Holme Pierrepont Country Park

Liked Location and actual pitch - plus clear instructions from email

Disliked Toilet block very grubby, and at one stage pestered by a very obnoxious youth. Now, whilst cannot blame site necessarily - if this is the clientele you have on site then I regret I won’t be back.
