Non-electric gravel motorhome pitch
Liked: Back to nature, rustic campsite. Absolutely loved it, we much prefer the smaller and quiet sites like this. No ehu but self contained so all fine, toilet and shower are super clean, felt like being in a bathroom at home since we're full timers. Little stream is lovely and the benches/hammocks dotted around are a nice touch. Had a really peaceful undisturbed night. Pitch was level and gave us plenty of room in our xlwb. Will return if we are in this area again and would recommend.
Disliked: Lack of bin facilities

1 bedroom static caravan
Liked: Loved every minute, it was so lovely there we paid for an night, the cabin was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. Based on a quiet site but close enough to amenities with a shop and pub 5 minutes by car or easily walkable. Andy the owner was friendly and chatty and nothing was to much trouble for him, we went to the gnoll park on the Sunday which was only half hr by car. Will definetly visit again.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Everything! The caravan was lovely and clean, had everything in it I needed. The area was peaceful and quiet; the owner was really friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back for another stay! Haven't rated child friendliness as it's an adults-only site and I haven't rated wifi as I didn't use it.
Disliked: Nothing.
