Disliked Was unaware that the pub was closed on Tuesday afternoons and had to find somewhere to eat. No drama but would have been helpful to know in advance.
From the manager: Hi Dylan
Thanks for your review… all information of opening hours of the pub are on pitch up.
Kind regards

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Friendly host. No fuss. Can pitch up and leave what ever time you like, so no rush to pack up. Lovely walks in the area. Hard standing pitches with grass at the sides. 5G WiFi but didn't work one night.
Disliked Toilet block is basic and with only two toilets and one shower it will not be enough if the site is half full. Pub was only open at certain times and dogs not allowed inside. Was planning to have a meal but was too cold to sit outside in the evening unfortunately.
Stayed for two nights carry good value.
