Electric grass pitch (medium)
Liked Loved how friendly the staff were, they couldn't do enough for us.
The place was fab, pool brilliant.
Our very first camping trip and it was a great one!
Disliked The ground was much harder than we anticipated but we were made aware upon booking that it was this way. We took the chance and regretted it.
45 minutes in the pool isn't enough, although I can appreciate why its done that way.
