What customers say
This is a quiet, well-maintained site with friendly and helpful staff. Visitors praised the clean facilities, spacious pitches, and convenient on-site shop. The fishing lake and surrounding countryside are popular features. Some guests noted the pitches are on a slope and may require levelling blocks, and there are ongoing improvements to the site.

Needs attention
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Quiet site.
Disliked WOW! and not in a good way. We booked a week but left on the Monday. We got there on Thurs and the bin in the kitchen wash up area & toilets were full and wasn't emptied. Soiled nappies!! The showers / toilets wasn't cleaned at all in the time we stayed. They is no were to put your clothes when showering. The owner needs to try the showers just to see how difficult it is. The picture on the website isn't what you get as your pitch! It needs someone to spend some time on tiding it .

From the manager: Thankyou Barry for leaving a review, as we saw you every day and you never mentioned anything, you praised us, so exactly the opposite this review is a bit of a surprise
The bins are emptied every day and the toilet /shower facilities are cleaned at least three times a day, as highlighted by other reviews.
We are looking at the shower facilities
Nice site with modern facilities that are always kept clean.
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked The facilities was very modern and also clean. The staff was lovely, We stayed for two nights and it was genuinely amazing. It was the first time taking my 7yo fishing and we had the best time. Even though I have put dislikes the likes massively out weighed them. I will definitely be booking again
Disliked Limited facilities (showers), Hard to get caravan level on pitch.

From the manager: Thankyou Adam, when you rebook let us know and we can try and get you on a different pitch
