Good site all round.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked What a wet weekend but this didn’t spoil a fantastic time with our friends. As Motorhome owners we have the gear for all weather. We were on a grass pitch this time… our fault…note to self to book earlier at this popular fabulous site for a hard standing pitch at Charlie Bassetts. Had another good hearty fresh cooked filling meal in the pub, it was a vibrant busy night but we were served very quickly with hot food. Clean facilities & site. Lovely team members, friendly & polite. Been here a few times now & there will be many more to come.

What a find! Just returned from…
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked What a find! Just returned from a lovely break here. Site is very well kept. Showers really nice, modern and clean. Staff couldn’t do enough. The pub on site had acoustic entertainment and the food was unreal, we all had the homemade pie. This one is on the list as a frequent stay.

Second time we’ve been, first was lovely, second not so much
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked The person at the gate was friendly and helpful
Disliked Flooded pitch, unable to reach the electric hook up, only one shower and toilet per sex for the whole site.

From the manager: Hi
+ Wow I think you must have had blinkers on 😩 or come in the Dark / Went in the Dark and did not explore our site .
You review is totally misleading 🫣
Our Toilet Shower blocks are exceptional check out all our other comments .
There are x3 Female Showers
There are x2 Male Showers
Plus There is a Disabled Block with a shower/wet room that can also be used.
We have had torrential rain for weeks so out of our control as regards Water .
Hope your travels take you to Posh places
