Liked: Warm welcome from host on arrival, facilities (washrooms, toilets, washing up area, motorhome service point) all great. Particularly liked the music playing in the washrooms which made overnight visits much more bearable! Hard-standing pitch was great and liked the landscaping between pitches which gave a little more privacy. Walk to Polstead was very nice. Walking boots and clothing advised during these wetter months. Thank you for a very nice stay!
Disliked: Nothing to dislike
