Great place, friendly staff
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Clean, accessible and friendly. The staff really are lovely. Our pitch was big enough and had a bench table for us to use. Pizzas are tasty and outside area is great for socialising with the added bonus of kids play area. Overall the place was perfect.
