What a fabulous site!
Camping pod
Liked Absolutely everything! What a site - gorgeous surroundings from the moment we looked out our pod, to the local area on the way to the shop or finding a place to hike.
We hired a pod for 2 nights and safe to say we are 100% decided on returning next year - well worth the 4 hour drive!
The facilities are very modern and absolutely spotless, we've been to many sites and never seen one this clean. The showers are great, hair dryers are provided and lovely soap and moisturiser in the toilets. The site in general is well maintained with plenty of recycling bins too which is always a massive green flag for us. There's an enclosed dog exercise field across the road too which is super handy. Sharon who we met on site is so helpful and friendly too. The shop sells an array of things although we didn't need to buy anything, it was helpful knowing it was there. Gutted we departed prior to the bacon rolls being cooked on the Sunday morning though - next time!

Great site that I'd recommend time and again.
Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked I stayed in my small camper van on a grass electric pitch. It is the second time I have stayed at this campsite. The site is well arranged, clean, tidy and it's the second lovely welcome I have received on check-in. The clean and tidy includes the toilets, showers and washing up area. It really is the top end of sites I have stayed at in the past. The first time I stayed was with my partner and this most recent time I stayed by myself.
Disliked Nothing.

Camping pod
Liked a great quiet site. toilet blocks spotless.
Disliked would be good to have a final point for children like a play park. but that's maybe not the market they are aiming for. no big issue though.

Beautiful Site
Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked I booked this place last minute as the one we'd chosen wasn't available. This site is amazing, one of the best I have seen. Very large pitches. Plenty of space for camper, awning without even going on the grass area. It was a shame we had to cut our trip short due to a family emergency. Attention to detail is good. Two toilet blocks and showers and porta loos. Very high standard and kept spotlessly clean. There's about 12 pot wash sinks. A dog wash. The pitches have their own water supply and Electric hookup. Massive enclosed dog field for your furry friends. Very reasonable prices as well. We will definitely be returning.
