Electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked: The position of the site is fantastic - close to town with lots of dog friendly cafés and enough shops to potter around, and spitting distance of the seafront and harbour. The site has good gravel and grass pitches all with hook-up & water, and face a lake.
Disliked: The toilet/shower facilities desperately need an upgrade - showers far too hot (& then suddenly cold) and little more than a dribble.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (lake view)
Liked: It is a great scenic location with a lake and beach just a few yards away Grounds are well maintained and pitches are nicely spaced out.
Disliked: I forgot my electric cable and the park has no spares but this is not their fault. Luckily I also had gas and solar so it did not spoil my stay.

Could be a nice village centre site if it wasn't for the toilet block.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked: Convenient for beach and the village that has a few pubs small coop and Tesco ,take aways food, although if you like to eat out there isn't much choice, mains water on all pitches but not gray waste water .
Disliked: Toilet block are very tired and extremely small cubicles, motorhome emptying out gray water onto pitches before leaving, (not very considerate to the next person using that pitch) , signage not visible when approaching entrance can easily be missed.
