From the manager: Thanks so much for taking time to leave a review and we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay, in spite of the unseasonable chilly days! The free Wifi is most effective on the main field but cannot be guaranteed elsewhere but, as you say, that can indeed be beneficial.

Liked: Arrival welcome. Layout of the site. Facilities available. ‘Central’ pitches sectioned off with mature hedging for privacy.
Disliked: Appreciate that the Reception could not always be staffed but would have preferred a bell to ring or an honesty box for purchases rather than call a mobile number for assistance.
