Brilliant site, will definitely visit again
Electric optional grass touring pitch
Liked The camp site was clean and well kept. We booked a grass pitch with electric hook up and there was water tap on pitch, which was a nice surprise, as then a full service pitch. Beautiful view from our pitch. Outside bar and food area very nice. It rained so we spent Friday evening in the site pub, great night and very welcoming local people.

Suitable for travelling with furry friends
Electric optional grass touring pitch
Liked Arrived safely, Location is a short distance from the main road so you have to be aware of locals who know the road.
As soon as we arrived we were greeted by member of staff who offered us a choice of sites as it was a Thursday. We chose the hard standing which came with full electric and water.
Later that evening we had a meal in the pub which is on site, prices were very good and the portions were larger than you get down south.
The location is very quiet and we had a peaceful night.
We would stay at this location again if we are touring the area.

Fantastic site, beautiful views, lovely pub & immaculate facilities.
Electric optional grass touring pitch
Liked Beautiful location with lovely views surrounding the site. We received a warm welcome on arrival and had also been sent a text message with important information about booking in, WiFi code etc. The pitches are very spacious with electric hook up and water easily accessible which made setting up very easy. The pub on site is also friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed a lovely meal and drink in the sunshine. The whole site is immaculately kept and the brand new toilet and shower blocks are cleaned regularly. We were only here overnight but hope to return for a longer visit very soon. The morning visit from a pair of ducks was the icing on the cake.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.

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.
From the manager: Hi Lura ,
Thank you for your review and comments , its much appreciated.
Be good to see you again in the future ,
As regards the Slight issue with Hooks on the Walls etc. we will sort some of these out to hopefully make your stay complete ,
Hope to see you again to tick this box .
