What customers say
This peaceful canal-side site offers spacious, well-maintained pitches with convenient water and electric hook-ups. Guests appreciate the friendly staff, lovely walks, and proximity to a popular pub. While the marina setting is attractive, the toilet and shower facilities are a distance from some pitches and have been described as dated by some, though generally clean. The access road is frequently mentioned as having potholes. WiFi can be intermittent.
