Liked: Unfortunately we were not able to continue with our break this time but Karen and Simon messaged us a lovely message checking we were ok and safe travels. We have stayed at this campsite a few times before and can not fault anything. It’s clean, toilets and showers well maintained, Karen and Simon really friendly. Fantastic place to stay.

Liked: Friendly and communicative welcome. The couple who oversee the site are exceptional and incredibly helpful. They have mastered the ability to be available and yet completely respectful of your own space and time. The space we stayed in was perfect for our son and dog. The washing up area was clean and easy to use. The shower was warm and the toilets clean! What more could you ask for?
Disliked: One shower needed to be looked at for pressure - it didn't dampen the trip whatsoever but wanted to highlight so it can be considered.

Liked: Karen & Simon always give the warmest of welcomes. This is by far one of my favourite campsites. I visit multiple times in the year. This visit was to experiment with my new Awning, as it’s a lovely flat pitch to trial new equipment. Toilets are always pristine and I used the chest freezer for the first time for my ice blocks (The utility area is a lovely touch) The sunsets from the camping field are something you must experience.
Disliked: nothing, it’s always a pleasure.
