Electric optional grass pitch
Liked: Good caravan site. Very friendly and caring proprietor who did eberything she could to accomodate the needs af a disabled couple of caravaners.
Disliked: Our pitch was further from the black and grey water emptying points than we would have liked. Though the site owner tried, there sadly wasn't a closer pitch available when we arrived. She assured us that on our next visit, provided we gave her warning that we had disabilities, she would ensure we were allocated a closer pitch.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: Nice clean shower and toilet block. There was a cafe on site with food/drinks which is useful. I think they had breakfast croissants too.
Disliked: Couldn't choose your pitch. I had some people quite close to me and could hear their conversation. I was on the side nearer the wash block but wouldn't have liked being far away on the other side of field.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback — we're really pleased to hear you appreciated the clean shower and toilet block, and found the on-site café and breakfast options useful!
We’re sorry to hear that you weren’t entirely happy with the pitch allocation. While we don’t offer pitch selection when booking online, we always do our best to accommodate preferences where we can. If you'd let us know during your stay that you'd prefer to be in a different spot, we’d would have moved you if we could so please do bear that in mind in the future.
Please feel free to give us a call when booking and we will reserve your preferred pitch for you if we can.
We really hope to welcome you back again soon!
This our 3rd visit and can not fault this site and will be back soon i
