Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Very friendly clean site. Easy to walk round the fishing lake and watch the fishers. Clean toilets, showers and washing areas. Little playground for the kids
Disliked: Not a dislike, but more of an awareness that as you are near to Donnington there maybe a low humming of noise coming from that area. Did not bother us.
Nicely situated between Ashby and Melbourne but nowhere nearby, off site, to walk to without going on the fast main road.
No wifi, did not bother us and will be put in at some point.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: It is a nice setting very picturesque and well locate it.
Disliked: I'm often struck in my interactions with others just how quickly some people revert to ugly behavior.
Do the insecure and the week among us still believe that resorting to physical intimidation is still a valid form of communication?
As was the case of these two dafties, the screaming into my face only inches away was probably made worse by the fact that I was not intimidated by him. In fact my calm and measured response in suggestions of the many alternative ways in dealing with disagreements seemingly made things worse for him.
Maybe some anger management classes might help him to deal with his insecurities.
It is often the people or the politics that stand in the way of an otherwise great product.
