Liked: We stayed for 1 night, and loved the site! Very friendly staff behind the bar, we had food from the Bbq grill outside, which we all enjoyed! The meat was fantastic! 2 toilets and a shower, aswell as waste disposal and washing area; which was all great to see on a pub site. We definitely will be back again :)

Liked: Absolutely fantastic site! From checking in, the team were friendly and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. The onsite pub was lovely and reasonably priced with great service and what we assume were a lovely group of locals. We didn’t eat at the site however people around were commenting how good the food was. Toilets and showers were clean as was the whole site. We had two dogs with us and there are some lovely walks around. We couldn’t find fault with our stay! We would recommend to anyone and we will definitely be re booking.
Disliked: Nothing we disliked!

Liked: Lovely pub on site, take away pizza available. Large pitches, very clean toilets and shower.

Liked: Lovely site with great views, staff very helpful, food at the pub was good. Great to see another shower/toilet in construction. Shower and toilet clean and tidy. Good idea getting a text message with information including address, gate codes, and Wi-Fi password.Will definitely be back
Disliked: Not a dislike just would be great if the current shower and toilet were for exclusive use but understand as it’s so near the pub garden it’s convenient for everyone when the weather is good
