Liked: This site is well laid out, lovely and clean facilities. The staff were lovely and helpful.
Disliked: Our pitch was right by the road and the traffic noise was loud although quiet during the night.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Stuart, we're glad you enjoyed the site and our facilities. Sorry you were unhappy with the position of your pitch due to the road noise - as we always say, if people come and let us know of a problem, we will always try to do our best to rectify it. The electric only pitches are the ones along the road so that is why one of those was allocated to you. However, we did have other pitches available so we could have moved you if you asked. Kind Regards, Team PYB
