shower/toilet stalls, so there can be a bit of a queue in the mornings.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Nice setting, handy having a pub and restaurant on site. Lovely little lake nearby.
Disliked: Not shown where to go just given some vague instructions. Despite groups of adults arriving and drinking in the pub until closing, no one checked on the field later in the night. People drinking, shouting and partying with no consideration for other campers. Resulted in big fight, serious threats and awful language. Thank god our kids slept through it or they would have been very upset and scared. Got no sleep. Would not return.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The pub and surrounding area was nice
Disliked: 2 wet rooms containing shower and toilet, so expect a wait. Constantly dirty with full bins. No hand soap. Farcical set up. Didnt allocate spaces so someone was in our electrical pitch without using electric. Pointed in the directon of a field and basically wished me luck. Cant park next to your pitch which is a nightmare having to carry your stuff. No wifi. Lights off at 2330 is not enforced. Site was invaded by scousers looking to party and nothing was done about it. 2am there was a huge fight with serious threats made, police called out. Site security or owners nowhere to be seen until next day. Got zero sleep, and had I brought my kids they'd have been traumatised.

Liked: The views were great and the pitches were good that they had stones, grip.
Disliked: Showers were in the toilet cubicles and so when two people were taking a long shower I had to wait 20 mins for the toilet.
