Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We were welcomed on arrival and the lady and gentleman were very friendly. They gave us information on local attractions and places to visit.
It wasn't overly busy on the site for the tent pitching so we were lucky to get the corner plot (naughty corner as the lady put it, which made me chuckle 😆).
The toilets were great, everything you needed and they also had showers which were great.
You can order a fire pit with all the wood etc for £10 but it was quite a sunny warm day and didn't bother.
There were washing up facilities, waste facilities all adequate for what you need.
Ground was level which we liked and grass kept short.
We will return at some point for sure.
Disliked Nothing really, it's set back from a road but quiet at night.

Lovely site would definitely recommend and stay again
Anonymous Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Hosts were super lovely, very informative and very welcoming.
Site was well set out with a separate adults area on the grass (I was with my son on a visit to Alton Towers), which made for a quieter area were we were situated in the hard standing area. However they didn’t seem to rowdy. The site was 10 minutes drive from the parking at Alton Towers which was a welcome short journey at the end if a long day at Alton towers completely walked and adrenalined out. Toilets were lovely and clean. We are self contained so didn’t use the showers but they looked decent.
There were a fair few hungry horse flies about so remember your bug spray.
Disliked The hard standings with electric hook up back on to the road. We live in quite a rural area with very little through traffic so are use to quieter roads. It did quieten down over night but this may bother some people.
