Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely location, right by the river and a lovely walk into the town, dogs allowed in the river which is great.
Disliked £25 is we feel too much to pay for the night (£12.50 per person) due to the condition of the toilets and showers, damp and in need of a bit of a revamp, lick of paint etc.... as it is we feel £15 should be the maximum price charged (£7.50 per person)
