Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The area is beautiful. Picturesque scenery as described.The lady who checked on with us was friendly and welcoming. This site is not particularly a family site as no amenities close. Lovely level area to pitch up and bins to use.
Disliked: The pub and park was not a 10 minute walk. Took us close to an hour as opposed to 10 minutes as advertised (with pushchair). Wouldn't advise walking there with a young family as we had to walk on the road the majority of the way due to lack of pavements. Also only one tap and we witnessed people washing out their camping toilets- then people filling up drinking bottles from same tap. It needs a separate tap for drinking/cooking. Portaloo kept clean.

Liked: We arrived at around 17:00 and was able to pitch up where we liked. The park was clean, tidy and the toilet was also clean and had plenty of toilet roll. The park was quiet and all guests seemed lovely. We were greeted by the owner and asked if we were OK. Lovely campsite.

Liked: I loved my weekend there. The only downside is that I couldn't find the playground advertised and there was water bit not a sink to wash dishes as the pictures in the advert showed. Apart from that, perfect place.
