Electric optional grass touring pitch
Liked Lovely location and big pitches. Food was great and friendly service.
Disliked Lack of anywhere to put wash bags or towels in ladies shower block if you just wanted to wash your face/brush teeth. A bench under the ornate mirror and some hooks on the wall would fix this.

Small, quiet, friendly, with a pub attached.
Electric optional grass touring pitch
Liked Very friendly, small, low key site in a quiet little valley with swallows swooping over it. We were just doing an overnighter enroute to our holiday further south. The pub had stopped serving food at 8 and we'd arrived late but the bar staff were really helpful, checked with another pub a 10 minute walk away and sent us up there.

Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked What an amazing site absolutely perfect. Couldn’t ask for better. Pub beer garden was outstanding, food was amazing & every staff member was so friendly & happy to accommodate. Entertainment was fantastic. Shower block was spotless, a truly wonderful stay. Best site visited to date. Can’t wait to come back. Excellent value for a weekend away & fantastic check in time to make the most of your first day. Just an amazing weekend. Will be back at this site. WiFi didn’t reach to pitch 12 but had that much fun we noticed for the first time that we didn’t need WiFi or TV.

Owner was very welcoming on his rounds.
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Very quiet and tranquil, plenty of room in the pitches. lots of wild birds especially the little robin who kept eating the dogs food. Entertainment open mic. Food and drinks were very reasonably priced. Toilets and showers were spotlessly clean.
Disliked None.

Perfect spot, great staff, wonderful setting good food and atmosphere
Electric optional grass touring pitch
Liked Pitch perfect to coin a phrase. We arrived mid week so there was no problem getting a spot. We rang ahead and requested a pitch and the staff were polite, informative and very helpful. It is perfectly situated for a nice ramble down by the canal. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. The owner called to see us the next morning, polite, welcoming, and hard at work.
Disliked It is quite a slope driving in with the motorhome. We had to turn just before a bridge and then down the slope, but we managed to get in and back out up the slop without any problems.
