Liked: It was a nice clean and tidy campsite.
Disliked: It didn’t offer much for young children, the pool was out of order and for such a big campsite we were surprised it didn’t have a park.

Liked: The space for the children to play and round around is perfect for the group of families who came with us. Children and adults thorough enjoyed the activities. Staff were helpful and informative.
Disliked: The queues for the activities were sometimes long and so we didn't get to do everything within the half day pass.

Liked: Lots to do for the children with good value activity passes. Big space to explore. Nice and quiet site. Staff were friendly.
Disliked: A few things were a bit run down (pool area and its changing area). Toilets were a bit of a mess at times. Check in at 2pm and leave by 11am didn’t give you the best chance to use the activity passes if you were having a short stay.
