Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: Very clean and new heated bathrooms. Small level site
Disliked: Unfortunately as other reviews said the road is noisy. It didn't bother me much in the day but kept waking me at night. My son slept fine though! No cars allowed on the field which we managed as it's small and there was a cart to use. Motor homes were allowed to drive on though. Not sure if this is the rule year round or just whem we went in April.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: This is a very nice place! The lady at the reception was very sweet, and the place was very clean. Toilets spotless and warm, washing up area with very hot water, lovey for cleaning. Very easy to get take out delivered also. There is a nice walk to do close to it, strongly suggested.
Disliked: Phone signal not the best, but it isn't a biggie for us

Liked: Very relaxed.... Even though directly on A52 the noise from the road was no problem at all
Disliked: More toilets would be handy. Not a prob this time as only a few tents.... But if more my become an issue. Please be aware it's on A52.... So not safe to walk along the road.
