Liked: Wonderful clean field and pitches. Tidy and spacious site. Excellent facilities - best showers ever experienced on a camp site! Small but tidy cleaning/washing up facilities. Fridge, freezer and microwave for all to share and access. Intimate and exclusive feel as limited pitches. Will definitely book again - not only for next years Outlaw event (12 miles away & easily accessible) but for mini breaks this year. A little gem hidden away.
Disliked: Traffic occasionally noisy but didn’t really impact the stay.

Liked: Very clean and new heated bathrooms. Small level site
Disliked: Unfortunately as other reviews said the road is noisy. It didn't bother me much in the day but kept waking me at night. My son slept fine though! No cars allowed on the field which we managed as it's small and there was a cart to use. Motor homes were allowed to drive on though. Not sure if this is the rule year round or just whem we went in April.

Liked: This was a beautiful location! Playground for the kids, toilet block was really clean. The whole site was small which was a real plus as no over crowding.
Disliked: Only negative is the road noise at night but can’t be helped.
