Electric grass touring pitch
Liked I received a text message welcoming me to the site, with access codes and WiFi codes. On arrival, Reception was very friendly and directed me to our pitch. The pitch and facilities were excellent. There was also a dog play area for me to exercise our 2 dogs. The pub was also a welcome retreat from the searing heat. I highly recommend this site.
Disliked Nothing was disappointing.
