Liked: We loved everything. Very spacious pitches. Lovely,well kept site. Fantastic communication from Kev , infact all the team at Charlie Bassets were very helpful and friendly. The pub is an extra bonus for booking a pitch there. The food is awesome, and 'real' chips!! There was entertainment on Friday and Saturday night. The pub has a lovely atmosphere. We had a brilliant short break there. I would highly recommend a visit,we will definitely be booking again.

Liked: A brilliant site with lots to offer, a little early in the season but still loved it, the food from the pub was amazing, and tge staff were very polite and chatty, would recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly site to pitch up on.
Disliked: There was only one downside, could do wit a bit of a shop to buy necessities such as milk and such like, But please be aware that this is not a negative comment about the site at all as it was brilliant.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hi Craig , Thanks for your great Comments really helps us progress and react to different Views etc. We do actually have a Little shop there on site but we don't open it up Until more May Time due to the cost to run and Justify it . But hope you come back in the Warmer Weather to see us again + the Shop Lol Regards Team Charlies
